Get ready for a Summer blockbuster in 2012 – Jordan Brand’s got something new for ya. Jordan Brand will release the Jordan Son Of Mars, which combines primary elements from the Air Jordan III, V, VI, and XX, in a number of colorways. We’ve already seen a ‘Bred’ version as well as a White/Cement colorway, but here’s a look at a new ‘Club Purple’ version that resembles the ‘Grape’ due to the purple outsole. The success of multi-Air Jordan hybrids like the Air Jordan Spiz’ike and Jordan Six Rings has sprouted an all-new design concept of Air Jordans, but there have been a few ‘misses’ like the Rare Air and 6-17-23. Is the Son Of Mars a hit? Check out both colorways below and stick with Sneaker News for more updates and info. via MN.

October 17th, 2011 at 5:20 pm
the 6-17-23 was a little much, but it at least had some consistency, this is just a mess, it looks more like a collage than a sneaker
October 17th, 2011 at 5:27 pm
lol these look like yeezys
October 17th, 2011 at 5:28 pm
All I can say now is that it looks alot better than the trash they've been putting out lately lol. Need more pics.

October 17th, 2011 at 5:41 pm
Jordan yeezy
October 17th, 2011 at 5:44 pm
why would they use the og material of the VI on these and not on the black varsity or infrared pack, smh! That's what it looks like to me on the black version
October 17th, 2011 at 5:45 pm
Turrible
October 17th, 2011 at 5:46 pm
holy fucking mama , ave maria !!!!!!!!!!!
October 17th, 2011 at 5:47 pm
well just like the Spizikes, i didnt like them at first. i let them grow on me. im not in love w these, but the Black pair has potential.
October 17th, 2011 at 5:47 pm
WTF JORDAN BRAND!!!! They really need to start hiring. I'm going to submit my resume asap to save this department!
October 17th, 2011 at 5:50 pm
Better than 6-17-23's. Just not something I'd put on my feet.
October 17th, 2011 at 5:56 pm
terrible
October 17th, 2011 at 5:58 pm
What kinda shit is this!!? Certified GARBAGE!!!
October 17th, 2011 at 6:06 pm

October 17th, 2011 at 6:08 pm
NO WAY
October 17th, 2011 at 6:14 pm
LMAO@ holy santa clause s***. man I needed that laugh!
October 17th, 2011 at 6:18 pm
JB needs to stop combining shoes together the spizike and the six rings makes sense but these dont. wheres the 4's on these they should call it "the spizke remix".
October 17th, 2011 at 6:22 pm
Please stop with the hybrids, the fusions, the wack colours on retro releases. Just stop it already!!
October 17th, 2011 at 6:30 pm
I WOULD COP THE PURPLE ONES IF THEY DID NOT HAVE THE VELCRO STRAP.
October 17th, 2011 at 6:30 pm
trash truck juice
October 17th, 2011 at 6:43 pm
SWEET BABY JESUS
October 17th, 2011 at 6:44 pm
i was just thinking the same, up to the point where 6-17-23.
October 17th, 2011 at 6:45 pm
Spikes are super nice, these are so wack… looks like something fakes would come up with, and i should know, my country doesnt have real Jordans, and i live here.
October 17th, 2011 at 6:48 pm
somewhere, Mars is crying.
October 17th, 2011 at 6:52 pm
Sorry, but this design does not flow. Looks like a puzzle where someone tried to make peices fit
October 17th, 2011 at 6:55 pm
This defines … FAIL
October 17th, 2011 at 6:57 pm
These are way better than 6-17-23's…Look like JB connect with YEEZYs lol…But SON OF MARS are DOPE….Liking the BLACK CW…Copping
October 17th, 2011 at 6:59 pm
Im going by what the picture looks like. It doesn't look like swede. Just my opinion
October 17th, 2011 at 7:03 pm
`I really dont want to like these but the lack of a grape 5 in my life is really making me want the white pair lol i just cant stop looking my mouth is saying ugly but my mind n my boooodddyyyy is telling me yeeaaahhhhaaa lol #Rkelly
October 17th, 2011 at 7:03 pm
WHY??? cant you guys just release a good cw of a spi'ike and be done shit
October 17th, 2011 at 7:07 pm
DO YOU KNO? DO YOU KNOW? DO YOU KNOW? YEAH I DO KNOW THAT I WILL STICK WITHE SPI'Z'IKES…..
October 17th, 2011 at 7:22 pm
Maybe the world will end in 2012 these must be a sign haha
October 17th, 2011 at 7:23 pm
I'm really sick and tired of all the "let's throw all our old shoes in a blender, and see what we come up with" kicks from Nike.
October 17th, 2011 at 7:26 pm
the 'grape' ones look sexy!
October 17th, 2011 at 7:27 pm
If this shoe were a song, it would be Diddy, in autotune.
October 17th, 2011 at 7:28 pm
I didn't think that it could get any worse but these just broke the record for ugly, useless, piece of crap shoe.
October 17th, 2011 at 7:29 pm
Nice colors!!! Thats about it!!
October 17th, 2011 at 7:41 pm
NO MORE FUSIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
October 17th, 2011 at 7:42 pm
Cant they shell out some loot and get a real designer to design a new JB sneaker from the ground up, yeah wade's shoe was ok but all these team shoes and combos and fusions would not have flied back in the rookie card days of the OG J's. get some new ideas instead of ruining what the old ones stood for.
October 17th, 2011 at 7:50 pm
I'm coming for the grapes…just nedd more pics.
October 17th, 2011 at 7:54 pm
they look ok.. dont like da strap frum da 20's on there tho
October 17th, 2011 at 8:01 pm
they look like one of them fake jordan hybrids u see broke ppl wear
October 17th, 2011 at 8:05 pm
damn. thats what up.
October 17th, 2011 at 8:24 pm
Theyre actually OK, i would have to see them in person. I used to love spizikes, but like they always do…….overkill on the colorways. Wayyyyyy to many releases. They lost their excusivity. When the spizikes first came out they were almost impossible to get and they were actually different. Now with all the hybrids and too many colorways, Its like blah blah blah. They seriously need to cut down on all the mediocre releases.
October 17th, 2011 at 8:29 pm
I think they look pretty koo… if u got swagg u kan make any shoe look good… especially jordans…and plus judge a shoe in person not on a the internet
October 17th, 2011 at 8:41 pm
real lose fake win
October 17th, 2011 at 8:42 pm
Lol. It's cool, u don't gotta hide ur identity numerically. They kinda do; toebox area, few other places.
October 17th, 2011 at 8:44 pm
The purple ones look way better.I think these are kinda of better then the six rings.But im sick of seeing that elephant print shit and everybody should stop putting down the rare airs,they were sweet but the sole was just too much goin on.btw son of mars club purple im copping fasho.
October 17th, 2011 at 8:47 pm
Those white & purps are dope
October 17th, 2011 at 8:52 pm
I'm feeling these
October 17th, 2011 at 9:00 pm
have to wait for more pics to judge
October 17th, 2011 at 9:11 pm
so many hypebeasts are gonna have these
October 17th, 2011 at 9:16 pm
Looks like gentry forgot to take his crap with him when he left JB. Lol
October 17th, 2011 at 9:25 pm
yeah i think w/o the elephant print they would look real nice. just with the strap it looks awkward
October 17th, 2011 at 9:56 pm
it seems like everyone has something to say when JB does hybrids. But when Nike does a hybrid ie 1/2 Cents or Zoom Rookie's everyone loves them and goes ape shit. trust me 1/2 cents and zoom rookies are straight DOPE but Just let the shoe be what it is. JB can not continue to be a $Billion company if all they did was retros. that would sacrifice the integrity of the brand and ruin the identity of what the company started from in the first place. but all feedback is good feedback somewhere down the line IMO.
October 17th, 2011 at 10:13 pm
These joints look alot like yeezys
October 17th, 2011 at 10:44 pm
Mash ups look like a clusterf@#k. Keep it clean and stick to the classics.
Spizikes and the like are straight garbage.
October 17th, 2011 at 11:19 pm
That's kind of disrespectful to the Yeezy
October 18th, 2011 at 12:27 am
Ur on ur own. To everyone else do not by hybrids, let's end the madness…
October 18th, 2011 at 12:33 am
I judge da fact dat dey not retros n Der not new. Dey just suck. To all if u wear these u r not considered a sneakerhead. Any real sneaker head is NOT COPPIN.
October 18th, 2011 at 12:36 am
If you genuinely say you like these, then you just gave up on life.
October 18th, 2011 at 12:43 am
JB Should Use This Color Wave In Some Retros ..Those Would Be Fireeeee ! Instead Of This Trashhh..
October 18th, 2011 at 12:54 am
Forget the concords and black cements 3 im copping 12 pairs of these!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and ill wear them in bed watching BET UNCUT eating Butterfingers
October 18th, 2011 at 1:23 am
no nO NO!!!!! please stop the Jordan inbreeding!!!!!
October 18th, 2011 at 1:26 am
We could only wish they (or any non-Premio Jordan) were that high of quality…
*looks angrily at cracking midsoles of True Blues worn twice*
October 18th, 2011 at 1:31 am
no Jordans will ever be OG material 'cause Nike and JB stopped using real leather (or suede)…and cjp17, they aren't "swede," they American (or Chinese if we gonna get technical)…rofl
October 18th, 2011 at 2:14 am
Absolutely horendous.
October 18th, 2011 at 2:22 am
I know some dickwad gun try to paint the shark teeth emerald green as an attempt to make a grape CW
October 18th, 2011 at 2:49 am
What the hell is a "Color Wave"?
October 18th, 2011 at 6:26 am
Sorry man, but if all Jordan did was release Retro's they would be rolling in money. How many people would like the Grape 5's Retro'ed or Laney's for that matter, or The City Series of the 10's? Heck i'd even be cool if they released some more 4's like the Oreo 4's, pure classics instead of all these hybrids would go off the shoe racks in a minute. Jordan Brand didn't build there identity on Hybrids so why are they making 13 lines of hybrids and not releasing some key retro's that people clearly want?
Just Sayin'
October 18th, 2011 at 8:04 am
bet these are gonna be like 175
October 18th, 2011 at 9:12 am
these actually aren't bad..these don't scream 2012 heat but they are definitely some nice shoes to chill and/or run errands in.
October 18th, 2011 at 10:12 am
They are alright. I would not buy them for retail though!
I'll wait when they hit the outlets
October 18th, 2011 at 11:04 am
I run errands in real jays or real anything. Matta fact I hope everybody cop dese so it make me look dat much betta. Only people buying des r young or rookies either way not fly.
October 18th, 2011 at 11:20 am
III, V, VI, XX, what else does anyone see mashed up into these?
Kind of look bootleg to me though.
October 18th, 2011 at 11:40 am
if all they did was release retros, they would get old. They would no longer be classics, everyone would have the 'grape 5's'. Would not rake in money because their would be way too many versions of the shoe out……
Just Sayin'
Dumb ass…..
October 18th, 2011 at 11:51 am
i hate six soles…they yellow too quick
October 18th, 2011 at 2:00 pm
Holy fuckin shit!
October 18th, 2011 at 2:18 pm
I think the dude who said thats the OG 6 material is right. Not feelin the icy soles on the BReds, the "Grapes" however are DOPE.
October 18th, 2011 at 6:22 pm
yeeeeeeeee there fresssh as hell! hopefully the strap is detachable cause too mee! imo no good that ruins it but idk the blacks might be a cop regradless!
October 18th, 2011 at 7:06 pm
I don't really like fusions at all, but the bottom part is pretty dope. The 6 top ruins it for me tho…
October 18th, 2011 at 10:17 pm
These aren't bad, but they seem like a spiz'ike wanna be.
October 18th, 2011 at 10:43 pm
Eyy, dope, but I hate how the areas with cement print dont have consistent colors
October 18th, 2011 at 10:47 pm
smart business man. If they released the laneys, grapes, all city pack 10's, oreo 4's in a span of 4 months next year then whats next? Retros would get even more over done then what they already are. I remember when it was like 3 retros a year. Every release, lines were formed out the door and instant sell outs. I couldnt tell you the last time i remember a quick sell out. The last sell out had to of been the cool greys and thats not even a guaranteed fact in some cases.
October 18th, 2011 at 11:13 pm
Basterd son of mars
October 19th, 2011 at 12:15 am
i spy osbedians
October 19th, 2011 at 1:48 am
Yeezys are still WAY better looking but these are good too. Just saying, these look vaguely similar to the yeezys. These anywhere near as nice but they really do look good. I liked the Spizikes, these are a nice constellation to the spizikes BUT
Yeezys > Son of Mars
October 19th, 2011 at 7:45 am
i can envision a lot of hoodrats rocking these just like they did when the 6rings and 60+'s released
October 19th, 2011 at 11:34 am
seriously…without there re-releases there nothing
October 19th, 2011 at 11:35 am
wow most ppl like these…smfh…ill take the db 4's over these any day
October 19th, 2011 at 2:22 pm
I Meant "Color Ways" Auto Correct Mistake..
October 19th, 2011 at 6:06 pm
Whack!
October 22nd, 2011 at 10:04 am
if the cement on the back was the same on the front id cop for the purple ones
October 23rd, 2011 at 12:28 am
now i k now for a fact theyre fkcing with us..'just pick a number from 1 through 23 about 4-5 times and thats how you make a hybrid diest matter how it looks as long as it has that jumpman they'll eat it up"
October 24th, 2011 at 1:17 am
These shoes are nice enough to wear in the winter when you don't wanna fuck up your real heat.
October 24th, 2011 at 11:40 pm
we made it in americaaaaaa
October 25th, 2011 at 12:34 pm
Gonna b copped as soon as they drop
December 10th, 2011 at 10:35 am
i can get em now
January 11th, 2012 at 8:18 am
the elephant print needs to be fnckin consistent on both ends, that piece of sh!t velcro flap needs to be fnckin removed, and there needs to be better colorways than just having it all one color at the top and a lonely different color in the midsole, they need to be more creative like a black cement but with a fire red/black/cement colorway throughout the shoe combined and not tjust separate the colors on either side of the shoe, so since it has that ugly flap its definitely a deal breaker ill get them when theyre put on sale for low purchases phahahaha
April 16th, 2012 at 3:00 pm
Hell naw, a nikka can't be walkin around wid dat bummy ass strap dat shit be 4 kids yo only babies put straps on there sneakers fuk that yo. I'm choppin dat shit off as soon as i cope em and adding some black laces 2 deez. But other then that I'm feeling these , reminds of the 09 AJF4 joints that came in black/red
