After months and months of hype and anticipation, A Ma Maniére has finally taken the wraps off its most ambitious release yet. To celebrate its 10th anniversary, the Atlanta-based boutique has revealed the “While You Were Sleeping” collection.
Not only is it a team up with Nike, it also includes three silhouettes from Jordan Brand and even one from Converse as well. While it has only just been announced, sneakerheads are already calling it the biggest trainer drop of the entire year. In fact, there are even some fans who have crowned it the successor to the Off-White x Nike “THE TEN” collection, which completely dominated the scene back in 2017. If you want any of these in your rotation this season, make sure you read on to find out what we know so far!
Kicking off the collection, the Air Jordan 3 is a true standout. This version features a sleek black leather upper, complemented by rough-textured suede on the toe guard and heel. Dark violet accents around the ankle and lace collar add a touch of sophistication, while the quilted lining inside enhances comfort and luxury.
Next in line is the Air Jordan 4, which echoes the design elements of the AJ3 but stands on its own. The upper is covered in a monochromatic light violet hue, creating a minimalist look. Cream-coloured laces and midsoles offer a subtle contrast, while the dark violet lining on the interior adds depth. The deconstructed design continues here, and it’s finished off with alternating branding on the tongues that feature both the Jumpman logo and A Ma Maniére’s signature “A.”
A Ma Maniére also collaborated on the Air Jordan 39, a model that has only just been revealed. The design follows the collection’s signature palette of violet, purple, and black, with a two-tone pattern that highlights the shoe’s contemporary aesthetic. A gum-like translucent rubber outsole adds a functional yet stylish touch, while A Ma Maniére’s script logo on the midsole ties the design together.
As for Nike, the Air Max 95 gets a luxurious makeover. The snealer’s iconic gradient design is elevated with exposed stitching on the upper, leather applications on the mudguard, and thin rope laces that exude a premium feel. The signature violet and black colour scheme also returns, making this AM95 a must-have for collectors.
A Ma Maniére revisits the Air Force 1, adding a fresh twist to the classic silhouette. The shoe boasts a textured lining with the brand’s “A” pattern, reminiscent of their previous projects. A silver Swoosh complements the light pink upper, while modified perforations on the toebox introduce a new dimension to the design. The iconic “AIR” on the midsole is replaced with “A MA MANIÉRE,” making this pair truly unique.
Rounding out the collection is the Converse Weapon Low. This version is painted in a light bone, khaki, and soft pink combination, with contrast stitching that adds visual interest. The quilted interior has also been introduced here, offering both comfort and style.
Each pair in the A Ma Maniére “While You Were Sleeping” collection will be available through raffles on its website and store, starting with the Air Jordan 3 on August 20th. This pack solidifies A Ma Maniére’s status as an industry leader in luxury streetwear, offering a range of footwear that celebrates both the past and the future.
