Jordan × A Ma Maniere
While You Were Sleeping is Whitaker Group's gratitude campaign across Nike, Jordan, and Converse together — only the second cross-division collaboration after Virgil Abloh's The Ten. Inside the Jordan slice, A Ma Maniere ran a Violet Ore AJ4 with monogrammed jacquard liners and a tonal AJ3 in black tumbled leather, hairy suede, and perforated nubuck, later joined by a For The Love AJ3 with heel tabs reading "All we have is each other."
James Whitner on the broader campaign: "It is an incredible honor to create alongside all three brands — Nike, Jordan Brand, and Converse — all standing united behind our mission and vision. This collection is our way of showing gratitude for the unwavering support from all of you through the years." While You Were Sleeping is the second time a collaborator has worked across all three Nike Inc. divisions after Virgil Abloh's The Ten.
