A Ma Maniére Unveils Limited Converse Collaboration

James Whitner's A Ma Maniére has unveiled a limited-edition Converse Chuck Taylor 70 featuring a Nike Swoosh, marking a significant collaboration within the 'While You Were Sleeping' collection. This sneaker, revealed at a pre-premiere event in London, showcases unique design elements with asymmetrical branding and premium materials, including a dual embroidered Swoosh and a Nike Zoom Air insole. With only 100 pairs available globally, split between the UK and the US, the sneaker remains a friends-and-family exclusive, emphasizing its rarity. This release is notable as the first official Chuck Taylor to incorporate a Nike logo since Converse joined Nike's family, despite previous attempts by other labels to do so. The design continues the neutral cream and burgundy theme seen throughout the collection, which includes six other sneakers launched earlier this year. The collaboration is seen as a significant moment for both Converse and Nike, blending heritage with modern aesthetics.
