Awake NY isn’t easing into sneaker culture—they’re charging full speed with their Awake NY Air Jordan 5 “Black/Racer Blue”. This exciting release blends classic Jordan DNA with Awake’s gritty New York edge, paying homage to the iconic “Black Metallic” colorway.
This pair rocks a black tumbled leather upper, crisp contrast stitching, Racer Blue highlights, and bold reflective silver tongues. Instead of the usual mesh panel, you get Awake NY’s oversized “A” logo—because who needs subtle when you’ve got style?
You’ll find classic retro Air Jordan 5 details like the lace lock and midsole flames, but with a twist. The number “23” and “NY” are stitched on opposite heels, while the tongue flashes dual branding from Awake NY and Jordan Brand. If you liked the “Arctic Pink” pair, this one brings more edge, less sweetness.

Whether you call it a collab, a remix, or a heat-check, this Awake NY Jordan 5 is pure sneaker heat. Perfect for collectors, hoopers, or just flexing on Fordham Road.
