Awake NY x Air Jordan 5 Retro "Boro - Racer Blue" DV4982-004

The Awake NY x Air Jordan 5 Retro “Boro – Racer Blue” takes a legendary silhouette and infuses it with the bold creativity of Angelo Baque’s Awake NY label. This collab celebrates New York energy while paying tribute to MJ’s on-court dominance in the ’90s.

The sneaker showcases a premium black leather upper with white contrast stitching that highlights the AJ5’s strong, structured frame. Awake NY’s signature “A” script logo replaces the classic netting on the side panels, blending heritage with a fresh streetwear twist. On the heel, the left shoe keeps the traditional “23,” while the right switches things up with “NY,” grounding the design in the city’s roots. The reflective metallic silver tongue stands out under any light, complete with co-branded Awake NY and Jumpman logos that nod to the partnership.

Details carry through across every element of this pair. A translucent lace toggle secures the fit, while padded collars and a soft lining provide ankle comfort. The midsole features Racer Blue shark teeth with white speckling for extra contrast, tying back to classic Jordan DNA. Underfoot, the visible Air unit in the heel delivers responsive cushioning, backed by an icy outsole with co-branded touches that add to its collectible feel.

This drop merges basketball heritage with street culture, offering something fresh for both long-time Jordan fans and those discovering the collab scene. With special packaging and thoughtful design elements, the Awake NY x Air Jordan 5 Retro “Boro – Racer Blue” isn’t just a sneaker—it’s a statement piece ready for the rotation.
