The Whitaker Group has established itself in the sneaker industry for its fascinating storytelling and support toward the Black community.

A Ma Maniere has dominated the collaborative projects at The Whitaker Group, releasing numerous Air Jordan designs over the past 18 months. At an event, the founder of The Whitner Group hinted that A Ma Maniere x Air Jordan 4 will arrive before the end of this year. The Air Jordan 4's pending "Violet Ore" colorway appears to be the sneaker Whitner was talking about.

Jordan Brand highlights the uniqueness of its fourth signature silhouette by mentioning,

“The Air Jordan IV was the first global market release of the franchise. Another first, the shoe appeared in Spike Lee's film Do the Right Thing, transcending the game of basketball to make a significant impact on pop culture. All eyes were on Jordan as he continued to rise.”

The uppers of the new design are entirely constructed using a premium nubuck panels, which are embellished with TPU nettings on the laterals. The entire shoe dons a Violet Ore/Medium Ash-Black-Muslin-Burgundy Crush color scheme.

The winged eye stays surrounding the tongue flaps, and the midfoot areas all feature the same tonal hue, while the Air Jordan 4 Flight tag on top of the tongue flap uses a comparable but slightly different coloration.

The words "It's not about the shoes..." and "It's about where you're going" are split between the left and right shoe, and a metal button with the "A" emblem is visible along the back on the heel areas.

Finalizing the aesthetics is a two-toned midsole and outersole unit placed underneath. While the rubber outer sole unit features a muslin and burgundy crush color scheme, the midsole is coated in black and muslin.


Stay tuned for the upcoming A Ma Maniere x Air Jordan 4 SP "Violet Ore" colorway, which will supposedly hit the sneaker world on November 23, 2022. With an expected price tag of $225 for each pair, find these limited edition shoes on the official web store of the partnering labels.
