A Ma Maniére is the latest to join forces with Jordan Brand as the two whip up a new iteration of the Air Jordan 3 sneaker model for the season. The silhouette was remixed by the two back in 2021 -- it boasted an aged white palette and the latest update has a darker tone.
The new version of the Air Jordan 3 is defined by its pebbly texture and dark greyscale colorway palette. What is borrowed from the last collaboration is the use of suede materials adorning the toe and heel unit in a place where the iconic elephant print is usually found. These sections are detailed by a grey hue and pewter perforations accent the collar and detail the laces.
