Jordan line is redefining its basketball offerings with the launch of the Heir Series, a silhouette that emphasizes performance insights drawn from the women’s game, empowering athletes across the board. Central to this release is a design philosophy that places running and cutting – fundamental elements of women’s basketball – at the core of the shoe’s performance, catering to the demands of modern athletes worldwide.

SNEAKERS

The Jordan Heir Series is the lowest-profile shoe within Jordan’s basketball lineup, ensuring a close-to-the-ground experience essential for dynamic movements on the court. With roots tracing back to the 1998 women’s Air Jordan OG, this silhouette is part of a broader narrative where Jordan continues to prioritize female athletes. Over the years, the brand’s commitment has evolved, creating shoes for star athletes like Maya Moore while also introducing specialized editions such as the Air Jordan 37 and 38.

At its essence, the Heir Series breaks down gendered boundaries in sportswear. By drawing from women’s playstyles, the shoe reflects the growing influence of female athletes on the sport’s evolution. Rhyne Howard, a guard for the Atlanta Dream and Jordan athlete, highlights the shift: “This shoe allows us to leverage our understanding of how women play to create products that can benefit all athletes and push the entire sport landscape forward.”

Functionality takes precedence in the Heir Series. Feedback from Jordan’s roster of female athletes inspired a layered construction that combines a drop-in Cushlon 3.0 midsole with exterior foam for enhanced ground feel and responsiveness. The flexible cage surrounding the shoe provides structural support while also addressing ankle safety – an injury concern often observed among women athletes. A herringbone traction pattern further enhances grip, promoting quick directional shifts with precision and control.

Beyond its technical merits, the Heir Series embraces storytelling through colorways designed to resonate with diverse audiences. The “Main Character” edition channels the bold energy of female fans and athletes with vivid patterns and daring motifs. Meanwhile, the “Her Collective” colorway integrates favorite shades chosen by the women of the Jordan Brand Family, celebrating individuality within a collective spirit. An exclusive “YSY” edition pays tribute to Chinese athlete Yang Shuyu, bringing a global perspective to the design.

Kiki Rice, a standout athlete from UCLA, reflects on the significance of the collaboration: “Being able to contribute to the design and feel of this shoe is something I don’t take for granted. I love the aesthetic and think the color blocking lends itself to be a great vehicle for storytelling and advancing the women’s game.”

The Heir Series marks an intentional evolution within Jordan’s legacy, signaling a future where basketball footwear aligns with the needs and aspirations of all athletes. Now available on jordan.com and select retailers, the Heir Series offers a dynamic, inclusive take on performance footwear.
