The Jordan Son of Mars Low is officially returning in 2026, marking the latest comeback for Spike Lee’s hybrid series. First introduced in 2015, the Son of Mars Low has long been a divisive silhouette, mixing nostalgia-driven colorways with a bulky frame inspired by multiple Air Jordans.

Spike Lee has long been an influence on Jordan Brand. His Mars Blackmon persona helped define late ’80s sneaker culture and set the stage for collaborative storytelling. That partnership went on to create the Jordan Spiz’ike in 2006, which was a hybrid of iconic Jordans that launched a craze for mash-up sneakers. Dub Zero, 6 Rings, and eventually Son of Mars models followed the same concept.

The Son of Mars Low borrows design cues from the Air Jordan 3, 4, 5 and 6, and unifies the signatures of each in one statement sneaker. Not every iteration was met with open arms from fans, but certain colorways still hold nostalgic merit due to its high affiliation with fan-favorite Retro colorways. It’s those kinds of details the long-time sneakerheads can geek out over.

Jordan Brand is releasing “Black Cement”, “White Cement”, “Cement Grey” and a “Do The Right Thing” edition for Summer 2026. Pre-release information has indicated that these will be a full family sizing. The fine details of these releases are yet to be released, such as Nike Air heel branding.

Coincidence? We think not. 2026 also commemorates the 40th anniversary of Lee’s first film, She’s Gotta Have It, which means both the movie and sneaker will share a milestone year. Love them or leave them, the Jordan Son of Mars Low 2026 will keep Spike Lee’s imprinting on pop culture alive and well with Jordan Brand.
