Hey Guys! We're a little late to the party but we still wanted to give y'all a detailed look and review on the Air Jordan 2 A Ma Maniére. Let us know your thoughts on them down below. Thanks for watching!
I watch James Whitner podcasts. He explained the back story and inspiration of the Jordan 2. The A Ma Maniere Jordan 1 and 2 was originally supposed to release as a pack but more so the Jordan 2 could be more highlighted. But Covid played a part in that so it was separate releases. That’s why the 2s have pretty much the exact same details as the jordan 1s
Reason they started with the J3 A Ma Maniere then J1 and lastly J2 was because of the Chicagos area code(312). That’s what I heard. But who really knows. Also love your videos. You guys help me make my decisions when buying Jordan’s. Thanks and keep up the great work you guys do. Thanks again.
Yes! Been waiting for y'all's review on this. I love Jordan 2s. My first pair was the alternate 87s and they're so comfy! So I really need to get these!!
Edit: I think the way they released it as 3,1,2 is a nod to Chicago's area code which is 312. Which apparently there is an Air Jordan Legacy 312 lows. They could've at least used the dreamcel for that ridiculous price. I like the shoe as a display piece, cuz it kinda looked like snow boots on feet. Awesome review 👏 👌
A Ma Maniere is doing its thing. All 3 pairs are 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥. I rank them 3,2,1. Hopefully one day I can own a pair. Hopefully I can hit the A Ma Maniere 4 when it releases. Nice review on a dope shoe.
These definitely look different from any other 2's that I've owned, including the Union 2's. I passed on these because I just wasn't feeling them like the 1's and the 3's. I would probably rank em 3, 1, 2. Thanks for another great video and a nice up close look at these. You can always count on Weartesters!
The sad McDonald's theme followed by Noooo after he said I'm NOT loving it is just amazing improvisation and comedic timing. I had to pause the vid to reflect. What a lucky guy
I don't love crack leather, I don't love snake print and I don't love 2s but I love these sneakers. I'm 50/50 with the 1s so I likely won't go back for them but the 3s and these 2s are my favorites from each particular model (I never hit on the black cements so they fall below thee AMM 3s).
I remember around 10 years ago I bought the Jordan 2.0’s in wolf grey. The only difference was the 360 air unit instead of the solid midsole they normally are. Was a pretty comfortable and decent looking shoe. The wolf grey 2.0’s remind me a lot of the AMM2’s of you squint really hard 😂
Some interesting rumors on why they released the way they did. 312 - Chicago area code 312 - the suppose 1st retro release back in 94/95. With the 3s being the first, then 1s, follow by the 2s. Rumor has it the at 4s are next, which would also mean the 4th retro(1999)
The snake material is so no cracking like older 2s you spoke about ... like a reverse jordan 2.. years later upper is cracked but lower still intact lol
A Ma Maniere all about the story telling. cracked leather to represent 'concrete' I believe, and maroon for bloodlines. perhaps the order of release was to represent '312' area code of chicago?
That's literally my favourite thing about this shoe, it really doesn't even look like J2 from a distance, the white on the outsole of the shoes ends and goes black makes it look like a the shoe has heel and I LOVE IT, the Doc Marten comparison LOVE IT, I think only the selective few will really admire this for what it truly is but hey to each their own, IK I can't afford these nonetheless, great video as always big love from Lisbon & London!
Love this shoe and I’m glad that I was able to grab a pair for retail. I’d rank this collection 3-1-2. Just a thought 💭 312 is one of Chicago’s area codes which is why they may have released them in that order.
When I go to Vegas in a week I’m definitely going to find a pair of Jordan 2’s cause there my second favorite Air Jordan of all time right next to the Jordan 1! ❤️
Thanks for another amazing video. As far as the AMM order, I heard someone say that it was to match Chicago’s area code (312). Not sure if that’s true, but MAN, do I love these 2s. I am an Air Jordan 2 superfan, and this is the only 2 collab released recently that I actually like. And in my mind, it’s the best of the AMM Jordans. Better than the 3s (which I love), and way better than the 1s.
What?!??!!? Better than the 3s and the 1s?!?!?! I respect your opinion lol. But disagree whole heartedly. I have the 3s and 1s and have no interest in owning these.. and im not opposed to 2s as I have a few pairs.. but the sole on these ruined them for me, looks like a heel on a dress shoe, once I saw that I couldn't unsee it, and it completely ruined the shoe for me as I did want them prior to that realization.
@@Deasnuts1 Maybe the reasons why you don’t like them are some of the reasons I do. The 2 was meant to be a luxury basketball shoe; this shoe captures the spirit of that, IMO. I also love the AMM 3s. I just like these better. I couldn’t care less about the 1s, honestly.
@@jstar_the_poet hey man I respect it, you like what you like, I dont dislike 2s I just don't like the sole on these.. looks like it has a heel.. kills em for me. I prefer the unions as far as collabs on 2s go, even the don cs were better in my opinion.
I like the color blocking but I'm not a fan of the cracked thing. I'd prefer if it was normal leader or suede. So far, the best Jordan II released are the off white ones. I'm counting the days left to october for the release of the "OG Chicago". They'd be a great birthday present.
I’m glad you reviewed these. Always respect your opinion. If it’s good enough for you, it’s good enough for me. If you think something is trash, I second guess and save my money instead. Appreciate ya
Gave it a test run w/ shoot around this past weekend and ball on my feet started aching. Not like I’ll wear in a game. MosDef felt nostalgic during shoot around. Very lucky to have ‘em!
Your vid is hyping me up! My 2's arrive from GOAT tomorrow. Super excited! It's arrival will complete my A Ma Maniére set. Ranking them all, I support how they've been released. 3, 1, 2. ⚜KING🤴🏾NOLA⚜
So I’ve had 2s since early 2000’s and think they are so underrated. The two has always been one of the most confortable Jordans IMO . Just got my Ma maniere pair in and the materials are great , just need the Chicago’s and J balvins and I’m straight 😎
312 is the Chicago area code, the Don C Legacy 312 said it was a shout-out to MJ's Chicago area so maybe that's why they released the 3 first, then the 1 and the 2.
I have all 3 and I would say 3s win by far. They're the most cohesive and premium feeling. The 2s look better in hand but I would say they tie with the 1s, probably due to both having that cracked leather.
Wry nice looking shoe. Can’t remember exactly when but Jordan came out w/a 1-1/2. Classic 1 Jordan top and 2 bottom. Materials on top were so cheap except maybe the bucks pair but the 2 bottom on that shoe is soooooo comfortable. Again good looking shoe here and great video👊
I know for sure the cracking leather is a reference to late 80s-mid 90s nike shoes that has cracking on certain parts of the shoe. Not sure if it was the paint they used but for sure it has to be a direct reference.
I'd say 3, 2, 1. I have 2 pairs of 3's, the 1's and waiting to get the 2 soon. I love all 3 pairs though just for the stories and artistic take that AMM always has.
I don't think he heard that she said that she like how the look. This is one of a whole lot of sneakers that she likes and the AJ 2 on top of it all and he doesn't even take notice. Wow lol.
3,1,2 because the 2 materials and colors are the same as the 1. It seems like AMM is getting formulaic with these Jordan collaborations. I'm curious if they step out a little more with whatever their next silhouette is.
3 > 1 > 2. I am fortunate to have all 3. Really the wrapped midsole messes up the 2 for me. My 1's midsole aren't super pink. It only shows a little in certain lights but they're all very nice
Another great review! Question, will you ever do a restock on the 1989 bred 4 T-shirt? It’s my favorite shirt and I always get compliments when I wear it. Thank you.
Not sure if this has ANYTHING at all to do with the AMM release order, but the very first set of retro Jordans that Nike ever did in 94-95, released 3 -> 1 -> 2. Could be something, could be nothing. Just a thought.
I have the 2 out of the three. The 3's and the 1's. Really want to get the 2's to complete the set, but it's not a must. I never really liked the Jordan 2 platform at all. So my ranking is 3, 1, 2.
Hey Guys! We're a little late to the party but we still wanted to give y'all a detailed look and review on the Air Jordan 2 A Ma Maniére. Let us know your thoughts on them down below. Thanks for watching!
312 is the Chicago Area code and that’s the point of how they were releasing the shoes
I would love to get a pair of those for retail I have always wanted a pair of those.
Incredibly clean. Kudos to anyone who completed the collection.
Fun fact: 312 is Chicago’s area code. Also the order in which they came out.
I heard it went in the 312 order because that’s chicagos area code
Maybe cause their gonna do something with the legacy 312
It is the Chicago area code just like 412 is baltimore
I watch James Whitner podcasts. He explained the back story and inspiration of the Jordan 2. The A Ma Maniere Jordan 1 and 2 was originally supposed to release as a pack but more so the Jordan 2 could be more highlighted. But Covid played a part in that so it was separate releases. That’s why the 2s have pretty much the exact same details as the jordan 1s
This is true. I heard it on a podcast as well
Makes a lot of sense. I would love to get a double pack of any kind.
They need to go back to s
Ellington packs
Reason they started with the J3 A Ma Maniere then J1 and lastly J2 was because of the Chicagos area code(312). That’s what I heard. But who really knows. Also love your videos. You guys help me make my decisions when buying Jordan’s. Thanks and keep up the great work you guys do. Thanks again.
Don’t own a pair, but for me, this is the best Jordan release by far so this year.
Well done A Ma Maniere.
3 > 2 > 1 for my ranking. Really like what AMM did with the materials and packaging. Great review and on feet as always!
3’s are so dope my favorite J’s of all time
1 is okay but overrated, 2 is the ugliest and 3 one of the best.
312... it's the area code
@@Qliphirot 2 is the best
The 2s are sick in person 🔥
I think I just enjoy AMM across the board w/ the jordan collabs. So still another must pickup for me
I never had a pair of 2s and to have these as my first pair, I love them.
Yes! Been waiting for y'all's review on this. I love Jordan 2s. My first pair was the alternate 87s and they're so comfy! So I really need to get these!!

These shows are so freakin beautiful. I wasn’t a huge 2 fan but lately I have turned a corner. Wanted these so bad, might have to go resale route.
I think it’s best to buy now while the price is low (depending on size) I definitely see these going up overtime.
The sad McDonald's theme followed by Noooo after he said I'm NOT loving it is just amazing improvisation and comedic timing. I had to pause the vid to reflect. What a lucky guy
Thanks
I don't love crack leather, I don't love snake print and I don't love 2s but I love these sneakers. I'm 50/50 with the 1s so I likely won't go back for them but the 3s and these 2s are my favorites from each particular model (I never hit on the black cements so they fall below thee AMM 3s).
312 is actually the area code of Chicago so that’s probably why they released them in that order.
I remember around 10 years ago I bought the Jordan 2.0’s in wolf grey. The only difference was the 360 air unit instead of the solid midsole they normally are. Was a pretty comfortable and decent looking shoe. The wolf grey 2.0’s remind me a lot of the AMM2’s of you squint really hard 😂
That's what I said when I first saw them. They need to drop again.
Hvala!
Thanks!
Some interesting rumors on why they released the way they did.
312 - Chicago area code
312 - the suppose 1st retro release back in 94/95. With the 3s being the first, then 1s, follow by the 2s.
Rumor has it the at 4s are next, which would also mean the 4th retro(1999)
I was just gonna mention the Chicago area code😂
The snake material is so no cracking like older 2s you spoke about ... like a reverse jordan 2.. years later upper is cracked but lower still intact lol

312 is an phone area code in Chicago.....hence 3-1-2 for the shoe order??
Love this shoe and I’m glad that I was able to grab a pair for retail. I’d rank this collection 3-1-2. Just a thought 💭 312 is one of Chicago’s area codes which is why they may have released them in that order.
Thanks! What’s the name of the song playing in the background?
It’s an old copyright free track that we never had the song title to, unfortunately.
When I go to Vegas in a week I’m definitely going to find a pair of Jordan 2’s cause there my second favorite Air Jordan of all time right next to the Jordan 1! ❤️
Looking forward to AJ4 AMM🤞🏻
3, 1, 2... I know exactly how you feel with the 1s...but when you wear them they translate better than holding them in hand. Great vid as always!
These are the dopest Jordans to date, PERIOD!!

My favorite A Ma Maniere collab
Love to rewatch your videoes :)
I got all three and I always appreciate the honesty on opinions. 3,1,2 for ranking! Thanks for the awesome review!
I like the color blocking but I'm not a fan of the cracked thing. I'd prefer if it was normal leader or suede. So far, the best Jordan II released are the off white ones. I'm counting the days left to october for the release of the "OG Chicago". They'd be a great birthday present.
Great review! However, if you wear the 1's out in regular daylight, it's a sail color
I’m glad you reviewed these. Always respect your opinion. If it’s good enough for you, it’s good enough for me. If you think something is trash, I second guess and save my money instead.
Appreciate ya
Gave it a test run w/ shoot around this past weekend and ball on my feet started aching. Not like I’ll wear in a game. MosDef felt nostalgic during shoot around. Very lucky to have ‘em!
312 is Chicago's area code, could be why they decided to release in that order
Your vid is hyping me up! My 2's arrive from GOAT tomorrow. Super excited! It's arrival will complete my A Ma Maniére set. Ranking them all, I support how they've been released. 3, 1, 2. ⚜KING🤴🏾NOLA⚜
J2s are coming back! 🔥🔥🔥
312 - Chicago Area Code
They released them in this order because 312 is the Chicago Area code.
So I’ve had 2s since early 2000’s and think they are so underrated. The two has always been one of the most confortable Jordans IMO . Just got my Ma maniere pair in and the materials are great , just need the Chicago’s and J balvins and I’m straight 😎
312 is the Chicago area code, the Don C Legacy 312 said it was a shout-out to MJ's Chicago area so maybe that's why they released the 3 first, then the 1 and the 2.
The reason for 312 is because that is the area code for Chicago. Yep, I just found that out just recently as well.
I have all 3 and I would say 3s win by far. They're the most cohesive and premium feeling. The 2s look better in hand but I would say they tie with the 1s, probably due to both having that cracked leather.
3-1-2 Chicago area code That’s why they did that order.
312 is Chicago’s area code, that’s why they were released 3,1, then 2.
Bada ba ba noooo… Jodi is hilarious…😂😂😂
This man dropping knowledge on the history, materials and structure of 2s was 👍🏻🔥
Wry nice looking shoe.
Can’t remember exactly when but Jordan came out w/a 1-1/2. Classic 1 Jordan top and 2 bottom. Materials on top were so cheap except maybe the bucks pair but the 2 bottom on that shoe is soooooo comfortable.
Again good looking shoe here and great video👊
I know for sure the cracking leather is a reference to late 80s-mid 90s nike shoes that has cracking on certain parts of the shoe. Not sure if it was the paint they used but for sure it has to be a direct reference.
3,1,2 would be my ranking.
I just realized that the next AMM Jordan collab maybe the 312 silhouette
Mine should be here tomorrow but I would rank them as 3, 1, 2. But I had to complete the set!
I have all 3 but people either forget or don't know about the Air force 1 that they did. Amazing, please look into it. Thanks.
312 is the main Chicago area code. I’m a Chicagoan, thats like the downtown area code. Also have 773, 847, 815. I like them in the order of release.
Man...I want a pair of these sooo bad. Love the colorway and materials.
The size label was also on the Chicago 2 lows from 2016 😤 I’ve been a fan of 2s
On the 1s, the pinkish hue is only in indoor lighting. I’ve noticed in sunlight it has that tan/taupe color from the online pictures
I love these. The whole set is fire
The "E" on your left shoe is missing the accent mark...if you didn't already notice it. Shoe is still clean!!
I love these. Had the black/chrome pair back in the day. My favorite Jordan is the white/red low 16, wish they would retro those…
Great Vid, As far as the AMM collabs go the upcoming Jordan 4 will be #1, the Jordan 3 is #2, the Jordan 2 is #3 and the Jordan 1 is #4
Got to see these in hand. Only because I don't like how the cracked leather looks in pictures. But I am a big aj2 fan
The Air Merinerica 2’s are 💯👈
I believe AMM released them in the 3-1-2 order as a tribute to Chicago. 312 is a Chicago area code
The pink midsole on the 1s is just an Optical illusion due to lighting. It's actually just a cream color I'm natural light.
Maybe he's representing the Chicago 312 area code. Great video as usual. Keep up the good work.
The 3s are my favorite. Can't wait for the remastered versions of the 2s later!
I'd say 3, 2, 1. I have 2 pairs of 3's, the 1's and waiting to get the 2 soon. I love all 3 pairs though just for the stories and artistic take that AMM always has.
My 2s arrive tomorrow, fresh off Tradeblock 🙌 Need to circle back for another pair of those 3s, soon!
@@demetriusjames9535 I got my 2's today off Ebay and they do not disappoint! Enjoy them!
There was also the AF1 high and low collabs too
@weartesters they did the order like that because that’s also the area code to Chicago it’s 312 just a quick reference to where he played
Jordan 2s are so underrated I want me some
Jordan 2 are my favorite from all the Jordan collection.
I agree. Jordan is a huge factor for Nike’s success.
I tried to get a pair, got an L though. 😆
The 3s 2s and 1s when it comes to the A ma collabs
I don't think he heard that she said that she like how the look. This is one of a whole lot of sneakers that she likes and the AJ 2 on top of it all and he doesn't even take notice. Wow lol.
Chris 312 is the Chicago area code that's why James Whitner released it in that order. Call back to Chicago!
312 is one of the Chicago mainland area codes. That’s why they did it that way…. Completely just made that up! Lol
3,1,2 because the 2 materials and colors are the same as the 1. It seems like AMM is getting formulaic with these Jordan collaborations. I'm curious if they step out a little more with whatever their next silhouette is.
I just realized they released the 3s, then the 1s, then the 2s because thats the Chicago area code ! . . 312 . . Mind blown !!!
3 > 1 > 2. I am fortunate to have all 3. Really the wrapped midsole messes up the 2 for me. My 1's midsole aren't super pink. It only shows a little in certain lights but they're all very nice
Another great review! Question, will you ever do a restock on the 1989 bred 4 T-shirt? It’s my favorite shirt and I always get compliments when I wear it. Thank you.
They did it in correct order. 3-1-2, Chicago’s area code.
Not sure if this has ANYTHING at all to do with the AMM release order, but the very first set of retro Jordans that Nike ever did in 94-95, released 3 -> 1 -> 2. Could be something, could be nothing. Just a thought.
They released them 3-1-2 which is Chicago's area code. ;)
the order they came out in is supposedly because "312" is a Chicago area code
I want the OG’s. Never had em and would love too.
Majority of sneakerheads and hypebeasts hate the AJ2 and yet they'll freaking buy this just because it's a collab
I have the 2 out of the three. The 3's and the 1's. Really want to get the 2's to complete the set, but it's not a must. I never really liked the Jordan 2 platform at all. So my ranking is 3, 1, 2.
I didn’t expect the 2s get a revival this year but then again.. it is 2022
I have them all... I say 3s, 2s, 1s.. all clean though... im not disappointed
Nice review! Feeling better that I passed on these, not a AJ2 fan and not the ideal AJ to do a collab on imo
Is 312 not a chicago area code? Thats probably why they released them that order
