Awake NY's first flagship store opening has not only marked a new era for the brand but also unveiled an exciting collaboration with Jordan Brand, breathing new life into the iconic Jordan Air Ship. This partnership pays homage to the Air Ship's legacy as Michael Jordan's first NBA shoe and its "banned" status, which paved the way for the Air Jordan 1's fame.
The collaboration introduces a "University Red" colorway that stands out with its unique features. The white leather upper is complemented by silver Swooshes outlined in contrasting red and blue, creating a visually striking mismatched effect. The collar's faux snakeskin texture in alternating blue and red tones further enhances the design, alongside the metallic silver Jumpman hangtag and a vintage-inspired sail white rubber cupsole.
