A Legend Reimagined
Awake NY once again proves that streetwear is more than just fashion – it’s history, culture, and art. This time, the brand pays tribute to Gil Scott-Heron, the legendary poet, vocalist, and activist whose work was ahead of its time.
A Collection with a Message
The new Awake NY collection is a capsule inspired by Scott-Heron’s legacy. One standout piece is a hoodie featuring the cover art from The Mind of Gil Scott-Heron, an iconic album that still resonates in the worlds of music and politics. Another highlight is a classic cap with embroidered song titles from Pieces of a Man – undoubtedly one of the most striking pieces in the collection.
Awake NY’s Signature Style
But that’s not all. Awake NY brings back its signature staples with a fresh twist. The collection includes:
-
work jackets for fans of rugged style,
-
jersey tees, perfect for spring days,
-
logo-heavy hoodies that define the brand’s DNA,
-
iconic Real Tree camo prints for those who love a military-inspired vibe.
The most eye-catching piece? A neon, bright blue trench coat with bold graphics. It’s proof that Awake NY isn’t afraid to experiment and always delivers standout streetwear.
