The A Ma Maniere x Air Jordan 3 "Violet Ore" was a women's release from the Atlanta boutique founded by James Whitner. The exact release date was not confirmed when the pair was first announced. A Ma Maniere is known for combining high end luxury with a higher purpose, and this pair paid tribute to women and their role in the first years of our lives. The Air Jordan 3 was the first Jordan model James ever owned, thanks to his mother. Words of wisdom from her appeared in her own handwriting behind each heel tab, and the lace tips carried the mantra "Work Harder". Inside, a quilted lining underlined the label's eye for luxury.
