Although many look to Jordan Brand for retro basketball products, specifically Air Jordan Retro releases, the house Michael Jordan built is still at the forefront of performance basketball. With the explosion in popularity around women’s basketball, Jordan Brand received insights from various female athletes to help inform the design of the Jordan Heir, which was introduced in mid-2024. Ahead of the WNBA All-Star rendition dropping in July, we have first looks at a new Game Royal version of the model.
Multiple mesh weaves are present on this game royal, white, and black colorway of the Jordan Heir, starting with a jersey mesh on the toebox. An open-spaced sandwich mesh finds a home on the bottom half of the midfoot, while this, alongside the leather panel on the top half, is reinforced with a royal blue TPU cage. This cage extends back to the heel and onto the upper medial side.
