While all of Jordan Brand’s hybrid designs can be traced back to the Dub Zero that released in commemoration of twenty years of the Air Jordan Legacy, the model pictured above traces its roots and derives its name from one that hit two years later. The Jordan Son of Mars refers to this the fact that JB is doing the right thing again, combining elements from Air Jordans III-VI with a little XX sprinkled on top, a suitable sequel to the Spiz’ike that came out of the gate with a ‘Pop Art’ colorway the two shared. This new Son of Mars goes with a Concord-leaning colorup that’s heavy on purple without the familiar aqua tones that tend to accompany it, a crisp style that’ll be available at select retailers in full family size runs starting Saturday, April 7th. Let us know if you’ll head out over the weekend to grab these at shops like West in New York, or you can lock them up early by buying now on eBay.

The most recent piece of Sneaker News regarding the new Jordan Son of Mars hybrid was a Celebrity Feet spotlight featuring H to the Izzo in the ‘Pop Art’ colorway some lableled ’Bordeaux’. The latest is similar in that it has a hook to a standout Air Jordan Legacy original in the Air Jordan XI ‘Concord’ (which we’ve also seen Jay-Z wearing), so might Shawn Carter someday soon be spotted rocking this ‘Club Purple’ Son of Mars? Jordan Brand’s latest hybrid has the above pictured colorup slated to hit select retailers like Social Status next Saturday, April 7th, so click through to see more images and let us know if you plan to cop a pair.

The Spiz’ike is undoubtedly Jordan Brand’s most successful hybrid sneaker design to date, its recipe for success a combination of elements from Air Jordans III-VI with a little XX sprinkled on top. The Twenty’s contribution is actually more like a savory filling, as its signature laser etching appears only on the sockliner where it’s almost entirely obscured. This is one of the big opportunities that allows the Jordan Son of Mars to use essentially the same range of Jays to come up with an entirely different result. This ‘Concord’-leaning Son of Mars puts its laser cuts right out in the open on the XX-style massive midfoot strap, while the AJ5-inspired midsole catches your eye with its speckle-enhanced sawtooth. Click through for a detailed examination of this pending release and stick with Sneaker News for the drop date. via Kinstor
