Awake NY and Jordan Brand are releasing their third sneaker project together with their two-shoe Air Jordan 6 collection that arrives in August.
The latest collab between the NY-based streetwear label and Michael Jordan’s namesake brand includes two vibrant iterations of MJ’s sixth signature model, which features the pink-based “Bubblegum” colorway as well as the “Blueberry” makeup. The sneakers pay homage to the rich history of the model by incorporating the classic infrared accents used on the OG colorways, while also injecting NY-inspired design language through the materials and accents.
Ahead of its release next week, here’s everything you need to know about the Awake NY x Air Jordan 6 collabs.
