A Ma Maniére x Nike Air Max 95 While You Were Sleeping

Going viral after being snapped up at Paris Fashion Week F/W 2024, A Ma Maniére’s Air Max journey is clearly a project that sneakerheads want to see. While a flood of new products and runway images are coming out as a result of those seven days in Paris, only a few pieces of footwear are lucky enough to catch the attention of the general public, which in this case is the AMM x Air Max 95. Following leaked images of the AJ4 “Phantom,” along with this A Ma Maniére x Nike Air Max 95 , there’s a strong indication that we could see the Whitner-led brand adopt a lighter palette for the remainder of 2024.

Embracing the AM95 ’s signature overlay , this edition complements the sleek mauve hues with a focus on less layering thanks to a heavy zig-zag stitching that covers the panel’s edges. This removes the hard, bulky profile that tends to dominate the 95’s sidewall, fitting with the formal aesthetic Whitner has instilled in his Jordan collaborations . The tight mesh around the laces has also been replaced, opting instead for a super-soft leather, toning down the silhouette’s original sportiness.

Co-branding comes in the form of a laser-etched spell on the toe box, while the spine features a 3M “A” heel tab, a detail that further elevates the silhouette’s profile. Of course, the mini Swoosh under the ankle collar remains, a key feature that would be a shame to remove and a vital part of the shoe’s DNA.
