Few brands have impacted sneaker culture over the last decade like A Ma Maniere. The Whitaker Group-owned brand was founded by sneaker retail veteran James Whitner and has released some of the most coveted sneaker collaborations in the modern era. To celebrate AMM’s 10th anniversary, Whitner is making history by becoming the first brand to create a Nike, Jordan, and Converse collection since the late Virgil Ablog released Off-White’s “The Ten” in 2017. The “While You Were Sleeping” collection includes an Air Jordan 3, Air Jordan 4, Air Jordan 39, Air Force 1, Air Max 95, and Converse Weapon Low.
In classic Whitake Group fashion, the collection is accompanied by a short film starring industry heavyweights like Union’s Chris Gibbs, Awake NY’s Angelo Baque, and celebrated designers Jae Tips and Frank Cooke. “We are incredibly excited to unveil this special collection, it is an incredible honor to create alongside all three brands – Nike, Jordan Brand and Converse all standing united behind our mission and vision,” said Whitner. The highly anticipated second Air Jordan 3 colorway will kick off the collection and release via AMM online and in-store. It comes in a black and Violet Ore colorway and features premium suede and leather details. A matching apparel collection will be unveiled at a later time.
The raffle is now open for the A Ma Maniére Air Jordan 3 “W.Y.W.S” on the A Ma Maniére website. The A Ma Maniére Air Jordan 3 “W.Y.W.S” then officially launch on 8.20 at 11AM EST exclusively on amamaniere.com, and at all A Ma Maniére locations during regular business hours, while supplies last. The A Ma Maniére Air Jordan 3 “W.Y.W.S.” is priced at $225 with sizing ranging from W5/M3.5 – W16.5/M15.
