In case you missed it, A Ma Maniére recently launched an impressive six-shoe collection in collaboration with Nike Inc. to celebrate its 10th anniversary. This collection, titled “While You Were Sleeping,” is associated with an upcoming film and various marketing efforts sharing the same name. It’s noteworthy as the largest collaboration of its kind since Virgil Abloh’s iconic “The 10” collection, spanning all three Beaverton brands: Nike, Converse, and Jordan. The release schedule hints at a series of staggered launches, with the next highly anticipated drop being the A Ma Maniére x Jordan 3 set to arrive on August 20th.

James Whitner’s brand is known for generating substantial demand for its products, and the A Ma Maniére x Nike Inc. collaboration will certainly follow suit. The AMM x Jordan 3 “Raised By Women,” released in 2021, marked A Ma Maniére’s inaugural collaboration with Jordan Brand and turned out to be one of the year’s most sought-after sneakers, laying the groundwork for a series of successful partnerships that have captured enthusiasts’ attention.

Returning to the AJ3 silhouette, the “While You Were Sleeping” edition reflects A Ma Maniére’s modern aesthetic, featuring a palette of deep colors complemented by high-quality materials. The upper blends shades of black with “Violet Ore,” the latter elegantly highlighted on the perforated suede of the tongue and eyelets. A unique hairy suede replaces the traditional elephant print around the toe and heel, rendered in “Flat Pewter” grey, while a cream midsole and “Nike Air” branding at the heel harmonize with the lace set. Additionally, the collar of this design is slightly narrower than standard Jordan 3s, offering a sleeker profile. Just like its predecessor, the AMM Jordan 3 is finished with a luxurious patterned satin lining, enhancing its overall elegance.

As previously mentioned, the A Ma Maniére x Jordan 3 “While You Were Sleeping” will be available on August 20th at a retail price of $225. The collection will feature an extensive range of women’s sizes (5W/3.5M to 16.5W/15M), consistent with most of AMM’s collaborations with Nike Inc. To secure a chance at owning a pair, you can enter the EQL raffle through A Ma Maniére’s website before the launch date. While there has been no mention of a release on Nike SNKRS at this time, the situation has the potential to change. Additionally, keep an eye out for possible exclusive access tied to the brand’s “While You Were Sleeping” film upon its release. Be sure to stay tuned as we continue to explore A Ma Maniére’s 10th anniversary collection in the months to come.

    Official Release Date for the Jordan Tatum 3 “Zen”

    The Boston Celtics’ season is unfolding just as they had envisioned, with only one loss to report and a striking 30 points per game average from their star player, Jayson Tatum.

    After a more eventful off-season than what championship teams typically endure, Tatum and his Boston teammates have skillfully tuned out distractions, staying focused on their goal of repeating their success early in the season. In line with this theme, the upcoming #0 Jordan Tatum 3 is about to launch a “Zen” colorway that embodies this same sense of tranquility.

    The motif of serenity has been a consistent element in Jayson Tatum’s sneaker line, especially highlighted by the “Vortex” version of the Tatum 2, which explicitly connects to this theme: our previous coverage noted that the design reflects Tatum’s calm demeanor, reminiscent of the peacefulness found in a vortex above water.

    While this new model opts for a more subdued color palette, its execution remains true to that original concept; the graceful cut-outs in the upper design resemble calm waters, serving as a guiding inspiration throughout Tatum’s signature collection.

    As mentioned earlier, the Jordan Tatum 3 “Zen” is set to launch on November 14th via Nike.com, available in sizes for the whole family. The adult versions will be priced at $125.

    For a closer look at this appealing colorway, check out the official images below, and make sure to keep an eye on our Sneakers page for updates.

    Jason Kelce’s Field Goal Attempt In Timberlands Will End In A $100,000 Donation

    This Saturday, November 2nd, Jason Kelce will take on a field goal challenge while wearing Wheat Timbs during the ESPN College GameDay broadcast of the highly anticipated Penn State vs. Ohio State matchup. The idea for this challenge originated when college student Daniel Villasenor successfully kicked a field goal in Vans checkerboard slip-ons, winning an impressive $100,000 earlier in October.

    Initially discussed on the Kelce brothers’ New Heights podcast with special guest Pat McAfee, this lighthearted challenge quickly evolved into a real event. The NFL legend, Jason Kelce, is set to attempt scoring three points while donning the famous Wheat Timberlands.

    In an exciting twist, VF Corp — the parent company of both Vans and Timberland — has stepped in with a generous $100,000 commitment to the charity Soles4Souls, aimed at supporting hurricane relief efforts. Fortunately for Jason, VF Corp has assured that the funds will be donated regardless of whether his kick is successful or not.

    Make sure to tune in to ESPN College GameDay on November 2nd, 2024, to witness this unique field goal attempt for yourself!
