Fine materials and earthy tones come together on this Jordan 3 Retro SP x A Ma Maniére to create a dapper sneaker. Made for women but also designed to be appealing to men, it was featured in a short film entitled Raised by Women, which is also the shoe’s nickname. The movie depicts different women doing their everyday jobs while the narrator reads a message of appreciation to them over the top. Likewise, the sneaker was made in honor of women, with particular inspiration being taken from A Ma Maniére owner James Whitner’s mother, who bought him an Air Jordan 3 when he was a child.

Many of the shoe’s features have been altered in some way, but the design of its outsole remains true to the original, with the same blocky sections around the edge, here in Medium Grey, and a darker gray cone-shaped piece filled with ringed grip formations below the forefoot. A white section shows up beneath the heel and medial edge, dark gray Nike branding residing in its center. Above the star-shaped protrusions lining the front of the outsole, the toe is capped with white rubber. Meanwhile, the rest of the midsole is arranged into two layers of polyurethane – a lower one in a cream tone that has a clear window in the heel to show off the shoe’s comfortable pocket of Air cushioning, and an upper piece whose front half is white and whose back section encompasses the heel with a thick band of Violet Ore.

Elsewhere, the upper is made up of white tumbled leather through its mudguard and the main overlay that stretches from the forefoot to the heel panel. Dashing Medium Grey overlays shaped using luxurious suede sit at the toe and heel, the latter arcing downwards around the back of the foot to allow space for the large heel panel. This component has a cream-colored exterior that has thick lines embossed onto its top half to provide a comfortable place for the wearer to grip when they pull the shoe on. Its bottom half then comes in with raised Medium Grey Nike Air branding for a smooth tonal contrast.

More Medium Grey suede encircles the collar and highlights the top part of the eyestay. Here, cream TPU semi-circles form a set of eyelets on each side of the white leather tongue, with another pair set into the front of the collar. At the other end, the main overlay of the upper cuts over the gray suede, with five creamy ringlets pressed into each side to offer eyelets for the laces to thread through all the way to the bottom of the tongue. Its peak has been adorned with an embroidered Medium Grey Jumpman silhouette on the right foot and A Ma Maniére’s distinctive “A” logo on the left. The Violet Ore insoles host the same branding effects on the opposite feet, this time printed in white, and the inner lining is coated in a satin quilt that softly caresses the foot.

In addition to this unique design, this sneaker contains a series of one-of-a-kind details that could easily be missed at first glance. One of these is the Work Harder text printed in capital letters onto the aglets at the end of the laces. Then, on the underside of the heel tab, each shoe conceals a different empowering message – the left reads “All we have is each other”, while the right says “You have to get comfortable walking alone”, both in a handwritten font that represents the culmination of this incredible collaborative sneaker.
