The program was designed to help motivate the youth "with the pillars of education, sport and creativity in mind," according to Jordan Brand. The design of the Dave White x Air Jordan 1 Retro 'WINGS For The Future' version brings a really interesting layered look that's not normally seen from the brand. There's several contrasting colors and graphics which includes an elephant skin pattern, [splattered black graphic on white](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/black-toe-version), and [hints of red work](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/true-red-colorway) that meshes well together.
