Awake NY is set to unleash its unique touch on the Jordan Air Ship, joining the league of collaborative releases. Designed in 1984 by Bruce Kilgore, the shoe marked an evolution from the Air Force 1 and gained fame as Michael Jordan’s inaugural NBA basketball footwear.
This exclusive Awake NY edition showcases a White/Sail leather upper. Notably, Gym Red and Game Royal accents diverge on the right and left shoe, complemented by snakeskin detailing around the collar. Metallic Silver Swooshes, Awake NY’s distinctive “A” logo on an aged midsole, and a semi-translucent outsole round out the stylish design. Additionally, a metal Jumpman hangtag accompanies the shoe, packaged uniquely for added allure.
