Dave White x Air Jordan 1 ‘WINGS For The Future’ – Available on eBay

Dave White x Air Jordan 1 WINGS For The Future   Available on eBay

Jordan Brand originally teamed up with UK artist Dave White for a special make-up of the Air Jordan 1 in February of 2011, where 23 pairs of a the AJ1 designed in sublime DW fashion would be auctioned off for charity. This gold-tipped USA-inspired colorway was one of the most talked about sneakers of the year, as the entire auction event drew in over $23,000 for the Jordan Brand WINGS For The Future charity. With just 23 pairs in existence, the value of these rarities have climbed in tandem with the rise in the general popularity of Air Jordans, so a look back at the final twenty-three winning bids tells you that these were sold at a ‘bargain’ of sorts (an average of just over $1,000 per pair). In fact, the two size 10.5s that were auctioned off sole at $1,000 and $1,197. Refresh your memory with these one-of-23s below by checking out the gallery, and see what the asking price for a size 10.5 is today by clicking through to this listing from depeche23mode on eBay.

Roughly one year later, a general release version hit stores and immediately sold out – just see how many people lined up at NikeTown NYC to clear out whatever they had in stock. It was a snowy Saturday morning in New York City, but the weather didn’t stop those in line to lace up in some nice kicks like the Air Jordan IV Doernbecher and the Metallic Red Foams, so check out the release recap courtesy of FRESHNESS and pick up a pair of your own Dave Whites now on eBay.

Air Jordan III ‘Dave White’ Customs by Mache

Air Jordan III Dave White Customs by Mache

Colorway ‘sampling’ is undoubtedly the biggest trend in custom sneakers these days, and those at the head of the class have progressed all the way to imitating complex designs like the ‘Nerf’ Zoom KD IV and Kobe VII ‘Leopard’.  The latest pair is arguably the most complex yet, because not only is it incredibly demanding to replicate an innovative artist’s unique handcrafted style, but also perhaps equally as difficult to blend that application seamlessly with another model’s inextricable signature elements.  That’s what make’s Mache‘s Air Jordan III ’’ customs so impressive, and this new arrangement of the familiar Chicago Bulls colors proves this quarter-century veteran still can still shock us after all these years.  Click through for more angles and let us know if these are the best color-swap customs we’ve seen here on Sneaker News.
