Nike’s commitment to James Whitner and his The Whitaker Group storefronts remains unwavering, even with Whitner being named in a money laundering investigation. In the latest addition to their esteemed collaborative efforts, A Ma Maniere and Jordan Brand present a new chapter in their Air Jordan saga with the unveiling of the Air Jordan 3 Retro in a Black Violet Ore colorway, exclusively for women. This release follows the success of the original A Ma Maniere AJ3 and will be launching alongside another AJ3 in Summit White. On top of the Jordan 3, another project on the Jordan 4 is in the works.
Set against a canvas of rich, black tumbled leather, this AJ3 features violet ore accents that provide a luxurious contrast, exuding elegance and sophistication. The use of perforated nubuck on the collar and eyestays introduces a layer of depth and texture, further emphasized by the violet ore hue that extends to the nubuck tongue, adorned with either a Jumpman logo or A Ma Maniere's distinct "A" branding. Departing from the traditional elephant print, this iteration opts for premium hairy suede on the mudguard and heel overlays, enhancing the sneaker's premium feel and aesthetic. The design is completed with a black and sail midsole, coupled with a violet ore rubber outsole, marrying classic elements with modern craftsmanship.
The A Ma Maniere x Air Jordan 3 Retro OG SP Black Violet Ore will release on July 18, 2024, through A Ma Maniere, Nike SNKRS, and select online and in-store retailers. Available in women’s sizing, the sneaker will retail for $250. Stay tuned to the Sole Retriever mobile app for the latest updates, ensuring you don't miss out on this and other exciting releases, raffles, and sneaker news.
