Becoming one of the sneaker scene's best collaborators, James Whitner’s boutique, A Ma Maniére, has generated buzz with every sneaker they get a chance to work on, already working on the Air Jordan 1 through 3. As the rumor mill was buzzing about a possible Air Jordan 12 collaboration, Whitner made an appearance on the Complex Sneakers Podcast to showcase one of the two colorways of the A Ma Maniére x Air Jordan 12.
Coming to us in a stealthy all-black and crisp all-white, the silhouette gets accented by the color of choice for A Ma Maniére as of late, burgundy crush. Across the entire upper, premium nubuck runs back from the toebox to the heel, accented by a burgundy-shaded nappy suede overlay with snakeskin leather leading to the Jumpman text around the midfoot. Running up the nubuck tongue is a set of black wax laces, housed within two metallic eyestays near the collar. Back on the heel, a nylon pull tab in black runs down the heel with Jordan branding embroidered atop. Underfoot, the AJ 12 midsole on the black pair gets covered in a shade of brown while an all-white on the white pair is completed by a matching rubber outsole with silver Jumpman branding present on the toe.
Both colorways of the A Ma Maniére x Air Jordan 12 Retro were originally scheduled to release on November 17th, 2022 through A Ma Maniére, Nike, and select retailers online and in-store. However, they were delayed, with the "Black" pair releasing on February 24th, 2023 exclusively through AMM with a wider drop to follow on March 2nd, 2023 via SNKRS and select Jordan Brand retailers The "White" pair will remain an A Ma Maniere exclusive, releasing on March 2nd, 2023. For the black colorway, the pair will come in women’s, PS, and TD sizing while the white pair will only release in women’s sizing. Women's pairs will retail for $225.
