Awake NY x Jordan 6 Retro ‘Midnight Navy Infrared’ 2026

Awake NY x Jordan 6 Retro ‘Midnight Navy Infrared’ 2026

The Awake NY x Jordan 6 Retro ‘Midnight Navy Infrared’ 2026 brings Angelo Baque’s New York streetwear label to the iconic Jordan 6 silhouette with layered shades of blue, bold Infrared detailing and distinctive co-branded elements. Identified by style code IQ5706-400, the collaboration combines Midnight Navy, Infrared 23, Game Royal and Light Blue across a highly textured upper.

Rather than treating blue as a single-color theme, the design uses multiple shades and materials to separate different sections of the Jordan 6. Game Royal and Light Blue dominate the forefoot and midfoot, while deeper Midnight Navy wraps around the collar and heel. Bright Infrared contrast stitching cuts across the blue construction, creating one of the most recognizable details of the colorway.

Layered Midnight Navy and Game Royal Upper

The upper is built around several complementary shades of blue.

Game Royal nubuck establishes a rich blue foundation through the forefoot, while lighter blue panels introduce contrast around the midfoot. Moving toward the rear of the shoe, Midnight Navy takes over the collar and heel, creating a gradual transition from brighter to darker shades.

This layered approach gives the shoe considerably more depth than a conventional two-tone colorway. Differences in texture also help separate the panels, allowing the construction of the Jordan 6 to remain clearly visible even though the upper stays within the same blue color family.

The result is a colorway where material, texture and tone work together rather than relying on large blocks of unrelated colors.

Infrared 23 Contrast Stitching

One of the defining features of the Awake NY Jordan 6 is the use of Infrared 23 contrast stitching throughout the upper.

The bright stitching traces the edges and construction lines of the blue panels, making details that would normally blend into the upper much more visible. Against Midnight Navy and Game Royal, the Infrared color creates a sharp contrast and gives the shoe a more expressive appearance.

Infrared detailing continues through the branding and lower portion of the shoe, connecting the upper stitching with the midsole design.

Rather than functioning as a small accent color, Infrared becomes an important part of the construction itself, emphasizing the layered architecture of the Jordan 6.

Awake NY “A” Side Panel

The collaboration becomes especially distinctive around the quarter panels.

Awake NY’s signature script “A” logo is incorporated into the perforated side section, replacing a more conventional treatment with a design element directly associated with the New York label.

The translucent and perforated construction around this area introduces another texture to the upper while allowing the Awake branding to become part of the physical structure of the shoe rather than simply appearing as printed graphics.

This detail gives the collaboration an identity that remains recognizable even without looking at the tongue or heel branding.

Co-Branded Tongue and Heel Details

Infrared Jumpman branding appears around the tongue, creating a bright focal point against the surrounding blue materials.

At the rear, Nike Air and Awake NY co-branding further distinguishes the collaboration from a standard Jordan 6 release. The heel construction uses a darker Midnight Navy finish, providing a strong background for the contrasting embroidery.

The combination of Awake’s “A” side panel and the co-branded heel means the collaboration is represented from multiple viewing angles without overwhelming the underlying Jordan 6 silhouette.

Speckled Midsole and Translucent Outsole

Underfoot, a dark midsole anchors the colorful upper and incorporates Infrared speckled detailing that connects visually with the contrast stitching above.

Visible Air cushioning in the heel preserves one of the signature technical elements of the Jordan 6, while translucent sections of the outsole introduce an icy finish underneath.

The combination of a dark midsole, bright speckling and semi-transparent outsole creates another layer of contrast while maintaining the blue-and-Infrared theme established across the upper.

A Distinctive Awake NY Interpretation of the Jordan 6

What makes the Awake NY x Jordan 6 ‘Midnight Navy Infrared’ stand out is the way the collaboration changes the visual character of the Jordan 6 without hiding its original shape.

Multiple shades of blue create depth across the upper, while Infrared stitching highlights the construction lines instead of simply adding another block of color.

Together, the layered blues, bright stitching, distinctive branding and translucent details give the Midnight Navy edition an identity that is clearly separated from conventional Jordan 6 colorways.
