Awake NY and Air Jordan 6 Team Up to Mark the Sneaker's 35th Anniversary

Awake NY is extending its partnership with Jordan Brand with a new project built on the Air Jordan 6, marking 35 years since the model tied to Michael Jordan's first NBA championship. Following the success of its Air Jordan 5 collaboration in 2025, the New York label founded by Angelo Baque returns with two distinct colorways, each leaning into its own color story.

The first pair, "Midnight Navy," pairs deep navy tones with Infrared 23, Game Royal, and light blue accents. The second, "Playful Pink," shifts into a pink-driven palette built around Playful Pink, Shy Pink, and Arctic Pink, giving it a brighter, more youthful energy than its navy counterpart.

Design-wise, both pairs use nubuck across the toe and forefoot, a nod to the original "Infrared" Air Jordan 6 from 1991. Awake NY's signature "A" logo appears on the reflective side panels, while the overlays and heel are finished in Saffiano leather, a detail that references the designer bags and accessories tied to Canal Street's bootleg culture. Red contrast stitching runs throughout the upper, and the outsole keeps the familiar Infrared color blocking with added speckled detailing for a subtle twist.
