Breaking Down the Jordan Son of Mars Low “White/Cement”

Jordan Son Of Low White Cement Details 6

The Jordan Son of Mars Low is a sneaker tied up in the history of the Michael Jordan/Spike Lee relationship. You’ll recall that the first version, the Jordan Son of Mars, came bearing elements from all of the Air Jordan releases in which Spike helped to promote, with the sum total of its influences being the Air Jordan III, Air Jordan IV, Air Jordan V, Air Jordan VI, and the Air Jordan XX. This year’s Jordan Son of Mars Low trims the fat just a little bit though, casting off the Air Jordan XX details to focus instead on that consecutive run from the Air Jordan III to the VI while maintaining a lower-than-usual cut on a Jordan sneaker. The resulting design has a lot of catching up to do if it wants to be regarded in the same breath the Jordan Spiz’ike, but there is a new colorway dropping this Saturday at Foot Locker that is turning some heads.

While we’ve seen two colorways of the Son of Mars Low already hit stores, this soon-to-arrive “White/Cement” has been as attractive as a Retro, with “original” cues coming together in harmony. We’ll break down some of the details here, so check out the gallery and stay tuned for a release in a few days at Foot Locker and other select retailers.

The Jordan Son of Mars Low combines the signature details of the Air Jordan III, IV, V, and VI. Same parts as the original Spiz’ike, but undoubtedly a different sum.

Elephant print has since been a visual cue to anything Jordan retailed; from the toe-box to the heel and anchored by the white mudguard, this Jordan Son of Mars Low grabs on tightly to the original “White/Cement” Air Jordan III.

The grey-speckled midsole is a clear call-out to the Air Jordan IV “White/Cement” – a shoe that released in 2012. Combined with the elephant print, this Jordan Son of Mars Low does an applause-worthy job at meshing two focal points into one.

Air Jordan V, anyone? The over-sized reflective tongue and the hump on the ankle collar are most definitely from the Air Jordan V, and the white leather upper only furthers the notion that the OG “White/Fire Red” was at heart when composing this colorway.

The perforations and layered upper on the Air Jordan VI gives the Son of Mars Low a heavy AJ6 influence.

Father and Son convene on the laces, with Spike’s iconic logos depicting Mars and his film production company on the tongue and lace dubrae reading “Son Of” and “Mars”.
