The Whitaker Group has pulled together its full roster of retail brands for one of the most ambitious Nike collaborations of the year. The seven-part V5 RNR collection features contributions from A Ma Maniere, JAIDE, Social Status and APB, each bringing their own identity to Nike's runner silhouette.
The V5 RNR has been gaining traction as Nike's sleeper hit, a running-inspired lifestyle shoe that sits at the intersection of performance and everyday wear. The Whitaker Group's collection pushes it further into fashion territory with premium materials, tonal colourways and brand-specific detailing across all seven pairs.
A Ma Maniere continues its run as one of the most coveted collaboration partners in sneakers, following a string of sell-out Jordan and Nike releases. Having all four Whitaker Group brands present on a single collection is a statement of scale that few retail groups can match.
Release details are expected imminently, with the collection likely to drop across Whitaker Group stores and Nike channels. Given the group's track record, resale premiums on these are all but guaranteed.
The collection underlines a shift in how Nike approaches collaborations in 2026: fewer one-off hype drops, more considered partnerships with retail groups that have genuine cultural credibility.
