Revealed by the Swoosh, the premium pair, which we have described via our previous updates below, is accompanied by special hang tags, three sets of laces with “HARDER” text at the aglets and a shoe box that celebrates AMM’s 10th anniversary and points towards additional projects with Nike, likely the Air Max 95s that were teased previously, and Converse as well. Release is set for August 21 via Nike SNKRS, A Ma Maniére and select retailers at a price of $225 USD. Stay tuned for the campaign’s official breakdown as AMM is likely to dive further into the storytelling behind the pair in the coming weeks.

Update: Rumored at the end of February, one of two new A Ma Maniére x Air Jordan 3s have now been spotted. Pictured below in its “Black” colorway, its upper hosts a black leather upper alongside a “Flat Pewter” gray at the suede mudguard and heel counter. From there, “Violet Ore” enters the mix at the collar, tongue and eyestays as an off-white midsole is backed by a gray rubber outsole to complete the brief preview. Release remains anticipated for July 18 in both this “Black” colorway and the “Burgundy Crush” iteration as well. Stay tuned for additional updates, including a closer look at both pairs, and review our initial breakdown below for more info.

Original Story: Between his many business ventures, there’s never a time when James Whitner isn’t in motion. Looking at 2024, this looks to be especially true as his label A Ma Maniére (AMM) has a loaded lineup of collaborations on the way with Jordan Brand. The ball started rolling at Paris Fashion Week in January, where Whitner was spotted in a new AMM x Air Jordan 4, and just days later, an AMM x Nike Air Max 95 surfaced. Shortly thereafter, a rumor of another AMM x Air Jordan 3 popped up and a third AMM x Jordan Air Ship appeared.
Now, word of a second upcoming AMM x Air Jordan 3 release has surfaced courtesy of known leakers zSneakerHeadz and Mr_Unloved1s. Pictured above via mock-up, it utilizes “Black,” “Flat Pewter” and “Violet Oreo” shades, however, its precise placement of the three remains unknown.
At the time of writing, neither A Ma Maniére nor Jordan Brand have confirmed that they have another collaborative project involving the Air Jordan 3 coming. Stay tuned for updates, including a first look, as this “Black” colorway is expected to accompany the “Burgundy Crush” iteration on July 18 via A Ma Maniére, Nike SNKRS and select retailers at a starting price of $250 USD.
