In May 2018, Angelo Baque, the brain behind Awake NY, shared exciting news on his Instagram Stories. He teased four thrilling collaborations with Converse, involving the iconic One Star Pro sneakers. Fast forward five years, and these long-awaited partnerships have finally come to fruition. Brace yourselves for three striking versions of the One Star Pro, along with a stylish collection of clothing pieces.

The One Star Pro sneakers have undergone a remarkable transformation, sporting velvety powder blue, sleek black, and cool grey suede finishes. These colorways might ring a bell for those who recall Baque’s Instagram post from 2018. A prominent Awake NY embroidery takes center stage on the sneakers’ lateral quarter panel, boldly overlapping the signature star cutout. The look is rounded off with a gleaming rubber midsole featuring a distinctive heel badge and a broad stripe.

But it’s not all about aesthetics; these kicks pack a punch in terms of performance. The One Star Pro takes the classic One Star to new heights by incorporating a Converse CONS rubber outsole, optimized for skateboarding, and a comfy molded CX insole. Complementing these striking sneakers are co-branded hoodies, rugby shirts adorned with a bold star pattern on the back, and graphic tees, completing the apparel lineup.

Mark your calendars for the release date – October 6th. The Awake NY x Converse One Star Pro collection and its accompanying apparel will be available on the Awake webstore and their Lower East Side flagship store. If you miss the initial drop, don’t fret; Converse will release them on October 12th. The sneakers come with a price tag of $95 USD, while the apparel ranges from $50 to $120 USD. Get ready to elevate your style with this exciting collaboration!
