The Jordan Heir 02 “Black/University” marks a sharp visual shift from its predecessor, signaling a new direction for the Jordan Heir line.
While the original leaned minimal, this update feels more structured and technical. A slimmer TPU frame with triangular cutouts reshapes the side profile, while mesh and canvas balance breathability and durability. Compared to the earlier model, the Heir 02 basketball shoe sits slightly taller and adds collar padding, suggesting a stronger focus on stability.
At the heel, a TPU spoiler adds personality, paired with on-court storage ties. The biggest upgrade lands underfoot, where an Air Zoom basketball sneaker setup appears in the forefoot, visible through the semi-translucent outsole. That shift alone elevates its status as a modern performance hoop shoe.
The Jordan Heir 02 “Black/University” arrives Spring 2026 at Nike.com and select Jordan Brand retailers.
