James Whitner’s The Whitaker Group has been one of Nike and Jordan Brand’s favorite collaborators in recent years, specifically through the brand’s luxury arm, A Ma Maniere. But after years of muted colorways and classic Jordans in stone greys and purples, The Whitaker Group is making more colorful moves in 2026, including this new pack of Nike V5 RNR colorways.
The Whitaker Group x Nike V5 RNR Pack features seven colorways of the mesh and leather retro runner, two for Jaide, A Ma Maniere, and Social Status, and a single pair for APB. Each pair uses color palettes often associated with that specific retailer, such as Jaide's use of light emerald green and feminine tones, while A Ma Maniere uses the signature light violet ore shade throughout.

In addition to the V5 RNR colorways on the way, A Ma Maniere is dropping a pack of Air Force 1s in a Skittles six-pack of yellow, red, blue, and green, along with two shades of muted purple. So far, it feels like this is the year that The Whitaker Group collabs step out of the earth tone color palette and into the rainbow.
The Whitaker Group x Nike V5 RNR Pack will be released Spring 2026 through A Ma Maniere, Nike, and select retailers in-store and online. Available in unisex sizing, the retail price on the pack is set at $95. For all the latest The Whitaker Group x Nike collab news, download the Sole Retriever mobile app.
