Jordan 5 Retro Awake NY Black

The Jordan 5 Retro Awake NY Black represents a powerful collaboration between Jordan Brand and Awake NY, paying homage to New York City's vibrant culture. This sneaker features a premium black tumbled leather upper with white contrast stitching that outlines the iconic Air Jordan 5 silhouette. Racer Blue accents provide vibrant pops of colour on the jagged midsole "shark teeth," lace locks, and tongue branding, blending classic design with contemporary flair.

Unique to this collaboration are the co-branded details, including the “A” cut-out logo on the side panels and the substitution of the traditional “23” with “NY” on the right heel, reflecting Awake NY’s city pride. The shoe features translucent mesh panels with the Awake NY logo and a reflective 3M tongue with embroidered branding, while Nike Air cushioning ensures comfort and performance. Multiple lace options offer customization potential.

The combination of premium materials, cultural references, and technical design creates a sneaker that honors Michael Jordan’s legacy while resonating strongly with the spirit of New York.

To ensure the longevity of your sneakers, we recommend a considered approach to their care. Regular maintenance is key to preserving their aesthetic integrity and material quality.

• General Care: For leather and synthetic uppers, gently wipe away dirt with a soft, damp cloth and a mild cleaning solution. Laces can be hand-washed separately. Allow the sneakers to air-dry naturally, away from direct heat or sunlight, to maintain the structure and quality of the materials.

• Suede & Nubuck: These delicate materials require specific attention. Use a dedicated suede brush to gently remove surface dirt, always brushing in the same direction. For stubborn marks, a specialist suede eraser is recommended. Avoid water, as it can stain and alter the texture. To protect against the elements, a light application of a waterproofing spray designed for suede can be beneficial.
