A Ma Maniére, the renowned Atlanta-based boutique, has unveiled its latest collaboration with Nike, reimagining the iconic Air Max 95 as part of the “While You Were Sleeping” collection. This release marks a significant milestone for A Ma Maniére, as it celebrates the boutique’s 10th anniversary and its first-ever work on the Air Max 95 silhouette.
The A Ma Maniére x Nike Air Max 95 “Dark Violet Ore” showcases an unprecedented level of craftsmanship and attention to detail. The upper features a sophisticated blend of leather and nubuck that elevates the sneaker’s classic design to new heights of luxury. The shoe’s signature gradient pattern has been reimagined with a color palette that transitions from light purple to deep burgundy to black, creating a visually striking effect.
One of the most notable aspects of this collaboration is the variety of textures incorporated into the design. The panels that flow along the lateral and medial sidewalls feature an array of finishes, including perforated, smooth and pebbled leather. These different textures are meticulously stitched together, reminiscent of high-end dress shoes, further emphasizing the premium nature of this release.
A Ma Maniére’s attention to detail extends to the finer points of the sneaker. The boutique’s branding is subtly embroidered on the toe box, with additional logos on the tongue and insoles. To enhance visibility and style in low light conditions, 3M reflective accents have been strategically placed throughout the shoe.
The While You Were Sleeping collection is not limited to the Air Max 95. It also includes other highly anticipated releases such as an Air Jordan 4 and an Air Force 1, all designed to commemorate A Ma Maniére’s decade-long journey in the fashion and sneaker industry.
Mark your calendars for October 25, 2024 when the A Ma Maniére x Nike Air Max 95 “Dark Violet Ore” will be released. The sneaker will be available at A Ma Maniére, The Whitaker Group stores and Nike.com with a retail price of $190 USD in men’s sizes.
