A Ma Maniére marks its 10-year anniversary with the release of the Air Force 1 Low “While You Were Sleeping,” a standout addition to its six-shoe celebratory collection. Known for blending luxurious craftsmanship with streetwear sensibilities, A Ma Maniére reimagines the classic Air Force 1 silhouette, creating a design that honors its journey while setting the stage for what’s to come.
Luxurious Craftsmanship Meets Iconic Design
The Air Force 1 Low in this collection is a showcase of premium materials and thoughtful detailing. The upper features leather in Diffused Taupe, a soft, neutral tone that radiates understated sophistication. Layered Swooshes in Anthracite, Phantom, and Light Iron Ore add dimension, while a tinted outsole elevates the design with a modern finish. Inside, jacquard lining adorned with A Ma Maniére’s signature pattern offers both comfort and a nod to the brand’s attention to detail. Every element, from the co-branded tongue and heel to the embossed midsole branding, underscores the brand’s commitment to refined aesthetics.
Collaborative Storytelling
This release is part of A Ma Maniére’s broader “While You Were Sleeping” campaign, a six-shoe collection that includes collaborations with Nike, Jordan line, and Converse. The collection’s title reflects the brand’s dedication to storytelling.
Founder James Whitner expressed the significance of this collaboration, emphasizing the brand’s mission to deliver meaningful designs rooted in authenticity. The Air Force 1 Low stands out in this lineup as a reinterpretation of an icon, balancing A Ma Maniére’s luxurious ethos with the cultural relevance of the AF1.
Details That Redefine the Classic
The traditional perforations on the toe box have been rearranged into a triple “A” pattern, reflecting the brand’s initials and adding an unexpected twist to the familiar silhouette. The usual “Air” branding on the midsole has been replaced with “A Ma Maniére,” reinforcing the exclusivity of this collaboration. Metallic lace dubraes and co-branded insoles further enhance the sense of craftsmanship.
Exclusive Packaging and Presentation
Every detail of the Air Force 1 Low “W.Y.W.S.” has been considered, down to its packaging. The sneaker comes in a commemorative shoebox designed to reflect the brand’s journey over the past decade. This special-edition packaging adds an extra layer of exclusivity, making the release feel as celebratory as it is refined.
Scheduled for release on November 29, 2024, the Air Force 1 ’07 x A Ma Maniére will be available at A Ma Maniére’s stores, select retailers, and online for $150.
