Awake NY has been in its West Coast bag as of late. Fresh off the release of its commemorative graphic tee with UNION LA, the "unapologetically New York" imprint continues on its cross-coast run with its first-ever collaboration with Orange County outfitter Badfriend.
The bicoastal delivery finds the two labels connecting over common cultural ground, tapping into their shared Latin roots for the capsule's standout offering: a soccer jersey. Inspired by the jerseys of Liga MX, the duo has served up two colorways – a sleek black/white and a striking red/blue – of a co-branded kit, even equipped with branding from "team sponsor" Tequila Julio.
Elsewhere, Awake NY and Badfriend present a handful of graphics and hoodies, as well as a leather lock-buckle belt and an embroidered New Era 59Fifty hat.
Take a look at the range in the lookbook above, and stop by one of the below pop-ups to cop a piece for yourself. The first 25 purchases in NYC and the first 100 purchases in LA will receive a complimentary pair of Badfriend Star Jeans. The delivery is slated for an online release via Badfriend's webstore shortly thereafter.
August 7 – Awake NY, 62 Orchard St, New York, NY 10002
August 10 – UNION LA, 110 South La Brea Ave. Los Angeles, CA 90036
