Awake NY x Air Jordan 5 Retro 'Boro - Racer Blue'

Queens. Culture. Collaboration.

The Awake NY x Air Jordan 5 Retro 'Boro - Racer Blue' is a love letter to the borough that shaped one of streetwear's most authentic voices. Awake NY founder Angelo Baque — born and raised in Queens — brings his neighborhood's energy, pride, and visual identity to the iconic AJ5 silhouette in a collaboration that's as personal as it is powerful.

Awake NY Meets the AJ5

Awake NY has built its reputation on community, authenticity, and a deeply rooted connection to New York City. The 'Boro' theme speaks directly to borough pride — the kind of identity that defines New Yorkers and shapes everything they create. On the AJ5, that identity comes through in Racer Blue, premium materials, and co-branding details that honor both the Jordan legacy and the streets of Queens that inspired the collaboration.

• Upper: Premium leather and mesh construction in Racer Blue with Awake NY co-branding and accent detailing
• Cushioning: Air-Sole unit in the heel for responsive, lightweight impact protection
• Outsole: Translucent rubber outsole with grippy traction pattern
• Colorway: Racer Blue / White / Black
• Details: Reflective tongue with Awake NY branding, lace lock system, shark tooth midsole, 3M reflective accents, co-branded insole

Why This Collaboration Matters

The Awake NY x AJ5 'Boro' is more than a sneaker — it's a statement about where you're from and what that means. Awake NY has always used fashion as a vehicle for community storytelling, and this collaboration with Jordan Brand brings that mission to the biggest stage in sneaker culture. Whether you're from Queens or just understand what it means to rep your city, this shoe speaks your language.

From Queens. For everyone who knows what that means.
