A Ma Maniere x Jordan Air Ship
I have always thoroughly enjoyed TWG because of their attention to detail & storytelling. Not many brands are able to consistently execute quality results consistently. With this being their 2nd Air Ship & the story behind it, I was going to add these to the collection regardless.
Materials: the majority of this sneaker is made up of a white leather. The leather is soft to touch and also has a nice grain to it that can be seen once you press down on it. Next up, the yellowing of the midsole and the edges of the leather. It adds to that vintage aesthetic as if you had a pair of Air Ships from back in the day. On the swoosh and ankle collar is a soft black nubuck with 'Nike Air' debossed on the right heel & The AMM 'A' on the left. Lastly, I wanted to mention the hidden gems hidden throughout. The entire sock liner has the AMM 'A' pattern & on the insole they have the 'A' logo again & an embroidered jumpman logo w/ 365 in a metallic silver. These subtle details are truly what make TWG one of my favorite designers, b/c there's always little gems in each pair.
Comfort/Sizing: comfort-wise, I personally feel that the Air Ship is more comfortable than the aj1. It has a flat & low to the ground feel, but it feels more squishy to me than the aj1. In terms of sizing, go tts
Overall Opinion: regarding the sneaker, the attention to detail is truly one of my favorite parts of every TWG collab. Each pair is like an easter egg w/ little details that you find the more you look at it. The story behind these is to 'Understand Your Why', which is the 1st of TWG 12 values. I always get really excited when AMM rolls out a campaign bc it's guaranteed to have a beautiful & impactful message. I say this a lot, but understanding my why is the reason I continue to do what I do. Photography allows me the freedom to process & channel what I feel into the pictures. I push everyday for my kids & like @higherlxng says, keep going, u never know what's waiting for you when you open that next door. It's always bigger than shoes, so keep going if you haven't gotten an AMM Collab yet, try it out
