As part of their offerings for Jordan Brands’ 40th-anniversary celebrations, A Ma Maniére is serving up a “Diffused Blue” Air Jordan 3 design with an intriguing message hidden behind the heel tabs.

A Closer Look At The A Ma Maniére x Air Jordan 3 “Diffused Blue”
As usual, A Ma Maniére’s AJ 3 sneaker is a sophisticated interpretation of the popular model, with premium materials and distinctive branding elements that have come to represent the luxury streetwear brand.
The upper is comprised of white tumbled leather with suede “Anthracite” accents on the toe and heel, which replace the customary elephant print pattern. In a shift from their typical palette, “Diffused Blue” appears on eyelets, “Nike Air” branding on the heel tabs, quilted leather insoles, and the heel region of the midsole, but it’s a pleasant change.
Other noteworthy features include a satin quilted inner lining, embroidered co-branding on the tongue, and hidden text under the heel tabs. The left shoe reads “All We Have is Each Other,” whereas the right reads “You Need to Get Comfortable Walking Alone.”
What We Like About The Sneakers
Although A Ma Maniére has retained iconic elements like its embroidered tongue branding and quilted inner lining, the brand has used an unexpected palette for this collaboration. Even though the colour scheme does read more Fragment than A Ma Maniére, we like that they have deviated from their traditional hues with this AJ3 colourway.
Release Details
A Ma Maniére is set to release the “Diffused Blue” AJ3 on March 15, 2025, priced at $225 USD in men’s sizes and available at Nike SNKRS and select Jordan Brand retailers.
