Awake NY x Jordan 5 Retro Duet: Arctic Pink & Black Racer Blue - BLACKPINK Define a New Street Aesthetic

Get ready for the most blockbuster collaboration of the summer! New York street spirit once again meets basketball royalty as Awake NY and Jordan Brand join forces to deliver two stunning yet distinct colorways of the Air Jordan 5 Retro – the 「Arctic Pink」 and the 「Black Racer Blue」. This isn't just a double release; it's the ultimate expression of dual personalities.

Magic happens when Angelo Baque's (Founder of Awake NY, ex-Brand Director of Supreme) insightful New York aesthetic is injected into the classic silhouette designed by Tinker Hatfield. These shoes are poised to take the streets by storm. Are you ready?

The Inspiration: New York Heartbeat, Classic Rhythm

This collaboration is deeply rooted in Awake NY's New York DNA, aiming to capture the city's unique pulse—diverse, vibrant, and nuanced. The gentle power of 「Arctic Pink」 and the cool indifference of 「Black Racer Blue」 are a dual mapping of the city's complex character. They are both a tribute to classic basketball culture and a bold exploration of contemporary style.
