A Ma Maniére's New Nike Collaboration: A Colorful Take on a Sneaky Success
The Whitaker Group's A Ma Maniére, renowned for its thoughtful sneaker collaborations, is set to release its most colorful sneakers yet in a collaboration with Nike. The upcoming A Ma Maniére x Nike V5 Rnr duo features two unique colorways: Light Carbon/Desert Khaki/Fig/Aviator Gray and Light Violet Ore/Jade Horizon/Mink Brown/Violet Ore. These styles showcase metallic synthetic paneling across pastel-based color combinations, without incorporating any outward A Ma Maniére branding, except for the store's logo on the insole.
The V5 Rnr model, inspired by the 2000s, has become a sneaky success for Nike due to its affordability and on-trend aesthetics. By stripping the shoe of tech like Zoom Air and using a fully foam midsole, Nike was able to create a sneaker that competes with similarly priced models. The Whitaker Group is also launching five additional V5 Rnr SKUs across its stores, with Social Status, Jaide women's store, and APB releasing their own versions of the shoe.
Each pair in the A Ma Maniére x Nike V5 Rnr and the wider The Whitaker Group collection will retail for $95. The collection is set to arrive at each respective store during spring 2026, marking a significant departure from A Ma Maniére's signature palette of muddied earth tones and offering a colorful alternative for sneaker enthusiasts.
