Air Jordan Son of Mars Low Pink Foam (PS): Spike Lee's hybrid, in pink and in kids' sizes
What if a single sneaker could tell half the story of Jordan Brand? That's exactly what the Air Jordan Son of Mars Low Pink Foam (PS) delivers: a kids' model that brings together pieces from several classic Air Jordans and dips them in a soft, super-wearable pink. It's not just another design. It's a nod to '80s and '90s sneaker culture, made to measure for the little ones.
The Son of Mars Low is a Jordan Brand hybrid sneaker inspired by Mars Blackmon, the Spike Lee character who appeared alongside Michael Jordan in the Air Jordan III ads. It mixes elements from several classic Air Jordans and, in the Pink Foam (PS) version, comes in kids' sizes in an almost tonal pink.
What is the Jordan Son of Mars and why is it called that?
The Son of Mars debuted in 2012 as a tribute to Mars Blackmon, the die-hard Jordan fan Spike Lee played in the Air Jordan III ads. The name says it all: it's the “son” of that era of legendary campaigns.
The design idea was to build a new model from pieces of the sneakers Lee helped promote. Nike describes it as a fusion of elements from several Air Jordans, which is why every part of the silhouette has a recognizable origin.
Air Jordan Son of Mars Low Pink Foam (PS): the puzzle, piece by piece
The fun part of this sneaker is guessing where each detail comes from. With pink covering almost the whole shoe, it's the shape—not the color—that gives away its DNA:
- Tongue: thick and padded, inherited from the Air Jordan 5.
- Elephant print: the most iconic print of the Air Jordan 3, here on the overlays.
- Midsole: with a wavy line, inspired by the Air Jordan 4.
- Layered overlays: a direct nod to the Air Jordan 6.
- Outsole: rubber, with traction designed for everyday wear.
Pink Foam colorway: the pink that goes with everything
The official colorway is Pink Foam/White/China Rose, style code IR0525-601. Pink Foam is a very soft pastel pink; white and China Rose, a deeper shade, show up on the details to add a bit of contrast without breaking the tonal effect.
It's a pink that doesn't look like a “costume”: it has that powdery feel you see all over Instagram and TikTok in minimalist kids' looks. And since the color is so uniform, the chunky silhouette becomes the star.
Jordan Son of Mars Low: how does it fit?
In the adult version, most reviews agree that the Son of Mars Low fits true to size, and people between two sizes sometimes go half a size down for a snugger fit. Still, the odd review from European stores finds it a little tight.
With little ones, the most practical approach is to measure the foot (standing, in the afternoon) and leave comfortable room to grow. Users also say the collar and heel area soften up after the first few wears.
If you're unsure, you can check the available sizes on the product page, and remember that at Next Step you have 14 calendar days from delivery to return your order.
Everyday comfort: what the reviews say
Reviews of the Son of Mars Low highlight its solid build and comfort that kicks in fast, with no long break-in period. It's a sneaker made for everyday wear more than for the court.
Made for little feet
The Air Jordan Son of Mars Low Pink Foam (PS) features a padded collar and tongue, a cushioned insole and a rubber outsole with multidirectional traction. In other words: school, the park and weekends, no drama.
How to style pink Jordans for girls
The trick with tonal pink is to give it room. Here are a few ideas that work great:
- Classic denim: straight-leg jeans or a denim skirt with a white tee.
- Heather gray: a gray tracksuit or sweatshirt for a very current sporty look.
- Total white: white from head to toe, and let the sneaker bring the color.
- Tone on tone: a soft pink accessory for a coordinated, photo-ready outfit.
