About this product
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.

Awake NY's New York DNA
Angelo Baque built Awake NY on the principles of authenticity, community, and creative integrity — values that resonate deeply with Jordan Brand's own heritage. The collaboration brings two legacy-minded brands together around a shared commitment to craft and culture, producing a shoe that feels entirely genuine rather than commercially calculated.
