Story-Driven Sneaker Launches

A Ma Maniére Introduces the ‘While You Were Sleeping’ Collection

A Ma Maniére is commemorating its 10th anniversary with an extraordinary celebration. The highlight of this celebration is a curated collection of six exclusive sneakers, each embodying the luxury and craftsmanship synonymous with A-Ma Maniére.

The collection's debut is scheduled for August 20. It will feature the A-Ma Maniére x Air Jordan 3 “W.Y.W.S.,” a design that exudes style through its fine mauve suede, sleek black leather, and luxuriously quilted interior. This sneaker celebrates A Ma Maniére's decade-long journey and highlights the brand’s commitment to blending high fashion with athletic wear.

In addition to the footwear launch, A-Ma Maniére will further enhance the celebration with a short film directed by the Turner Brothers. The film will be released in theaters shortly and promises to be a visual feast that complements the luxury and exclusivity of the sneaker collection.
