New York based streetwear label, Awake, dropped their newest Jordan Brand collab, this time releasing two colourways of the Air Jordan 5. I got my hands on the more accessible “Racer Blue” pair, which features a premium black leather upper and lots of special touches that make this a truly unique collaboration.

Undefeated x Air Jordan 4 Retro “Deep Green / Clementine” (2025) Review
One of the biggest Air Jordan grails of all time has returned to celebrate its 20th anniversary. The UNDFTD x Air Jordan 4 was the first ever Air Jordan collaboration, releasing 72 pairs in 2005. The two have come back together to release these once again, and my latest video has you covered on all you need to know!
Air Jordan 12 Retro “French Blue” (2025) Review
One of the best non-OG colourways of the Air Jordan 12 has returned! The “French Blue” 12s first dropped in 2004, but this year’s retro marks the third time they’ve been given a public release. Featuring tumbled white leather with blue and silver accents, these are a beautiful colourway – but how does the rest of the shoe hold up? Tune into my video for an in-depth breakdown!
Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG “Shattered Backboard” (2025) Review
Considered a grail for many when it comes to Air Jordan 1 non-original colourways, the “Shattered Backboard” colourway is back ten years after they originally released in 2015. This pair pays homage to Michael Jordan shattering a backboard during a Nike exhibition basketball game in Trieste, Italy. Check out my review to see how these stack up compared to the OGs and to see how they are on feet. Anyone grabbing these when they drop on August 23rd?
Air Jordan 4 Retro “Rare Air” Review
The Air Jordan 4 takes centre stage in Jordan Brand’s Rare Air series. Inspired by samples and prototypes that don’t make the cut, these Jordan 4s feature a nubuck and suede upper, with hits of blue and red, along with a velco patch on the tongue for a unique spin. Tune into my video to learn all you need to know about this fun pair!
Air Jordan 8 Retro “Aqua” (2025) Review
Arguably the most beloved colourway of the Air Jordan 8 is back after a decade since it last retroed. The “Aqua” Air Jordan 8 dropped this past weekend, with a black nubuck upper, grey suede overlays, and of course – the retro flavoured aqua and purple accents throughout. Check out my review of this long awaited return and to see how they are on feet! Anyone else grab these?
Air Jordan 40 “The Classic” Review
The 40th signature model from Michael Jordan is here. The Air Jordan 40 just dropped in its debut colourway called “The Classic”. Featuring a sleek and sophisticated design, it’s crafted using premium materials and incorporates callbacks to many of the previous signature models that came before it. Check out my review for an in-depth casual user’s perspective! Anyone else as excited for these as I am?
Air Jordan 3 Retro “Pure Money” (2025) Review
This classic from 2007 is back! The “Pure Money” Air Jordan 3 returned last week in full family sizing, featuring a clean blank slate of white tumbled leather, patent leather, and elephant print debossed nubuck. Tune into the review for an in-depth breakdown and to see them on feet! Can you say, perfect summer shoe?
Air Jordan 5 Retro “Grape” (2025) Review
It’s been a while, but Jordan Brand has finally brought back the beloved “Grape” Air Jordan 5. Last seen in OG form in 2013, this 2025 retro is as close to the original ’90 release as we’ve seen, with an improved shape, genuine white leather along the upper, and the signature purple and teal tones. Tune into my review for a closer look and to see how these are on feet!
