Later this year, A Ma Maniére will release an Air Jordan 4 for the third time.
The Atlanta-based boutique and arm of the Whitaker Group has been a steady Jordan Brand partner since 2019, beginning with the release of a collaborative Proto Max 720. Its first Air Jordan came in 2021 with an Air Jordan 3, and a prolific series has since grown to include several editions of Air Jordan 1, Air Jordan 3, Air Jordan 4, Air Jordan 5 and Air Jordan 12. But because of the model’s popularity on its own, it should come as no surprise that A Ma Maniére‘s Air Jordan 4s have been some of its most heralded Air Jordan collaborations.
Below, Footwear News takes you through the history of A Ma Maniére’s Air Jordan 4 collaborations.
A Ma Maniére x Air Jordan 4 “Violet Ore”
Release date: Nov. 23, 2022
Price: $225
Sku: DV6773-220
A Ma Maniére’s first Air Jordan 4 collaboration was its fourth overall Air Jordan release, not coming quite sequentially but following, in order, its Air Jordan 3, Air Jordan 1 and Air Jordan 2. It was the first to deviate from a primarily white (or off-white) color scheme, and came with dusty purple nubuck upper with metal pins, AMM branding on the right tongue and special insole marks. As part of its wider civic efforts, A Ma Maniére used the sneaker’s campaign to encourage voting in the 2022 midterm elections.
“We have always stated that what we do is about more than sneakers,” James Whitner said in a press release. “While we have the anticipation and attention of the world on our next Jordan Brand project, it’s our responsibility to use our platform to ensure people — especially young people — show up to the polls and use their voice, use their vote and ask for the country to reflect their values….So while we have your attention — please vote, help someone get to the polls, volunteer in your community and speak up about the issues that are top of mind for you. The future belongs to you — take action.”

Release date: Sept. 20, 2024
Price: $225
Sku: FZ4810-200
A Ma Maniére’s second Air Jordan 4 came as part of a massive capsule celebrating the boutique’s 10th anniversary and the only collection outside of Off-White’s to feature Nike, Jordan Brand and Converse. A faint purplish-white was used for the nubuck and suede upper, and the same mismatched tongue branding as before came as violet metal badges. Quilted lining, too, made a return.
The “While You Were Sleeping” campaign celebrated the power and influence of culture and included a short film that screened in five American cities.
