A Ma Maniére’s 10-year anniversary collection will continue next week with the release of its highly anticipated Air Jordan 4.
The A Ma Maniére x Air Jordan 4 “While You Were Sleeping” comes as part of six sneakers spread across Nike, Jordan Brand and Converse. Continuing with the theme of hazy colors, the Air Jordan 4 is dressed in sand-colored premium suedes with soft and shaggy finishes. Black accents include the heel stabilizer, toe and heel portions of the outsole and branding on the tongue and heel. The model’s original “Nike Air” mark appears on the mustache, while the tongues are mismatched with the Jumpman and A Ma Maniére’s logo. An off white midsole matches the laces, which feature translucent tips with the words “Work” and “Harder.”
The Air Jordan 4 will be the third sneaker from the collection thus far, following an Air Jordan 3 and Air Jordan 39 from August. Still to come are Nike’s Air Force 1 Low and Air Max 95, as well as the Converse Weapon Low. The collection makes A Ma Maniére the first brand since Off-White to work with all three Nike properties for a single project.
“While You Were Sleeping” is also the name of a short film made by A Ma Maniére that will screen in theaters this fall across the world. Among the cast for the short directed by brothers Julien and Justen Turner are streetwear and sneaker luminaries Chris Gibbs of Union LA, Angelo Baque of Awake NY and Nina Chanel Abney.
Alongside the Air Jordan 4, A Ma Maniére will release the first range of apparel for the “While You Were Sleeping” collection — comprising Jordan Brand hoodies, T-shirts, knit shirts, shorts and outerwear. The A Ma Maniére x Air Jordan 4 “While You Were Sleeping” and accompanying apparel will release September 20 through A Ma Maniére’s website and stores. Pricing for the sneakers is set at $225, while the apparel runs from $55 to $300.
