AIR JORDAN 5 WMNS "A Ma Maniere - Diffused Blue"
The A Ma Maniére x Women’s Air Jordan 5 SP "Dawn" is a women’s-exclusive colorway of Michael Jordan’s fifth signature shoe designed by James Whitner’s boutique. Since debuting its first Air Jordan project in the late 2010s, A Ma Maniére has become one of the most successful collaborators in the sneaker space, and it's easy to see why on the “Dawn” AKA “Diffused Blue” Jordan 5. Released alongside a “Dusk” Jordan 5 by AMM in a black colorway, the “Dawn” features a fine nubuck suede upper in light grey with pre-aged netting on the tongue and mid-panel designed in an “A” pattern for A Ma Maniére. The retailer’s branding can also be found on the “A” logo on the silver reflective tongue of the left shoe while a black Jumpman is embroidered on the silver reflective tongue of the right shoe. Classic “Nike Air” detailing is embroidered on the heel and Jordan’s “23” jersey number is stitched onto the lateral side of the heel. A yellow-tint lace lock continues the shoe’s vintage look, as does the pre-aged, semi-translucent outsole underneath the black midsole with Diffused Blue shark tooth detailing. Release date: November 22, 2023
Key Points:
Fighter Jet Midsole: Features the iconic "shark-tooth" design on the midsole, a tribute to the nose art found on WWII fighter planes.
Quarter Panel Netting: Features plastic mesh window inserts on the side panels for enhanced breathability and a technical look.
Ankle Support & Padding: Known for its "bulky" but comfortable profile, featuring a heavily padded collar and asymmetrical "anatomical" foam to lock the heel in place.
Inner Details: Many models include an upside-down "Air Jordan" patch on the inner tongue—a classic detail from the original 1990 production.
Translucent "Icy" Outsole: The first model in the Jordan franchise to utilize a clear rubber outsole, providing a distinct, premium aesthetic.
