Awake NY – Born in the Bronx, Built for the World
Angelo Baque founded Awake NY with a clear mission: to celebrate the culture, communities, and energy of New York City in everything the brand creates. The 'Boro' collaboration with Jordan Brand takes that mission to its highest level yet — a limited, culturally significant release that connects the streets of New York to one of basketball's greatest silhouettes. For those who know where they're from and wear it proudly.
Borough pride. Racer blue. Fighter jet soul. The Awake NY x Air Jordan 5 'Boro' is New York City in sneaker form.
