A Ma Maniére Reveal a Swooshed-Up Friends and Family Converse Chuck 70
A Ma Maniére have added a surprise silhouette to their 'While You Were Sleeping' line up, as they revealed a Friends and Family AMM x Nike x Converse Chuck 70, solidifying the connections made in the capsule collection. Most notably, the Chucks sport a Swoosh – marking the first time this has been done in an official capacity – and something that Virgil Abloh had wanted to add to the Converse colab that formed part of his initial 'The Ten' collection. Pairs were given to friends of the brand over dinner, with only 100 pairs rumoured to have been produced in total. There's currently no sign of them releasing to the public, but you can grab a detailed look at them here.
A Ma Maniére are celebrating their 10th anniversary with the release of a film titled While You Were Sleeping. The film explores the challenges faced by minority creatives, tackling themes like cultural exploitation and the relentless drive for artistic freedom. Directed by the award-winning Turner brothers, Julien and Justen Turner, the film introduces the Creative Resource Agency (CRA), a fictional entity imposing a ‘Black Tax’ on influential minority creatives. The cast features a lineup of influential figures across various creative industries, including Jae Tips, Nina Chanel, Hebru Brantley, Chris Gibbs, Angelo Baque, and many others.
A Ma Maniére’s film While You Were Sleeping will make its debut in London on December 12, followed by screenings in five U.S. cities the following week. For more information on release dates and tickets, head over to A Ma Maniére’s website.
A Ma Maniére's 'While You Were Sleeping' capsule has been nothing short of a sneakerhead's dream, and now the retail powerhouse is looking to bring things to a close with the last instalment of the series. The last silhouette to land is the Converse Weapon – this marks the brand's first-ever collaboration with Converse so expect it to get the full AMM treatment with a luxe leather build and tonal mauve accents, as well as quilted liners and co-branded tongue tabs. Pairs will also arrive in a special-edition collector's box and come packaged-up with three lace options.
The A Ma Maniére x Converse Weapon 'W.Y.W.S' will be rounding out the capsule on December 4 via AMM's channels. Stay locked for more retailer info as it comes in.

The September 20 release of the coveted A Ma Maniére x AJ4 is looming closer, and AMM are not easing up on the teasers for those eagerly waiting. Releasing a short video showing members of the 'creative rebellion' bringing stock of the AJ4 into stores across America, AMM are reiterating their campaign message of 'creating at all costs'.

A Ma Maniére have revealed the details of their next W.Y.W.S silhouette, confirming that the pack's Air Jordan 4 will touch down on September 20. The AMM x AJ4 once again features a premium construction, with the shoe coming peppered with thoughtful details that nod to the collection's theme. Suede uppers arrive in pale pink tones, while rich 'Berry Crush' hues saturate the liners and tinge the accents. Peep a look at the pair below and get ready for them to drop at A Ma Maniére.
The team behind A Ma Maniére don’t sleep, but they get a lot done while everyone else does. The James Whitner-owned behemoth is celebrating its 10th anniversary this year, and as expected, they’ve gone all out on the celebratory collection. Alongside the recently revealed Air Jordan 3 and leaked Air Jordan 4 that surfaced over the past few months, the Whitaker Group will be dropping a selection of silhouettes that span Nike, Jordan and Converse – and they’re the first Swoosh collaborators to do so since Virgil Abloh’s 'The Ten'.
The group have now revealed all of the silhouettes that will come as part of the collection, which includes the Air Jordan 3, 4 and 39, the Converse Weapon, and the Nike Air Force 1. An Air Max 95 similar to the one spotted by Sneaker Freaker at Paris Fashion Week back in January has also made the cut, although this version comes with a darker-toned sole unit. Each pair stay's true to AMM's signature aesthetic, boasting tonal 'Violet Ore' colour palettes.
Speaking on the collection, James Whitner said: ‘We are incredibly excited to unveil this special collection, it is an incredible honor to create alongside all three brands - Nike, Jordan Brand and Converse all standing united behind our mission and vision. To continue to tell our stories with these iconic silhouettes and the ‘While You Were Sleeping” short film - our most ambitious story yet at this important milestone, we can’t wait for the world to immerse themselves in the full experiences we have planned. This is our way to show our gratitude for the unwavering support from all of you through the years - you are all part of our history, these are a testament to our shared commitment to excellence, and this story is for you.’
