Awake NY x Air Jordan 5 Retro 'Boro – Arctic Pink' – Borough Soul in the Softest Colorway
Awake NY x Air Jordan 5 Retro 'Boro – Arctic Pink' – Borough Soul in the Softest Colorway
Awake NY x Air Jordan 5 Retro 'Boro – Arctic Pink' – New York Grit Meets Unexpected Softness
The Awake NY x Air Jordan 5 Retro 'Boro – Arctic Pink' is the softer, more unexpected chapter of Angelo Baque's borough-proud collaboration with Jordan Brand. Where the Racer Blue spoke with volume, the Arctic Pink whispers with confidence — a muted, cool pink palette that channels New York City's quieter, more nuanced side while staying every bit as culturally significant. Two colorways. One borough spirit. Completely different energy.

The Other Side of the Boro
New York City is loud and quiet. Aggressive and tender. Gritty and beautiful. The 'Boro – Arctic Pink' captures the side of the city that doesn't always make the headlines — the creativity, the softness, the unexpected color that turns a corner in Brooklyn or Queens and stops you cold. Awake NY and Jordan Brand created two 'Boro' colorways because the city contains multitudes, and the Arctic Pink is proof that borough pride doesn't always have to shout.
Soft color. Strong city. The Awake NY x Air Jordan 5 'Boro – Arctic Pink' is New York's quieter side, just as proud.
