The Jordan Son of Mars "Black/Metallic Gold" Releases Holiday 2026

The Jordan Son of Mars is returning for Holiday 2026 in a "Black/Metallic Gold" colorway that keeps nearly every surface dark while letting a few carefully placed gold details carry the visual weight. Elephant print wraps the toe and heel in black, setting a premium tone from the jump, while the gold tongue immediately pulls focus as the most eye-catching element on the pair.

The upper is built with a nubuck-like texture and features perforated side panels sitting beneath stitched black overlays, with the laces and padded collar matching throughout. That gold tongue carries a slight sheen and an embroidered black Jumpman at its center. Over the lace area, mismatched badges display a Mars Blackmon portrait alongside a circular graphic, and smaller lace pieces spell out "SON OF" and "MARS" in gold script across the shoe.

Gold speckles continue down into the glossy midsole sections and trail up the heel panel and pull tab. A white Jumpman marks the back of the heel above the dark elephant-print overlay, and the black outsole repeats the white Jumpman underneath, with a visible Air window rounding out the construction.
