Atlanta Boutique A Ma Maniére Teams Up with Nike for 10th Anniversary Collection
Atlanta-based boutique A Ma Maniére is celebrating its 10th anniversary in style with a new collaboration with Nike. The collection, titled “While You Were Sleeping,” features an expansive range of footwear and will also be accompanied by a film, as teased in the Instagram post below.
Not only is A Ma Maniére working with Nike for this project, but also with its Jordan Brand and Converse subsidiaries. This marks only the second time ever that a collaborator has involved all three brands for one collection, following in the footsteps of Virgil Abloh’s Off-White™ and its legendary “THE TEN” campaign in 2017.
While we eagerly await a complete set of imagery for each pair, A Ma Maniére has provided a first look at all six to get us excited. The Air Jordan 3, previously spotted and discussed as the “Black/Violet Ore” colorway, actually sports the “W.Y.W.S.” name that all six pairs carry. This pair revisits the first retro model that A Ma Maniére collaborated on with Jordan Brand, featuring a refined color palette with “Flat Pewter” and “Violet Ore” detailing.
The Air Jordan 4, another pair that we have seen teasers of leading up to this reveal, features a lighter color composition with pink and burgundy accents. The new Air Jordan 39 completes the Jordan Brand inclusions and utilizes the model’s textured upper with a combination of dark and light brown shades.
Nike’s involvement in the collection allowed A Ma Maniére to rework the Air Force 1 Low, the first Nike model it collaborated on back in 2019. The initial glimpse of the shoe shows a tan base with silver Swooshes and a semi-translucent outsole, all resting beneath a white midsole. The other Nike model in the collection is the Air Max 95, which was first seen during Paris Fashion Week in January. This pair also features layers of brown on the intricate structure of the AM95, with subtle branding on the lateral toe.
Completing the range is A Ma Maniére’s collaboration with Converse, featuring the low-top version of the Weapon in off-white and soft brown hues. The shoe also includes an AMM branding hit on the lateral heel.
The release of the collection will begin with the Air Jordan 3 “W.Y.W.S.” on August 20, available exclusively online and in-store at A Ma Maniére for $225 USD. Stay tuned for updates, including a preview of complementary apparel from the duo, as all six pairs are expected to hit shelves by the end of the year.
