Awake NY × Converse Star Pro 'A07144C'
Awake NY × Converse Star Pro — Style No. A07144C
The Awake NY × Converse Star Pro is the meeting point between New York City street culture and Converse's basketball heritage. Awake NY — Angelo Baque's Bronx-born brand — brings its community-first ethos and NYC-rooted design sensibility to the Converse Star Pro, a silhouette that traces its lineage back to the courts and playgrounds where the game was invented. The result is a collaboration that feels earned rather than engineered.
The Collaboration
- Awake NY was founded by Angelo Baque, former Creative Director of Supreme, with a focus on New York City community, culture, and authenticity
- The Converse Star Pro is a basketball-inspired silhouette that draws from Converse's deep archive of court footwear — predating the Chuck Taylor in cultural significance on the hardwood
- This collaboration brings Awake NY's NYC street perspective to one of Converse's most underappreciated silhouettes
- Style No.: A07144C

Wear It With
The Awake NY × Converse Star Pro is a collaboration piece that wears like a staple. The low-cut silhouette and clean design make it as versatile as any Converse — pair with denim, cargo pants, or relaxed fits. The co-branding is present but not loud; the shoe signals taste to those who recognize it and reads as a clean low-top to everyone else. New York in a shoe.
