The Air Jordan 3 “Raised by Women” is one of the most-anticipated sneaker releases of 2021.
It’s also tied to a local boutique location in Atlanta, A Ma Maniere, which is owned by entrepreneur and civil rights activist James Whitner.

A passionate advocate for Black business owners, Whitner told WABE’s “All Things Considered” host Jim Burress that the shoe drop is also a love letter to his mom.
But for Whitner, it’s also a tribute to Black women across America an expression of thanks for their tireless and thankless devotion.
