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.

Earlier this week we had the opportunity to visit the Nike Campus in Beaverton, Oregon for Jordan Brand’s Holiday 2011 Flight Forum. Centered on the latest footwear developments for Jordan’s star players Chris Paul, Carmelo Anthony and Dwyane Wade, Jordan gave a select group of media a first peak at the CP3.V, Fly Wade 2 and Melo M8 signature shoes. Rounding out the unveiling were several new CP, Melo and Wade endorsed sneakers as well as a full range of forthcoming Jordan brand apparel.

As part of the event, we also had the opportunity to wear test some of these shoes in Nike’s Bo Jackson gym. The most comfortable and responsive for this editor’s (admittedly amateur) style of play were the Melo M8s, as pictured above.

Have a look in our gallery as we “Fly Around, Fly Over and Fly Through” some highlights from the Jordan Holiday 2011 collection. Two shots to note outside of what’s mentioned above are the Carbon Fiber Jordan 2011s (for Jordan family only) and a portrait of legendary Nike designer Mark Smith.

Here’s a one for the Jordan heads. Certainly a “love em or hate em” release, Jordan Brand will retro the AJ III in an all-black “flip” variant, a nod to the 2007 white version – the sneaker that first flipped the elephant print and leather from the upper to the toe and vice versa. Check your local spot in the coming weeks.

The Jordan 6 Rings Winterized is back for September 2011 in a clean Khaki/Imperial Blue, Olive Khaki and Marakesh colorway. Having had the opportunity to wear test a pair last year through a Canadian winter (and subsequently having them stolen), we can attest that the Jordan 6 Rings Winterized are more than ready for whatever you’re able throw at them. That is, besides leaving them unattended in the hallway of a sketchy apartment building.

We like these cause they look a bit like Space Jams. They’re also the first performance shoe from Jordan to offer Flywire technology. This black and white colorway will be out on Wednesday, June 1, 2011 at select New York City retailers.

Jordan presents the 6-17-23 sneaker in a Black/Varsity Red-Cement Grey colorway. The red, clear and speckled grey accents over a mainly black upper make these, by far, our favorite look for this hybrid style to date. Those interested should be prepared for a June 11, 2011 release.

This month, Jordan Brand announced the release of the Jordan Jeter Cut, the 10th signature model for New York Yankee shortstop Derek Jeter. Octavio Lubrano, Senior Footwear Designer for Jordan Brand, says of the shoe, “My goal when creating this shoe was to enable Derek to train in a lighter shoe that provided improved natural motion. For us, Derek is the face of training. There’s a reason why he has 10 signature shoes and is still competing on the highest level and it starts with his dedication to training.”

In our opinion, the Jordan Jeter Cut is the strongest Jumpman trainer to date. The White/Pitch Black/Metallic Silver version is available now. A Black/White model arrives in June of 2011, and a Graphite/Stealth hits stores in July 2011.

Head to the jump to view all three colorways and read Lubrano’s “5 things you need to know about the Jordan Jeter Cut.”
