The Whitaker Group retailer A Ma Maniére is well known for making some of the most thoughtfully designed sneaker collaborations today. But one thing the retailer, which boasts locations in Atlanta, Texas and Washington, D.C., does not have a reputation for is its use of multiple colors. Through its work with Nike and Jordan Brand, the retailer has established a signature palette of muddied earth tones which primarily include shades of burgundy, mauve, sail, taupe and violet. Now, with its upcoming two-style Nike V5 Rnr collaboration, A Ma Maniére will deliver its most colorful sneakers yet without straying too far from what fans have come to expect.
The soon-to-be-released A Ma Maniére x Nike V5 Rnr duo includes Light Carbon/Desert Khaki/Fig/Aviator Gray (style code IU3431-001) and Light Violet Ore/Jade Horizon/Mink Brown/Violet Ore (style code IU3431-200) colorways, which feature metallic synthetic paneling across their pastel-based color combinations. Official e-commerce product images show both styles in detail, revealing that the pairs do not include any outward A Ma Maniére branding and wear the store’s logo only on the insole. Like most A Ma Maniére output, there is likely a larger story connected to the project, although the retailer has yet to formally announce more details.

The 2000s-inspired V5 Rnr model has become a sneaky success for Nike due to its affordability and similarities to other popular Nike sneakers such as the Zoom Vomero 5. By stripping the shoe of tech like Zoom Air and using a fully foam midsole, the Beaverton, Ore.based sportswear brand was able to deliver a sneaker with on-trend aesthetics that can compete with similarly priced models such as the Asics Gel-1130 and New Balance 530.
Along with the A Ma Maniére x Nike V5 Rnr, The Whitaker Group is set to launch five additional V5 Rnr SKUs spread across its stores. Social Status will release two styles in Geode Teal/Deep Teal/Anthracite (style code IU3431-301) and White/Phantom/Deep Pewter/Shadow Berry (style code IU3431-101). The recently opened Jaide women’s store will also receive two styles in Fiberglass/Barely Green/Stealth/Metallic Silver (style code IU3431-300) and Light Soft Pink/Summit White/Stealth/Spruce Aura (style code IU3431-600). And lastly, APB will launch its own makeup in Sail/Particle Rose/Sea Spray/Light Medium Blue/Archaeo Pink/Mica Green (style code IU3431-100).
Each pair in the A Ma Maniére x Nike V5 Rnr and wider The Whitaker Group will retail for $95 each. The collection is set to arrive at each respective store during spring 2026.
