The Shuyu Yang x Jordan Heir Releases Exclusively in China

Published August 30, 2024

Jordan Brand continues to make significant strides in promoting women's basketball, reflecting its commitment to championing athletes across the globe. With the rising popularity of the WNBA and the global impact of women in sports, Jordan Brand has expanded its focus, developing footwear designed specifically for female athletes. Among these innovations is the Jordan Heir, a women's focused performance basketball model unveiled during the 2024 WNBA All-Star festivities. The Jordan Heir is set to make its debut later this year. In a special nod to international talent, Jordan Brand has teamed up with Chinese basketball star Shuyu Yang for an exclusive colorway of this anticipated model.

The Shuyu Yang x Jordan Heir brings a blend of style and performance. The sneaker's upper features a mix of mesh materials, with sail hues dominating the toe and lower midfoot, creating a sleek and refined look. Reinforcing these areas are leather overlays that add durability and support. A standout feature is the large white TPU panel, which covers portions of the vamp, midfoot, and heel, adding a modern touch to the design. The sneaker's tongue hosts split branding, with the iconic Jumpman on the right and Shuyu Yang's branding on the left, emphasizing the collaborative nature of this release. The heel pull tabs carry inspirational phrases, with Be The Best on the left pair and Beat The Best on the right, reflecting Yang's competitive spirit. The look is completed with a white foam midsole for cushioning and a marbled rubber outsole that provides traction on the court.

The Shuyu Yang x Jordan Heir W will release during the Holiday 2024 season exclusively in China through Nike and select Jordan Brand retailers. Available in women’s sizing, the retail price is set at $110.
