Nike is dressing the Air Monarch IV in a bold new look this fall. The upcoming Nike Air Monarch IV “Wheat” transforms the reliable trainer into a seasonal staple built for cooler weather.

Ditching its usual leather build, this version arrives in full suede. The wheat upper is rich in texture and features tonal stitching, flat laces, and breathable mesh on the tongue. Subtle branding on the heel and tongue keeps the design focused on materials over flash. Embroidered Swooshes blend in cleanly with the tonal upper.

A matching midsole houses the signature full-length Air unit for support and comfort. Meanwhile, the gum rubber outsole adds a subtle contrast and reliable grip. Utility-inspired pull tabs on the tongue and heel complete the boot-like finish.

The suede and gum combo feels more elevated than past general releases, and it fits right in with today’s love for tonal, retro silhouettes. This isn’t just a dad shoe anymore, it’s a legitimate fall rotation option.

The Nike Air Monarch IV “Wheat” releases in Fall 2025 through Nike.com and select Nike Sportswear retailers.

While the Monarch has long been known as a go-to for comfort and practicality, this version leans into lifestyle appeal.
