The Air Jordan 3 continues to be a pinnacle of sneaker culture, boasting a rich history of groundbreaking design and deep-rooted connections with basketball heritage. As we edge closer to Spring 2025, Jordan Brand is expanding its collaborative lineup by tapping James Whitner's A Ma Maniere label to work on another Air Jordan 3. This release will complement the Lucky Shorts, Black Cat, Valentine's Day, and GS-exclusive Joker colorways of the Jordan 3.
A Ma Maniere's latest take on the Air Jordan 3 features the upscale design we've come to know and love from the James Whitner-led label. Classic white tumbled leather is placed across its upper, while a key feature from other AMM 3s, the removal of elephant print in favor of suede, is found on the mudguard and heel. More suede finds a home on the middle eyelet and around the collar, while we see pops of diffused blue land on the TPU eyelet, the Nike Air logo on the cream heel tab, and the back portion of the midsole.
A Ma Maniere branding is found via the A embroidered into the tongue, identical to the other AJ3s from the retailer. We also see the same inspiring quote added to the heel tab: "You have to get comfortable walking alone. All we have is each other." The cream and diffused blue midsole finishes the design paired with a tonal rubber outsole.
The A Ma Maniere x Air Jordan 3 Retro OG SP Diffused Blue will release March 29, 2025, through A Ma Maniere. An early access release exclusively for women will take place at A Ma Maniere's storefront on March 22. A Nike SNKRS release is set for April 15, 2025. The retail price is set at $225 in men's sizing. Download the Sole Retriever mobile app for all the latest updates on this release and more in the world of sneakers and streetwear.
