A few months ago, I told you in an article (available HERE) about the latest collaboration between the Atlanta shop A MA MANIERE and Jordan Brand. It’s on the mythical Jordan 1 High that the two partners have let their imagination run free.
Having been able to buy it at the resell, I suggest you to discover it in pictures on my feet.
The shoe has an elegant and refined look. The traditional leather upper has been replaced by white Sail cracked leather with matching overlays. This base is enhanced by dark Bordeaux elements, such as the side Swoosh and snakeskin pattern collar, as well as the padded inner lining, insole and Wings logo on the ankle. Co-branding adorns the Sail suede tongue, but each in a very different style. The famous « Nike Air » remains classic and appears in burgundy on a black background, while A Ma Manière is written in black cursive on the lower white part of the tongue label. To affirm the collab, a branding label with the words « Airness by A Ma Maniere for Air Jordan » is sewn onto the insole. The look is completed with dark burgundy laces, a vintage light pink midsole and a dark burgundy rubber outsole.
Hidden on the inside of the Wings is the added bonus of an inspirational quote from Michael Jordan: « You have to expect things of yourself before you can do them ».
I was pleasantly surprised to receive a pair of leather shoes. Indeed, I bought it while being septic on this Jordan 1 that I thought in clear suede (So ultra dirty). Its minimalist off-white side enhanced by touches of purple has excited me. The quality and finishes are good on my pair. You will have understood, I validate in 100% this collaboration.
