A Ma Maniére x Air Jordan 12

Updated: Feb 22, 2023

Fire and Power.

Storytelling is not a lost art, it is not lost upon James Whitner, A Ma Maniére, The Whitaker Group and Jordan Brand. Since embarking on this journey in 2021, the storefront has created wonderment and instilled deeper meaning behind the product that influences the stories told. From tales of airness to being raised by women, to the bold and powerfully forging statement that, she is the blueprint; the A Ma Maniére story is still being written. The next chapter is set to unfold and contained within its pages is royalty and luxury. Fire and power. Grace and triumph.

The Air Jordan 12 holds an unique place among the Air Jordan signature line. It is not only the silhouette in which MJ captured title no. 5, but it is one that is of lore – from the "Flu Game" to its Japanese derived inspiration in the creation of the silhouette, to the recognizable metal eyelets – added for a luxurious touch. And it is now the next in the A Ma Maniére collaborative story.

Two rich and supple color palettes are set to release. The first, sporting a black nubuck base and textured, fuzzy suede mudgard dipped in a burgundy hue. And the second, a white leather motif, armed with a velvet-like smooth suede mudguard in a slightly more wine-like tone. The left tongue's Jumpman has been replaced a metal A Ma Maniére logo, while the right tongue maintains the Jumpman but also features a metal upgrade. And as to be expected with A Ma Maniére drops, a quilted leather inner lining.

The 'Black' Air Jordan 12 Retro will release on February 24th, while the 'White' Air Jordan 12 Retro will launch on March 2nd. The apparel rollout will also occur in February as well.
