Air Monarch = Most underrated sneaker of all time. Ordered me pair (Black/White colorway) to see what it's about. Gotta be honest, low-key fire yo. It's all about the wearer and how you style it. Period.
I had Nike Air Monarch in red/white/black colorway for a year and a week ago I bought one more pair in blue/white/black and they are best for this price in my opinion. They looks good and they are very comfortable :)
If this is the last episode the Balenciagas are gonna be featured in, let me buy them off of you guys. I’m a size 6. I would definitely put them to use.
Interesting, but not really a pragmatic review on how it feels, how long it lasts, is it a good walking shoe, etc... I'm only interested in it because it is one of the few sneakers that come in width 4E. I think a better comparison would have between the Monarch and the Nike Defy All Day, because they look almost identical, except more light weight.
this is the reason why high fashion and street fashion are so on opposite sides of the spectrum you can hardly see similarities. street fashion has influenced high fashion in recent years ONLY in attempts to reach younger audiences. younger people buy street fashion wear because of the price point. Im sure my 13 year old self would have looked at the balenciagas and laughed my ass off. HOWEVER it is important to not that although both worlds sometimes take inspiration from one another HIGH FASHION is responsible for taking the trends from common street wear, glitzing it up on some quality ragu type of shit (Like you aint never had pasta sauce like this shit before and it looks better), then pushing the boundaries thus pushing the fashion for a specific style or trend ten fold. the after effects can be seen the following season with more street wear brands tryin to replicate what was on the runway or showroom floors of your guccis etc. and so the cycle continues. I think if you can honestly look at the air monarch and say its a cooler shoe than the triple s, or that you'd rather have the nikes to the balenciagas you've got to get your head checked for two reasons: 1. if you don't like them, take that triple s and resell them for that 800 and get you a whole closet full of monarchs you fashion backwards noodle head. lol AND 2. you think you gonna get any play or turning heads by wearing monarchs? lol nahhhh man. keep those mid 90's fast food and them park inspired shoes. ya'll need to ask people that have more of an open mind or at least follow fashion. lol
That Nike Air Monarch were/are popular kicks in prison. At least in the state of California. They were clean, affordable and looked cool. I myself had a pair but I also had the old school Reebok classics which I wore a lot more than the Nikes. Air Force 1’s were also available but for me, the price just wasn’t worth it considering the fact that there’s really no one to impress that much in prison.
Jayke Lattlay-Fottfoy I was gonna say, that I don't get why it's looked at as the "old white guy" shoe. I see more like 35-50 year old black and white guys wearing it who like work for the post office or ups wearing these. It's more just for older people who need something affordable and for work
B Spen that’s real talk. Because, to be honest, it’s really not a comfortable shoe. I can’t speak on those weird looking Balenciaga shoes because comfort or not, I wouldn’t pay that much for a shoe even if I had the money. Or maybe I would but not on a pair that looks like that. And from what I’ve seen lately, those air monarchs are the shit they have on sale at Ross or at Big 5. The bargain pair of shoes. Other than prison, where our selection is very limited, I wouldn’t wear them out here at all.
Jayke Lattlay-Fottfoy me neither. Just bot my style, but I was gonna say my homie is only 26 and wears them to work too, but he's Hispanic and low on funds. I just don't get why people always have to say old white people shoes
B Spen yeah, I feel the same. What’s “old” considered now a days? And I see white people wearing running/walking shoes way more than I see those monarchs lol. That’s a fact.
I really love how nike, balenciagas adidas have people really paying top dollar rent in some cases buying orthepedic shoes. Lol freewill is a must. Damn !!! Thhose marketing strategist.
imo the dad shoe culture ruined the triple s, not the way around. I think they look aight for what they were trying to do design wise, but the price is stupid.
Balenciaga are taking the piss at this point with the triple S, crocs and now this shirt shirt thing. Anybody who is buying balaciaga right now is way too caught up in this shitty ass hype
Sorry I am tired of Balenciaga being called Dad shoes. No way, you guys don't know shit about Fashion. They are Girl Kicks, like Candies, Skechers, Echo White's, etc which was huge in the Late 90's early 00's. Pam Anderson, Jessica Simpson, J.Lo, Nicki Minaj, Britney Spears, Rihanna, etc all made that Trend Popular, but not at all Dad Shoe related.

@@poochypoachy240 bro I’m on the fence, what are your views for it? Is it too weird for a teen to wear these? Also the sizing?

They are acting like they have never seen balenciaga triple a ...I thought this is complex
I’d rock the monarchs. Them boys don’t look bad on feet if you know how to wear them
Agree with your bro on feet they 🔥 niggas just don’t know to pull them off😎
POC Skellington Look up TonyD2wild dad shoe challenge, then come talk to😴 they low key look good on feet bruh 👀
I would not say bad they just regular lookin shoes.
POC Skellington Ok hype beast. We know you can't pull them off. Other people who are better can.
Wait until Virgil or Undefeated do a collab on these and suddenly everyone starts wearing them lol
The Air Monarchs are Highkey fire 😆
Frazier out here looking like a bring your child to work day kid .
I had Nike Air Monarch in red/white/black colorway for a year and a week ago I bought one more pair in blue/white/black and they are best for this price in my opinion. They looks good and they are very comfortable :)
They should make a meme called for the air monacrch called "imma tell my kids these the jordan 11s" 😆 lol
bro wtf I’m 19 and got the monarchs...kinda slept on 🤤
i'm 29 i just bought the black/white/red colorway looking like the bred monarch 4s lol

I've bought 3 pairs of monarchs! I like how they look! Love em!
It’s just how u wear them and they’re very comfortable ngl
I just got my first ever pair of Monarchs this week, the white and navy kicks...so comfy!
If this is the last episode the Balenciagas are gonna be featured in, let me buy them off of you guys. I’m a size 6. I would definitely put them to use.
The best part of this video is the end when Brennan throws the shoe and walk down the stairs😂
"The official shoe of yelling at children."
Market Monarchs with that and it'll sell out.
The Nike shoes aren’t even bad wtf😂😂 i would actually get them ngl

Wow so the Balenciaga triple s ain't nothing but a dressed up Air Monarch 🤣🤣🤣 I'm clowning niggas forever for wearing em now

i get that a lot to.. so what we young forever
"You ever watch Ninja Turtles?.. YOu ever look at the bottom of they feet?" LMFAO!!
I’m surprised most of them don’t know the hype around these shoes!
Rock the monarchs with loose fit pants and it's the best sneaker you can find
How is this channel so popular?
I'll get these Air Monarchs in all black for work they seem comfy as hell and I need a all black shoe
Balneciaga sss and yeezy 500 blush are my gavorite shoes right now
"Its like a fucking volvo"
"Some high powered Skechers shit" Holy fuck i laughed so hard at that comment. XD
Unironically air monarchs are fuego
4:11 official shoes for yelling at kids xD
I can blow $850 on much more cool stuff. Plus those things are hideous
BEARD MAN I googled them not too long ago and they was selling for $1000.. I would never
I agree..ugliest sneaker ever designed!!!!!!!
I thought I was the only one...those things are just plain disgusting. $850? Insane. $1000? Not in a billion years..
I bought my monarchs as a joke but they are the most comfortable shoes I bought a second pair
Why you asking complex staff and not actual dads tho? (Not that the results would change)
They’re mad comfy though
Funny how you didn’t even bother asking Brendan Dunn
4:48 Hipster vs Hypebeast
The Monarch laugh should have been Spice Adams... “Ah Ha Ha”
The monarch is the shoe that made me a sneakerhead
i'm 36-not a dad :) and i have them in black.super comfortable and specialy good for wide feet
those laughs killed me lmao, i see what yall did there, dad laughs for the Monarchs and millennial laughs for the Balenciaga
You will never skip leg day whenever you wear out your balenciaga triple s
Brendon trying to flex at the end there, boy pick up that shoe.
As always Complex giving Nike free advertising
HorrorFun23 Plot twist: Complex owned by Nike
if you hangout and go out with friends the Nike Air Monarch but if you are going to take pictures or something the Balenciagas!
2:10 Whhyyy is he lying? lol
Yo cop your monarchs now cuz when some nike employee hop on this shit the prices finna skyrocket
Ps: Do Triple S vs. Puma Thunder.
the Balenciagas looks like a shoe with daddy problems
they look like 2 daddys for one kid
Liked it because of the end lol
$50 for a pair Nike Monarch with real leather can't beat the value
Haha i’m drunk and in the beginning iT looked like you were CJ from GTA SAN andreas
If Walmart would sell Nike's those would be on the shelf
MAAAAAAAAN, these bulky daddy fathers day shoes.
anyone know who/what made that fried chicken shirt @ 3:16
i was about to rage but then he clarified not during the show Seinfeld, "Seinfeld now"
What are those Nike shoes they look kinda fire I think

That monarch look good on foot with the bul in the yankee Jersey
I really love how nike, balenciagas adidas have people really paying top dollar rent in some cases buying orthepedic shoes. Lol freewill is a must. Damn !!! Thhose marketing strategist.
Actually the all black Monarchs don't look bad at all.
Ain’t gonna stunt the red white and black monarch are better
How could you make this video with Spice Adam?
2:10 Why is it so uncomfortable to hear frazier say “nigga”....
Of course I will choose Balenciaga.
Shout out to all the people who spend a band on their shoes and don't have their own house.
Thought that was Logic in the thumbnail
youre colorblind
I'll rock tha gogo gadget balencies lol
Air Monarchs and it’s not even close.
$800 for a shoe, I could hit the Mall and buy half the store with just $500, dffff
I'D GO WITH THE MONARCHS ANY DAY!...
Do a sneaking shopping with Denzel Curry
imo the dad shoe culture ruined the triple s, not the way around. I think they look aight for what they were trying to do design wise, but the price is stupid.
u need to get ninja on the sneaker shopping
monarcs go hard
Balenciaga are taking the piss at this point with the triple S, crocs and now this shirt shirt thing. Anybody who is buying balaciaga right now is way too caught up in this shitty ass hype

Like it or not, monarch is still performance gear. Triple s is for rich lazy bums who rock them for "leisure".
