A Ma Maniere is collaborating once again with Jordan Brand during the Summer of 2025, this time releasing another Air Jordan 5 in the "Diffused Blue" colorway.
UPDATE 01/04/2025: Considering that no retailer has published any information about the product release or images of the new colorway yet, Jordan Brand may postpone this launch. Alternatively, the brand may cancel the release of the new A Ma Maniere x Air Jordan 5 Retro "Diffused Blue".
UPDATE 02/23/2025: Although we are getting close to the season scheduled for its launch, no industry source has been able to confirm the release of the new Air Jordan 5 in collaboration with A Ma Maniere. It is very likely that this release will be canceled in favor of other drops planned for this year.
Nike is celebrating 35 years since the launch of the Air Jordan 5 in 2025. To mark the anniversary, they are releasing several OG colorways as well as new collaborations. Among the OG colorways are both "Grape" and "Black Metallic". The collaborations include a project with A Ma Maniere. This collaboration represents the third Air Jordan 5 created with James Whitner’s boutique. The information first surfaced from zSneakerHeadz on X (formerly Twitter). He published the color scheme and a possible release date. The sneakers come in the "White / Diffused Blue / Violet Ore / Black / Clear" color scheme. For now, Nike has not confirmed the release. In general, they avoid confirming rumors about upcoming drops.
The "Violet Ore" color is also featured on the Nike Air Max 95 collaboration, while "Diffused Blue" appears on the Air Jordan 3 collaboration – both releasing at the end of 2024 and the beginning of 2025. Considering this, it is possible that the Air Jordan 3 Retro pair is also a collaboration with A Ma Maniere.
When is the A Ma Maniere x Air Jordan 5 Retro “Diffused Blue” releasing?
The A Ma Maniere x Air Jordan 5 Retro "Diffused Blue" is releasing during the Summer of 2025 on Nike.com and at select Air Jordan Retro partner stores. For now, Nike has not yet confirmed an official release date. However, we can expect to see the pair starting from April 2025. Check out a mock-up below (via zSneakerHeadz) while we wait for official images and more release details.
On a different note, read about the Air Jordan 3 Retro OG SP GH "Diffused Blue", a possible collaboration on the Jordan Brand calendar for Spring 2025. At the moment we do not know who the collaborator is for this Jordan 3. However, as we mentioned above, it may once again be A Ma Maniere.
