Dave White’s first Air Jordan 1 Retro design was a masterpiece. His American flag-inspired shoes caused a stir at All-Star Weekend, and he mentored kids at Inglewood High School as part of his work with Jordan and WINGS for the Future.

White and Jordan are back again, and the result is the Air Jordan 1 High DW. These kicks feature the iconic Jordan black/sport red-white-cement grey colorway, and even bring in the elephant print on the forefoot laces-strap.

But it’s White’s trademark paint splatter and brush strokes that make this shoe stand out. The brand has also put together a Jordan DW WINGS crew T-shirt to commemorate the release.

The Dave White Air Jordan 1 Retro will be available in North America, Europe and China on February 11, 2012. In celebration of All-Star Week and WINGS, and another run will drop on February 24.

A detailed look at the sneakers, the packaging and the t-shirt follow after the jump.

The Air Jordan 1 ‘Banned’ is a humorous remix of the original black and red Air Jordan 1 that was consistently outlawed at NBA games in the ’80s. To honor their OGs notoriety, the shoe has an “X” on the heel, and various commemorative October 18, 1985 labeling on the interior, indicating the day they were first “thrown out of the game.” The box is marked with “Imagine If…”

Though a general release has yet to be announced, 9000 pairs these sneakers were released today at Nike Factory Stores.

Artist Dave White, best known for his sneaker paintings, teams with Jordan Brand on a limited run Jordan 1s. Curated reports -

These special shoes will go up for auction this weekend – yup, All Star Weekend in LA – and proceeds benefit WINGS for the Future and Inglewood High School in Los Angeles.

Sole Collector met with Dave to discuss the project. Well worth heading here to read the interview. SC will also host the auction.

“This AJ 1 model has an injection-molded foamposite shell, originally used in 1997 on Penny Hardaway’s Foamposite.

A white tongue patch gives a clean canvas to the classic Jumpman logo.”

The sneaker will see a release December 2010.

Just yesterday we showed you the black colorway of the Nike Air Force 1 Foamposite. Here comes an interesting take on the Air Jordan 1, also using a similar upper material and look as the Foamposite – the Air Jordan 1 Armor.

“This type of injection-molded foam upper is finding its way onto more and more models, with the release of the Air Force 1 Foamposite Summer of 2010. The shells on these models are thinner and lighter than you would find on the original Foamposite. The reflective silver on this AJ 1 Armor makes a nice contrast to the Copper Foamposite that released in February of 2010. If those were Penny’s, then these are Silver Dollars. The silver looks even better on top of an icy blue sole.”

Look out for a release of the sneaker November 2010.

More detailed images of it follow after the jump.

After releasing 4 special edition Air Jordan 1’s last year, the Jordan brand decided to mash them all up into one sneaker this season and will be releasing this week the limited edition Air Jordan 1 2K High.

“Last year we released four special colorways of the Air Jordan 1 that paid tribute to the Eastern Conference Foes that MJ had faced time and again throughout his legendary career.

The Jordan Brand worked on two special make-ups of the Air Jordan 1 to celebrate the latest World Championships to be won in their team.

The special Alpha AJ1 Outdoor speaks to CC’s edge and contemporary style while the AJ1 Phat Low speaks to Derek’s refined and sophisticated off-field demeanor. Today as New York plays it’s home opener, they celebrate their first championship in their new stadium and these shoes include details that commemorate the first and last championships of baseball’s most winning organization.”
