A Ma Maniére Announces Release Date for Its Air Jordan 2 "Airness" Collaboration
The brand supports the reveal with its “Your Airness” short film that features a spoken word poem by Kyla Lacey.
Brands under The Whitaker Group umbrella have redefined what it means to tell effective stories and create with purpose in the space of streetwear and footwear, especially A Ma Maniére which has just officially announced its next project with Jordan Brand. The A Ma Maniére x Air Jordan 2 “Airness” — which serves as a follow-up to the imprint’s Air Jordan 1 and Air Jordan 3 collaborations — has been circulating around the Internet for several months now, but we finally have a detailed look at the luxurious kicks.
Coinciding with the announcement is a captivating short film titled “Your Airness” which is narrated by spoken word artist Kyla Lacey. Her powerful poem encourages everyone to not only recognize their “Airness” but to embrace it, especially during times of turmoil, and this serves as the ethos of the entire team-up.
In the same vein as the aforementioned collabs, AMM decides to take a more elevated approach with its AJ 2 installment. Most of the upper is grayed out and formed with cracked leather, and this is complemented by stark black laces, tongue logos and quilted interior lining. Heel pieces are styled with burgundy molds and branded with “Maniére” box logos. Rounding things out are the midsoles which has been outfitted with blacked-out snakeskin patterns.
Check out the short film here below, and look for these to drop exclusively via A Ma Maniére come May 13.
