A Ma Maniére is taking a step away from its Air Jordan series with this Nike runner. The AMM team rarely budge from the signature Jordan or Air Max line-up, so giving the Pegasus Premium a co-sign is no small feat (or feet if you’ve got a thing for puns).

The Pegasus Premium has become the Swoosh’s go-to runner for collaborations, and for good reason. From an aesthetic point of view, it’s arguably Nike’s best attempt at the runner-to-lifestyle footwear in a minute. Playing host to other projects such as the recent Melitta Baumeister edition, we have a feeling that this shoe’s collab library is only just getting started.
But what does this mean for the AMM x Jordan series? Well, it's a sign of the times, that's for sure. The Whitaker Group brand has had to recognise the cultural shift in running, pivoting towards the track with these two Pegasus Premiums.
Dropping in two different colourways, this being the “Black Burgundy Crush” and the “Summit White Metallic Silver”, we know a few people in the office who would go toe-to-toe for these. The darker pair is on our personal watchlist, that being the closest signature AMM edition with that burgundy panel tracking along the upper.
Now, that doesn't mean the end of the A Ma Maniére's take on the numbered Jordan series, it just means that its focus has had to shift. Instead of sticking to purely court-based footwear, expect to see an uptick in miles and a lot less euro steps. However, will this divereted focus mean a lack of quality in upcoming Jordan retros, we don't think so...but only time will tell.
But enough about the runner, let’s talk about this AMM collab. “Set against the cultural energy of Texas Southern University, the A Ma Maniére x Nike Pegasus Premium SP reflects Black love in motion through friendship, mentorship, partnership, family, and self. A reflection on how presence is built collectively through movement, care, discipline, and intention”, says the US-based retailer.
That said, the "Summit White Metallic Silver" is just as tasteful. Plus, if you’re the type of person who whips out the lighter colours come summer time, then the AMM x Nike Pegasus Premium SP is well worth considering.
Currently up for raffle on the A Ma Maniére website and other US retailers through to June 2nd, we’ve got our fingers crossed for a UK release in the near future. Until then, it’s best to set up a release reminder while we wait for further updates and let us do the heavy lifting.
