FAQs

What is the significance of the "A" logo on these sneakers?

The "A" logo is a distinctive branding element of Awake NY, representing the collaboration and replacing traditional Jordan Brand logos for a unique, exclusive aesthetic.

How do these differ from a standard Air Jordan Air Ship release?

This edition features Awake NY branding instead of Nike Air/Wings logos, a specific Sail/Game Royal colorway with unique snakeskin accents, a Metallic Platinum Swoosh, and premium materials, making it a distinct collaborative release.

Can I wear these sneakers for basketball or other sports?

While the Air Ship has basketball roots, this specific collaborative release is designed as a lifestyle and fashion sneaker. It is not intended for performance basketball or rigorous athletic activities.

What kind of socks should I wear with these?

We recommend wearing breathable, moisture-wicking socks to ensure comfort and help maintain the shoe's interior hygiene. Both no-show and crew socks can complement the style.

When was this particular "Game Royal" edition released?

This "Game Royal" edition of the Air Jordan x Awake NY Air Ship was launched in Fall 2024 as the second collaboration between the brands.

How should I store these sneakers to preserve them?

Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain the shape of the leather, and keeping them in their original box or a breathable shoe bag can protect them from dust.

Troubleshooting

The leather appears dull or dirty.

Gently clean with a soft, damp cloth and a specialized leather cleaner for sneakers. Follow up with a leather conditioner to restore shine and suppleness.

Snakeskin accents look worn or discolored.

Avoid harsh cleaning. Use a very lightly damp, soft cloth to dab clean. The texture is delicate and vigorous scrubbing can cause damage. Consider a protective spray designed for exotic materials if available.

Squeaking sound when walking.

Often caused by insoles rubbing against the shoe's interior. Try removing and reinserting insoles. A light sprinkle of baby powder under the insole can also help reduce friction and noise.

Foot discomfort or rubbing.

Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks. If the fit is tight, consider breaking them in with short periods of wear. If discomfort persists, consult a sizing guide or an expert, though for a UK 11 this is likely a fit issue rather than a defect.

Scuffs or minor scratches on the leather.

For light scuffs, try gently buffing with a soft cloth. For deeper scratches, a specialized leather scratch repair cream or professional leather restoration might be needed.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Unique Design: Features exclusive branding and material combinations not found on standard Air Jordan releases.
  • Collector's Item: The collaborative nature and limited release make it highly desirable for collectors.
  • Premium Materials: Constructed with quality leather and distinctive accents for a luxurious feel.
  • Versatile Style: The classic silhouette with modern touches allows for diverse styling options.
  • Comfortable Fit: Built on a proven Air Ship design known for everyday wearability.

Cons

  • Specific Aesthetic: The unique design elements, like snakeskin and specific branding, may not appeal to everyone.
  • Limited Availability: As a special collaboration, these sneakers might be harder to acquire at retail price.
  • Leather Care Required: The premium leather upper necessitates proper care to maintain its condition.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Initial Setup

  1. Unboxing: Carefully remove the sneakers from their packaging. Inspect for any manufacturing defects or shipping damage.
  2. Try-On: Wear them indoors on a clean surface to confirm the fit. Ensure there's adequate toe room and that the shoe feels comfortable without pinching.
  3. Lacing: Lace them according to your preference. Many opt for a looser lacing for casual wear or a snugger fit if desired.

Compatibility

  • Sizing: These are Men's UK size 11. Refer to standard UK sizing charts if converting from other regions. Always check for a comfortable fit.
  • Wardrobe: Highly compatible with various casual and semi-casual outfits. Their unique design pairs well with both modern streetwear and classic casual attire. The blue and sail colorway offers versatility.
  • Occasion: Best suited for casual outings, social gatherings, or as a fashion statement piece rather than for athletic activities.

Product Care

The Air Jordan x Awake NY Air Ship features a leather upper and distinctive accents. Proper care will help maintain its appearance and longevity:

  1. Cleaning the Leather: Gently wipe the Sail leather upper with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a dedicated leather cleaner suitable for sneakers. Apply with a soft brush or cloth and follow product instructions.
  2. Protecting the Snakeskin Accents: The Royal Blue snakeskin ankle collars and Swoosh trim require gentle handling. Avoid harsh scrubbing. A soft, damp cloth is usually sufficient for cleaning.
  3. Swoosh Care: The Metallic Platinum Swoosh can be cleaned with a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive materials that could scratch its finish.
  4. Sole Cleaning: Use a brush (like an old toothbrush) with mild soap and water to clean the rubber outsoles and midsoles.
  5. Drying: Always air dry sneakers away from direct sunlight or heat sources. Stuff them with paper towels to help absorb moisture and maintain their shape.
  6. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain the shape of the leather.
  7. Protection: Consider using a water and stain repellent spray specifically designed for leather to add an extra layer of protection against elements and spills.
