The Awake NY x Air Jordan 5 “Arctic Pink” blends streetwear attitude with Jordan Brand heritage. This pair brings a bright, unapologetic twist to a silhouette that’s been an icon on and off the court for over three decades.
Limited to just 7,000 pairs, the release stays exclusive to Awake NY and won’t see a drop on SNKRS. Designed by Tinker Hatfield during an era when Michael Jordan’s game was redefining basketball.
Inspired by fighter jets, the shoe’s jagged midsole flames and clear outsole became instant identifiers. Over the years, the AJ5 has carried both performance credibility and cultural weight, finding a place in hip hop, skate, and streetwear scenes.
Awake NY’s approach to the “Arctic Pink” channels that same energy but with a more expressive palette. The brand’s roots in New York City culture show through subtle details,. The bold base color makes it impossible to ignore.
This collaboration balances nods to Jordan history with Awake’s signature modern flair, creating something familiar yet fresh. The photos here show a sneaker that isn’t afraid to stand out.
It’s a vibrant new chapter for the AJ5. It proves the silhouette still has room for reinvention even after decades in the spotlight.
