Neutral Green-Accented Sneakers

Nike Releases the Air Monarch IV in the 'Light Bone' Colorway

Nike is introducing a new iteration of the Air Monarch IV that perfectly suits the upcoming summer season. White, shock green, light mahogany, light bone, and pewter grey make up the sneaker's color palette. Its uppers are covered in neutral-colored shades of light mahogany and bone, while hits of shock green cover the outline of the Swoosh, the front lace tab, and the tab that rests on the outsoles. The heels and tongues of the Air Monarch silhouette are surrounded by mesh and have a leather structure.

To complete the look, the shoe has a pewter-gray rubber outsole sitting atop a white midsole.

The new Nike Air Monarch IV in 'Light Bone' releases in the coming months on Nike's website and at select retailers.
