First Looks // A Ma Maniére x Nike Air Max 95

The collaboration between luxury streetwear imprint A Ma Maniére and Nike Sportswear has taken an unexpected turn with the unveiling of the A Ma Maniére x Nike Air Max 95.

This partnership, premiered by Sneaker Freaker at Paris Fashion Week 2024, underscores the seamless blend of high fashion and streetwear sensibilities.

This special edition of the Air Max 95 is a masterpiece of understated elegance, true to A Ma Maniére's signature style. The sneaker is bathed in a sophisticated palette of grey tones, a choice that brings a chic and versatile aesthetic to the iconic silhouette. The design is further enhanced with zigzag stitching and strategic perforations across the panels, adding both visual interest and improved breathability.

Branding is key in any collaboration, and A Ma Maniére ensures its presence is felt. The brand's logo is tastefully placed on the tongues and the lateral forefoot, marking the sneaker as a bona fide collaborative piece. But it's not just about looks; functionality is also a high priority. Reflective 3M detailing on the tongues and heel tabs enhances visibility and adds a dynamic element to the overall design. The sole unit of the sneaker is particularly noteworthy. It features a dual-tone rubber composition that houses the iconic visible Air Max units, providing both comfort and a striking aesthetic.

Of course, this isn't the only big-name link-up on the Air Max 95 for 2024, with Stash rumored to rekindle his collaboration on the silhouette later this year.

The first of three colorways expected for rollout over the next 12 months, the release for the A Ma Maniére x Nike Air Max 95 "Dark Violet Ore" is expected to take place over the Holiday 2024 season, folloed by an effort in "Black" for Spring 2025, and "Diffused Taupe" in Summer 2025.
