The mid-2010s represented a unique chapter in Jordan Brand history, defined largely by bold hybrid silhouettes that paid homage to the brand’s storied past. Leading that charge was the Jordan Son Of Mars, a sneaker that fused elements from the most iconic Air Jordans into one singular design. Now, after a significant hiatus, the silhouette is reclaiming its spot in the rotation, beginning with the return of the original and highly coveted “Cement Grey” colorway.

The Details
The Jordan Son Of Mars is a “greatest hits” compilation of the Air Jordan line, specifically celebrating the shoes associated with Spike Lee’s legendary Mars Blackmon character. This “Cement Grey” edition expertly blends materials and design cues from five different classics. The foundation is built upon the Air Jordan 3’s iconic elephant print at the heel and toe, while the sole unit and translucent outsole are pulled directly from the Air Jordan 5.
Perhaps the most striking feature is the midfoot strap, featuring intricate laser-etched detailing borrowed from the Air Jordan 20. The silhouette is rounded out with the Air Jordan 6’s ankle collar and heel tab, alongside the reflective 3M tongue seen on the Jordan 5. The color palette remains faithful to the 2012 original, utilizing a neutral grey base accented by sharp hits of Fire Red on the Jumpman branding and outsole, offering a look that feels both vintage and contemporary.
The Verdict
The return of the Jordan Son Of Mars “Cement Grey” is a polarizing but welcome comeback. For purists who only collect the core numbered series, this may be a pass. However, for those who appreciate the Spike Lee era and the bold “Spiz’ike” design language, this release is a nostalgic home run. Given its long absence from the market, the Son Of Mars provides a refreshing alternative to the standard retro cycle, making it a solid buy for collectors looking to diversify their rotation with a piece of mid-2010s sneaker culture.
