A Ma Maniére's Newest Sneaker Isn't a Jordan Model (Plot Twist)
A Ma Maniére isn't letting us breathe for 2024. I mean, who needs oxygen anyway? I'm totally kidding. But the label does have another sneaker up its sleeves.
It appears A Ma Maniére designed a Nike Air Max 95 sneaker collaboration, after the shoe popped up on-foot in Paris during its men's fashion week.
In the best looks yet, A Ma Maniére's signature violet hues make up the Air Max 95's traditional gradient pattern on the upper. The resulting colorway resembles the "Vast Grey/Oil Grey" Air Max 95s. But A Ma Maniére's pairs boast more purple shades (true to the AMM way).
The most interesting feature of the collaborative Air Max 95 sneakers is the missing woven eyelets, a traditional feature of the 95s. Instead, A Ma Maniére's sneakers present a more standard in-and-out lace system.
A Ma Maniére's Nike Air Maxes maintain the model's thick sole down to the Air units. Regarding other noticeable details, A Ma Maniére's logo gets stamped on the toe and tongue, while the brand's recognizable "A" lands on the heel.
In addition to its Jordan sneakers, A Ma Maniére has delivered a couple of Nike collabs, including Air Ships and Air Force 1 High sneakers, in the past. Nonetheless, it's all still under the Swoosh umbrella.
A Ma Maniére's Air Max 95s are quite the surprise (in a good way). After the reveal of 2024's Jordan 4 collab, sneakerheads were probably anticipating first looks at A Ma Maniére's rumored Jordan 3 next.
Instead, poof: the A Ma Maniére x Nike Air Max 95 appeared. I'm not complaining, though. If my math serves me correct, that means we're now in for three sneakers (so far). Nice.
It's still unknown whether A Ma Maniére's Nike Air Max 95 is a real deal, as neither brand has officially announced the collab. I suspect more details will be revealed down the road. Until then, we wait.
