I watched this video last night and found it absolutely hysterical due to how true it is. What made it even more hysterical, is that I was on my way to work this morning and I was driving through a suburban neighborhood and I saw a couple (50's) taking a stroll down the street and I thought to myself "I guarantee this guy is wearing either NB's or Monarchs". As I passed them, lo and behold, he was wearing an old pair of Monarchs lmfao. It gave me a good laugh 😂

To break it down, the NB is your classic yard-work shoe and has a more simplistic look, while the Monarch is just as qualified for yard-work as the NB, it's a bit flashier, definitely great for going to your local Applebee's, Champ's, Chilis, or any of your local eateries.

These shoes are a win for dads and middle aged guys anywhere. Those days of spending $130 on shoes to impress anybody via the 1980's are over. My experimentation with the Brooks shoes is over also.
