James Whitner's A Ma Maniere continues to make waves in the sneaker world through its impactful collaborations with Nike. Known for merging luxury aesthetics with streetwear elements, A Ma Maniere has delivered some of the most coveted releases in recent years. This partnership is set to continue in Spring 2025 with the release of another Air Max 95, which follows up on the brand’s successful Holiday 2024 Air Max 95 drop, and preceding the Summer 2025 release.
After Sole Retriever confirmed this upcoming pair last year, images of this Black Violet Ore colorway have appeared. Like the last pair, premium materials envelope the entire upper, including tumbled leather, perforated suede, smooth leather, and smooth suede. Black leather lands on the toecap and runs along the bottom half of the wavy paneled upper, separated from the violet ore, blue, and green-tinted suede panels by black zig-zag stitching.
