Air Jordan 5 Retro × Awake NY ‘Boro – Racer Blue’
Borough Pride: Air Jordan 5 Retro × Awake NY 'Boro – Racer Blue'
New York City has always had its own relationship with sneaker culture — and Awake NY has spent years being one of the most authentic voices in that conversation. Founded by Angelo Baque, Awake NY brings a Queens-born, New York-raised perspective to everything it touches, and the Air Jordan 5 Retro × Awake NY 'Boro – Racer Blue' is the collaboration that puts borough pride front and center.
The 'Boro' colorway pays homage to the outer boroughs of New York City — the neighborhoods beyond Manhattan where the culture is real, the community is tight, and the sneaker game has always been serious. Racer blue anchors the AJ5 silhouette in a vibrant, energetic palette that's pure New York — bold without apology, authentic without effort, and deeply connected to the streets that inspired it.
