Oh, and they're stamped with the brand's signature "A," which also appeared on its previous Jordan collabs.Awake NY's Jordan 6 honestly looks unreal. And that's the point. The collaborative sneaker draws inspiration from bootleg culture, which started in the streets and was later adopted by big luxury brands.Your Highsnobiety privacy settings have blocked this Instagram post.Nike's Jordan 6 pretty much tells the same story but in a different format. It's a street-ready sneaker that looks unofficial (but it is), wrapped in top-notch materials and solid colorways.And the Awake NY x Jordan 6 collab will finally drop on August 24 on the brand's website, alongside collaborative tracksuits, polos, and graphics tees.It's worth pointing out that the signature Jordan model turns 35 this year.
