Jordan Brand’s Mars 270 is the latest silhouette in a long line of Spike Lee-associated, co-crafted hybrid sneakers like the Spiz’ike/Son Of Mars, and now it’s appeared in a duo of new colorways: black/red and black/gold. Created by Lee’s son Jackson and combining pieces from the Air Jordan 1, Air Jordan 4, Air Jordan 5, and Air Jordan 6 with an instantly recognizable heel unit from the Nike Air Max 270, the Mars 270 offers a bold hybrid look, and each of these two colorways provides a healthy dose of signature Jumpman style. The black/red pair is inherently classic thanks to its color scheme, and it also boasts a potent patent leather construction for extra flair. The black/gold colorway seems to draw most of its inspiration from the beloved Air Jordan 6 DMP, and provides a slightly more toned down style with its nubuck build. Check out early images of both below, and keep it locked to our Jordan Release Dates page for info on a stateside arrival as it’s made available.
