Air Jordan & A Ma Maniére Celebrate Timeless Luxury With Their AJ1  

Atlanta-based A Ma Maniére has partnered with Air Jordan many times before, with each release adhering to a formula: the approach, just like the boutique’s curation and interior designs, must be luxurious and timeless, with a strong focus on premium materials and intricate detailing.

Cracked Leather Uppers

Channeling that, the two extend their ongoing partnership, this time turning their attention to the iconic Air Jordan 1. The shoe is elevated with James Whitner’s eye for meticulous details and unconventional materials, with the uppers transformed using off-white cracked leather and burgundy, snakeskin-patterned overlays.

Michael Jordan’s quote, “You have to expect things yourself before you can do them”, is worked into the ankle flaps, too, to nod to the political messaging that underpins A Ma Maniére.
