This year marks the 35th anniversary of the Air Jordan 6, the shoe Michael Jordan wore when he won his first NBA championship. To celebrate, Jordan Brand is teaming up with streetwear brand Awake NY – following their popular Air Jordan 5 collaboration – to release a new two-sneaker pack. The pack, which includes the Air Jordan 6 in “Midnight Navy” and “Playful Pink” colorways, was previewed in Awake NY’s Spring/Summer 2026 collection and through recent leaks, and is expected to be one of the most hyped releases of late summer and fall.

Awake NY’s latest collaboration showcases impressive attention to texture and color. This “Midnight Navy” version features a layered design with various shades of blue. Deep navy colors are used on the collar and heel, while lighter blues highlight the midfoot, laces, and supportive areas. Soft suede adds a luxurious feel, making the sneaker look and feel high-quality. Bright infrared stitching and details provide a striking contrast against the overall blue color scheme.

Awake NY is continuing its collaboration with Jordan Brand, and recent leaks have confirmed a second colorway, dubbed “Playful Pink.” Following the success of their pink Air Jordan 5, this new AJ6 features a similar layered suede design, but swaps the blue tones for a bright, energetic pink. It retains the signature Infrared details and Awake NY’s “A” logo, bringing a bold, contemporary New York vibe to the classic 90s basketball shoe. Both colorways share a black and Infrared midsole with a translucent icy outsole.

Awake NY has designed two new Air Jordan 6s that combine classic basketball style with the feel of New York City streetwear. These shoes connect the history of the game with today’s fashion. The “Playful Pink” colorway will be released in late August, and the “Midnight Navy” version will follow in September.
