We’re used to seeing denim appear on retro Jordan models like the AJ1 and AJ4, but it’s not every day that we see the Jumpamn jean-ify its modern stable of hoops shoes. For Fall 2025, Jordan Brand is bringing denim to hardwood through an all-new Jordan Heir style, shown here via official images.
While usually comprised of different mesh types, the lower half of upper is here cut from “Work Blue” denim material. White leather comes in around the forefoot and eyelets, matched by padded white canvas around the collar. The TPU structure appears in white with “Hydrogen Blue/Metallic Silver” detailing, complemented by more gold hits on the heel tabs and tongue patches.
Denim versions of modern-day Jordan models aren’t unprecedented (as seen multiple times on Jayson Tatum shoes), but there’s something undeniably off-beat about the lifestyle-leaning textile appearing on a performance shoe. Whether that’s a good or bad thing is for you to decide.
