Jordan Brand Heir Series 2 Is Built for the Speed of Women’s Hoops

Jordan Brand aren’t tiptoeing around the women’s game – they’re building for it. The Heir Series 2 arrives as the next chapter in the Jumpman's women-led basketball lineage, pushing performance design forward while keeping things fast, light, and modern.

Developed with direct input from elite athletes like Napheesa Collier, the Heir Series 2 is tuned for players who live off quick reads, sharp cuts, and relentless pace. Instead of chasing bulky cushioning or maximalist tooling, Jordan Brand doubles down on court feel, containment, and responsiveness – a formula that mirrors how today’s women’s game is actually played.

Underfoot, a forefoot Air Zoom unit supplies pop where it counts, while a beefed-up drop-in Cushlon 3.0 midsole delivers smoother transitions and improved step-in comfort. A translucent TPU containment cage wraps the foot for stability without adding dead weight, and a full-rubber herringbone traction pattern keeps things locked in when it’s time to hit the brakes or change direction.

There are smart lifestyle touches too, including a removable hair tie at the heel – a small detail, but one that speaks volumes about designing with real players in mind.

Set to launch February 20 via Jordan Brand and select retailers, the Heir Series 2 is a purpose-built performance tool for women hoopers, and another signal that Jordan Brand’s future is still very much focused on the women's game.
