The Spiz’ike is probably Jordan Brand’s most successful hybrid design to date, and arguably one of the best mashup sneakers ever concieved. We’re coming off a high tide in late 2011 that saw the impressive ‘Knicks Pack’ hit retail along with the first preview images of the ‘Bordeaux’ edition, but even with that kind of momentum, it appears another Spike Lee-inspired hybrid will take the reigns this year. Our latest look at the upcoming Jordan Son of Mars comes in a familiar colorway that the Spizike had also slightly altered, a ‘Grape’ AJV-leaning palette that really emphasizes the fact that the Son of Mars is built upon the Five’s foundation. But these don’t offer any Aquatone or other teal shades to get the full effect (nor do they add red like the Spiz’ikes), so the end result is a fresh twist, just like seeing design elements from Air Jordans III-VI plus XX combined in this new configuration. Check out the Son of Mars in more images after the jump and stick with Sneaker News for the US release date. via Air-Randy

January 16th, 2012 at 10:16 am
TOOO MUCH ELEPHANT PRINT. other than that, it's a robocop
January 16th, 2012 at 10:21 am
Jesus! lol. The only reason I can think of why they would put out these. Is because maybe nike ordered too much of a retro jordan parts so they use whatever is left over to put this (lmao) together and slap the jordan logo to make a quick buck smh

In 50 years time I hope we look back on these combo models and think, "WTFLOL!" Every one has been like that real shit remix of that song you love. Why, why, why.

The olyimpic colorway was one of the worst shoes ive ever seen. These are 10x better. And they still are horrible!

Cosign Joe.
WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU JORDAN PEOPLE?
J III-VI are perfectly fine, no need for a mashup.

January 16th, 2012 at 2:12 pm
Would look better without the strap. I think they would actually be pretty nice without it.
January 16th, 2012 at 2:13 pm
