The first release saw the U.K.’s Morprime (Morgan Weekes) digitally link up with Dutch’s Tommy Triggah to reinterpret the Racer Hybrid. So, what makes a collab special in 2021? For me, KangaROOS “ROOS United” project was just that - bringing the sneaker community together in light of a pandemic forcing us apart. The world moves so fast these days that it’s easy to forget there was a time when sneaker collaborations were pretty rare. Tucked away inside the collar is an inscription from the man himself, reading: “You have to expect things of yourself before you can do them.” While it’s not the flashiest sneaker of the year, nor the most limited edition, its sincere execution reminds you of why you fell in love with 1s in the first place.

Waxed laces, metal aglets, quilted liners, an aged midsole and cracked upper are understated on their own but together, they create a sneaker that feels so premium, it redefines what should be expected of high-profile collabs. It’s fitting, then, that they’re closing out the year with the Air Jordan 1 “Airness,” a love letter written in earnest that puts aside flashy gimmicks, forced scarcity and hype in an effort to focus on the little things.
Not only did the boutique prioritize storytelling and craftsmanship with both their Jordan 3 and Jordan 1 collabs, they also put in the effort to ensure pairs landed in the hands of those ready to wear them, bringing some much-needed heart back into the sneaker game. Looking back on a year littered by turbulent releases, backdoor controversies and increasing scrutiny of the resale market, A Ma Maniére feels like a breath of fresh air.
