Air Jordan 5 Awake NY 'Racer Blue' — New York State of Mind
The Air Jordan 5 Awake NY 'Racer Blue' (DV4982-004) is a collaboration between Jordan Brand and Awake NY — the New York-based streetwear label founded by Angelo Baque that has become one of the most respected voices in contemporary street culture. This is the AJ5 filtered through a distinctly New York lens: gritty, authentic, and deeply considered.
Design & Collaboration
The 'Racer Blue' colorway brings a bold, electric energy to the AJ5 silhouette. The black and racer blue palette channels the speed and urgency of New York City life — fast-moving, high-contrast, and impossible to ignore. Awake NY's collaborative touch is evident in the premium material choices and the subtle co-branding details that reward close inspection, while the AJ5's iconic shark tooth midsole and reflective tongue maintain the silhouette's legendary design integrity.
