Awake NY has been one of New York City’s most sought-after streetwear brands for years now, and that demand isn’t restricted to the retail side of things. After selling out packs of Air Ships and Air Jordan 5s, the Jumpman is opening its eyes again for a new collection of Awake NY Air Jordan 6s.
The Awake NY x Air Jordan 6 Blueberry is a study in blue across the entire upper. Starting with Game Royal blue nubuck on the toe, a Light Blue color is added to the structural support and the perforated panel in the middle, and finally, the heel switches to a rough, protected panel in dark Midnight Navy. A shiny satin blue color is added to the tongue stabilizer in the middle of the shoe, and Awake NY branding is added to the lateral side panels, just like the 5s.
The Jumpman on the stabilizer is Infrared 23 red to match the midsole and heel tab accents, while the rest of the midsole goes black for some stark contrast with translucent hits beneath the Infrared. On the heel sits Awake NY and Nike co-branding, which merges the iconic Nike Air logo with Awake’s. In addition to the Blueberry colorway, a Bubblegum Pink pair will join the collab two-pack.
The Awake NY x Air Jordan 6 Retro Blueberry will be released August 23, 2026 through an EQL via Awake NY, followed by a global retailer release on August 29. A first-come, first-served release will take place on August 26 at Kids of Immigrants' flagship store in Los Angeles. Available in adult sizing, the retail price is set at $230.
