This week’s collaborations are all about embracing an active lifestyle, to explore the diverse environments around the world. Whether it’s immersing yourself in the bustling nightlife scene with collections like Rabanne H&M, embarking on hikes to see new heights with Moncler and Adidas. All while chasing your goals through running with the new Nocta collection, and even enjoying a spirited skate session with friends in the Polo Ralph Lauren and Elements series — these partnerships cater to your desire for experiencing the highs and lows of what lies outside the comfort of your four walls.

1. Polo Ralph Lauren x Element

Five years ago, Awake NY shared a collaboration series with Converse that never made it to light for undisclosed reasons.

Drake and Nike’s Nocta is back with a new collection, this time the rapper is leaning towards one of his iconic lines: “It’s a marathon, not a sprint, but I still gotta win the race,” from his song “Sacrifice”. This collection centers around running gear, including shorts, sunglasses, hair accessories, all while seamlessly blending lifestyle and sportswear.
