The 35th anniversary of the AJ6 continues to deliver heat from Michael Jordan’s first championship silhouette. Matching the collaborative energy of 2025’s Jordan 5 rollout is the Awake NY x Air Jordan 6 “Midnight Navy” (Style Code: IQ5706-400).
This latest Air Jordan 6 surfaced on social media just ahead of the PSG AJ6 release and little more than a week after the “Infrared Salesman” sample hit SNKRS — further fueling what’s shaping up to be a loaded year for the silhouette.
While 2026 Air Jordan 6 releases like the “Cap and Gown” and “BIN 23” have dominated the spotlight, the Awake NY “Midnight Navy” reminds sneaker fans that collaborations still reign supreme.

When Awake NY and Jordan Brand link up, heat is guaranteed — but so is controversy.
What Happened Last Time
If the Awake NY AJ5 release taught sneaker fans anything, it’s to expect chaos. The collaboration received national attention not just for its hype, but for how it was handled. Reports of backdoored pairs flooded social media, securing the “Racer Blue” or “Bubblegum Pink” colorways proved nearly impossible, and resale prices quickly soared well beyond retail — with some sizes pushing past $400 within days of release.

With that memory still fresh, sneaker fans are hoping the Awake NY “Midnight Navy” Air Jordan 6 rights the wrongs of the past. In addition to the blue-hued iteration, Sneaker Bar Detroit reports that a “Shy Pink” version will release later this year.
Here’s what we know about the navy pair.
Release Details and What We Know
According to early reports, the Awake NY x Air Jordan 6 “Midnight Navy” is expected to release in Fall 2026 under style code IQ5706-400 for $230. The slightly elevated price aligns with other limited collaboration drops. The Midnight Navy/Infrared 23-Game Royal-Light Blue colorway will be available via Nike SNKRS and select Jordan Brand retailers upon release.
History suggests demand will once again outweigh supply.

Awake NY Reworks a 1991 Icon
Tinker Hatfield’s race car–inspired Air Jordan 6 receives a modern reimagining courtesy of New York City–based boutique Awake NY. The “Midnight Navy” blends layered blue hues with a masterclass in co-branding, as the Awake “A,” Jumpman midfoot logo and Jumpman heel branding are intentionally placed across the reworked 1991 silhouette.
Premium suede, perforated paneling, a visible Air unit, and the signature interior bootie remain — delivering the comfort and feel we expect, wrapped in an aesthetic that feels entirely new.
