Introduced by Atlanta-based trendsetter A Ma Maniere in collaboration with Jordan Brand, the A Ma Maniere x Air Jordan 4 Retro “Violet Ore” is a testament to the ongoing high standards of the series. This sneaker’s standout feature is its extensive use of light tan suede material combined with mocha brown accents, creating a visually compelling exterior. The pairing of leather and suede not only enhances the overall texture and durability of the shoe but also improves its comfort levels.
The design incorporates light brown for the breathable mesh on the sides and the lace holes, as well as TPU accents on the heel, maintaining the shoe’s practicality while enhancing its aesthetic appeal. The shoelaces and the slightly yellowed midsole are crucial design elements that add depth to the mocha color scheme. The interior features a brown diamond fabric that elevates comfort and adds a touch of luxury. The brown Jumpman Logo embroidered on the left of the tongue complements the “A” embroidery on the right, highlighting the sneaker’s collaborative nature. Uniquely, the heel sports a Nike Swoosh Logo and Air branding, replacing the traditional Jumpman Logo, which not only innovates but also fosters a unique sense of identity.
The outsole design draws significant attention with its black and aged dual-tone midsole paired with a grey outsole, capped off by a brown mini Nike Swoosh Logo, perfectly completing the design. With a product code of FZ4810-200, the shoe is available in a wide range of sizes from 36 to 47.5, accommodating various foot types. The A Ma Maniere x Air Jordan 4 Retro “Violet Ore” transcends mere athletic wear, embodying a fusion of fashion and functionality that showcases the allure and practicality of crossover designs.
