It’s Saturday afternoon, when I’m able to catch up with Elliott Mcknight, general manager at A Ma Maniere in the westside of Atlanta, GA. We’re sitting in A Ma’s new content studio next door to the boutiuqe, it’s littered with Nike boxes and all kinds of shoes, from Air Max 1s to a pair of Off-White x Nike UNC sneakers. It’s a depicition of what Elliott’s week was like

“Yeah, Tuesday we celebrated Air Max day here. It was great time, people came by and donated their worn shoes that they didn’t want any more. I just got back last night from one day trip to New York with the EKIN team [Nike’s top secret marketing team], which was very eye opening and inspirational, and now I’m here with Looklive. ”

Elliott, 27, describes himself as a “design head” over a sneaker head, or just a pure fashion lover. “I like to think about drawing inspiration from many sources and how they can relay back to me. I learned last night that Tinker [Hatfield] saw the Georges Pompidou Centre and that’s what inspired him to to make the design for the Air Max 1”

Atlanta doesn’t have a Soho district or Fashion District like other major cities in the U.S., but A Ma Maniere is becoming a centerfold for all types of creatives. “I’m not sure if you saw, but Usher was just next door shopping when you walked in….you didn’t even notice him did you?” [I didn’t.]

Mcknight believes the onus is on him and his team to set the ‘taste level’ for people as they come in. “You have some people who come in, and know what they want, but then there are some people who may look at me (He points to his Air Max 720s he’s wearing during the shoot) and will start to ask me why I picked this shoe, or why did I style it the way I did.” Elliott opted for the “Triple Black” color way, but he’s right — the shoe comes in a host of colors that that we recommend like “Club Gold”, “Hyper Jade” and “Sunrise”.

Elliott’s not just curating a vibe for the city, but he’s in a position to help some of the world’s biggest brands be more creative as well. The A Ma Maniere team did a lot with Nike for the Super Bowl this past February which took place in Atlanta.

“We actually did an experience for the Air Max 720s, and this was before they even hit the shelves for the general public. It was fun, we had lab coats, the shoes on hand and really focused in on the technology behind the shoe. They’ve actually packed it with the most air ever inside of a shoe”, Elliott says tapping his foot, showing the off the air bubble which makes it Nike’s tallest heel unit to date, and I also learn from Elliott, that the shoe is made of 75% recycled manufacturing waste.

Many would admire what Elliott’s doing currently, but he feels as though he’s just getting started. “I feel like I’m 9 years old when it comes to my career. There’s so much more that I want to create.” While in New York with the EKIN team, Elliott was asked what his ‘unimaginable goal was’.

“I want to eventually build a school that teaches and…raises the taste level of everyone, especially children. A place that would have helped expand my creativity when I was 12, instead of having to wait until I was 19 or 20 to start studying art, architecture and fashion… I believe everyone is a creative, and I want to be the one that helps bring it out of them with the things I create.” Elliott is currently planning workshops where people can learn from designers and other creatives leading up to the Atlanta Design Festival.

Elliott and his team at A Ma Maniere are building something special that is permeating through Atlanta, GA and the rest of the world. As we’re wrapping up the interview, we get interrupted by one of his teammates: “Aye, Lil Yachty just texted me. He’s on his way in to the store.”

Thanks to Elliott for the interview — You can shop his look from the interview here. You can keep up Elliott on Instagram, here.
