The new AWAKE NY x Andrew Downtown collection T-shirt and hoody are inspired by a historic NBA brawl

AWAKE NY - the New York-based brand founded by Angelo Baque, former Supreme brand manager - and Andrew Downtown - skate shop in Miami - still join forces for the launch of the second part of the collection presented last year. The T-shirt features the AWAKE NY logo mixed with the inscription 'Andrew', as a symbol of the partnership between the two, made even more clear by the detail on the back: a photo of the historic brawl between Charles Oakley and Alonzo Mourning in 1997, players of their respective teams in New York and Miami (Knicks and Heat).

The capsules are completed by a grey hoody in which the reference to that iconic clash returns, with the words 'AWAKE 33' on the front and 'ANDREW 33' on the back, both 'broken' in half visually through the colours of the Knicks and Heat. Even the number 33 is not random, but represents the union of the numbers of Oakley and Mourning (34 and 33).

The AWAKE NY x Andrew Downtown collection is available on the Awake website from December 9.
