A Ma Maniére x Air Jordan 3 “Raised By Women” Global Release Date 

A Ma Maniére‘s Air Jordan 3 “Raised by Women” is set for an international release at European and APAC retailers in June after dropping in the US in April. A trendy early pick for Jordan Brand‘s best collaborative sneaker of 2021, the A Ma Maniére x Air Jordan 3 “Raised By Women” is centered around two main pillars: an ultra-clean color scheme and a powerful, meaningful backstory inspired by Black women.

Air Jordan fanatics are probably familiar with the AMM AJ 3’s design by now, but key points for those less familiar involve elephant print-less gray suede mudguards, artfully yellowed detailing that contrasts with an elegant mauve on the midsole, special branding on the tongue and a quilted silver satin collar lining. Beneath the Nike Air-adorned heel tabs, there’s even special printed messages from A Ma Maniére founder James Whitner‘s mother, written in her handwriting. 

Whitner stated that “By making [the Air Jordan 3 and its matching apparel] luxurious, this collection is something anyone can play into. The primary purpose was to make something for women to get really excited about, but also something dope that the fellas would want. [A Ma Maniére] is rooted in a luxury street experience, and we’re really attuned to that ethos — which enables us to design freely, without overthinking.”

The A Ma Maniére x Air Jordan 3 “Raised By Women” is set to release on global Nike SNKRS outposts and select retailers coming May 22. Its retail price is set at $200.
