Angelo Baque’s work is shaped by a long term commitment to culture and local community. Through Awake NY, he has used fashion as a way to build real world connection, from neighborhood focused moments like the Jordan 5 release and park jam to projects grounded in shared heritage such as the Mitad Del Mundo capsule created with PSG and Willian Pacho.

His collaborations move beyond clothing into music and retail through partnerships with Universal Music Group, reflecting a way of thinking that moves across scenes instead of fixed categories. Alongside this, Baque continues to create space for reflection and gathering through initiatives like the Free Peace Awake NY Meditation Club at the Orchard Street store.

Quieter gestures, including the early preview of a friends and family Timberland collaboration, point to a practice shaped by patience and intention, an approach that keeps people at the center, using design as a tool to support and sustain community over time.
