What we’ve learned from the Spiz’ike and earlier colorways of the Jordan Brand hybrid pictured above over the past few years, is that Jordanheads are meticulous when it comes to scrutinizing hybrid designs, but if you’re careful with signature elements from the golden era, greatness is indeed possible. The Jordan Son of Mars has impressed in each colorup to date, this new Nuggets-ish style reminding us that while all of the styles referenced in its design were made famous in Chicago, Michael wrapped up his career with a victory lap in the nation’s Capital. The ‘Stealth’ Son of Mars hits the shelves at retailers like Social Status this Saturday, August 11th, and you can see a new crop of images after the jump below.

Ever since the lighter ‘Prism Blue’ colorway leapfrogged it back in June this Jordan Son of Mars combo has been pretty quiet. It pops up again today out of nowhere, with some official images and a release date attached. The Jordan Son of Mars pictured will hit Jordan Brand accounts on August 11th, continuing to stir up the established palette in a time that should prove pretty tumultuous for those attached to the more traditional of Air Jordan colors. We’ve got an official look at the ‘Stealth’ Son Of Mars with the confirmed release date, so click through with us to check out the shots of the Jordan Son of Mars ‘Stealth’ and be on the look out for them at your local Jordan Brand retailer a few weeks from now.

Michael Jordan played for two NBA teams. One of them almost ‘doesn’t count’. That’s because the MJ we came to know and fear made his mark with the Chicago Bulls, winning six titles and countless accolades while establishing the world’s most successful signature sneaker line. The two seasons Mike spent playing with the Washington Wizards didn’t even result in a postseason appearance thanks to MJ’s aging knees in the second season, but the result of that brief tenure in the Nation’s Capital is a series of dope blue and gold designs like the new Jordan Son of Mars pictured above. They’d get a ‘Nuggets’ tag, too, were Melo still with Denver, and either way you go, a grey-based Jay with blue hits is so wardrobe-friendly, these are shaping up to be a sleeper hit during the ‘Olympic’ Air Jordan summer. Check out more photos below and stick with Sneaker News as we approach the third quarter release date. Photos: SoleAwesome

The Jordan Son of Mars has been a pleasant surprise in 2012, a follow-up to Jordan Brand’s most successful hybrid to date that has us wondering if it might even one day surpass the Spiz’ike. Colorways like this Wizards/Nuggets look with a variety of grey tones on the upper are just too wearable to pass up, and when you combine those qualities with seamlessly integrated signature elements from the Air Jordan Legacy’s golden era, these emerge as another can’t-miss. Slated for an August drop date, they do come up against some stiff competition with all the ‘Olympic’ Air Jordans scheduled for Q3; let us know if you’ll cop these after inspecting some new images below.
