mens amiri ma1 sneakers

The MA-1 is AMIRI's runner, and the pair most men buy first. Built on a cushioned rubber sole with panelled nubuck and leather uppers, it carries the Los Angeles rock heritage the house was founded on without the hard distressing of its denim. Shop the AMIRI MA-1 at MARAIS Australia, or see the wider AMIRI men's shoes edit.

Los Angeles Luxury, Built for Wear

Mike Amiri founded the label on hand-worked denim and Sunset Strip swagger, and the footwear carries that attitude in a more wearable register. The MA-1 sits on a chunky cushioned sole with layered nubuck, suede and leather panels, so it reads as a designer sneaker up close while working as an everyday shoe from any distance.

Where the MA-1 Sits in the Range

AMIRI's footwear codes are well established. The Classic sneaker is the cleanest low-top in the range, while the Skeleton line carries the house Bones motif onto a high-top. The broader AMIRI sneaker edit covers the rest, and the same silhouettes appear in the Skel-Top range.

Building an AMIRI Look

The MA-1 works hardest against the label's own denim and jersey. AMIRI clothing covers the hand-distressed jeans and graphic pieces, AMIRI bags and accessories finish it, and the full AMIRI men's collection holds it together. The women's version sits in AMIRI MA-1 for women, and reduced stock in the AMIRI sale.

AMIRI MA-1 FAQs

How do AMIRI MA-1 sneakers fit?

Generally true to size, though the cushioned sole and padded collar make them feel substantial. If you wear a thicker sock or sit between sizes, size up and check the measurements listed on the product page.

What is the MA-1 made from?

Panelled nubuck, suede and leather uppers on a cushioned rubber sole. The mix of materials is what gives the silhouette its depth, and it is the main thing separating it from a plain leather runner.

How do I clean nubuck and suede panels?

Use a suede brush and a dedicated eraser for marks, never water. Protect the uppers with a suede spray before the first wear, and keep them out of rain, which stains nubuck permanently.
