The A Ma Maniére x Air Jordan 2 "Airness" Has Finally Been Officially Unveiled

After taking on the AJ1 and the AJ3, James Whitner and his talented team are now going full circle with the official unveiling of the A Ma Maniére x Air Jordan 2 "Airness". A sneaker that we first caught a glimpse of all the way back in January, this has got to be one of the cleanest collaborations this year - and we finally have a release date!

Blurring the line between a piece of footwear and a piece of art, the "Airness" features a subtly cracked leather upper that offers up a vintage vibe. "Burgundy" accents from the aforementioned Air Jordan 1 add a pop of contrast to the Air Jordan 2, while the quilted interiors of the Air Jordan 3 also play a massive role here.

Black waxed laces add an aura of luxury to the sneaker, and "Maniére" box logos around the heel cement the collaboration. To round it all off, the conventionally all-white Nike Air midsole has been completely blacked out, and it's been infused with a snakeskin-inspired effect that adds to the opulent experience.

Accompanying this AJ2 is the release of the short film "Your Airness" which is narrated by spoken word artist Kyla Lacey. Encouraging viewers to not only recognise their “Airness” but to embrace it especially during times of turmoil, you can check it out right here.

Now time for that all-important release date. The A Ma Maniére x Air Jordan 2 "Airness" is set to launch next month on June 1st via SNKRS and select retailers.
