Awake NY x Air Jordan 5 Retro 'Boro' – Arctic Pink NYC Borough-Inspired AJ5 Collab Rooted in New York Culture
Awake NY x Air Jordan 5 Retro 'Boro' – Arctic Pink
New York, all five boroughs, one shoe. The Awake NY x Air Jordan 5 Retro 'Boro' is Angelo Baque’s love letter to the city that built him — an arctic pink AJ5 collab that draws its identity directly from the five boroughs of New York City, the neighborhoods, the energy, and the culture that makes New York the sneaker capital of the world. Awake NY doesn’t make tourist merchandise. The Boro AJ5 is for people who actually know what it means to be from here.
