Inspired by Spike Lee’s Mars Blackmon character, the silhouette fuses elements from several iconic Jordan sneakers. The return of the Son of Mars Low speaks to how Jordan Brand leans on nostalgia while bringing back fan favorites.
The hybrid design pulls from classics like the Jordan 3, Jordan 4, Jordan 5, Jordan 6, and Jordan 20. While hybrids often divide opinions, the Son of Mars Low built a loyal following thanks to its bold styling and connection to Spike Lee.
Michael Jordan’s sneakers have always carried weight far beyond the court. They’ve told stories of performance, culture, and creativity. The Son of Mars Low added another chapter by blending history into one shoe.
Seeing pairs return now reminds fans of the experimental energy that shaped Jordan Brand in the 2000s and 2010s. Official images show details like elephant print, bold overlays, and pops of red.
The pairs pictured reflect the same loud presence the model became known for. With four colorways lined up, 2026 is shaping up to be a strong year for hybrid Jordans.
