Donovan Mitchell took the league by storm in his rookie season last year for the Utah Jazz. Mitchell was able to set himself apart from other rookies in the league early. He gained the respect of NBA All-Stars like LeBron James, Paul George, Russell Westbrook just to name a few early. When it was time for the bright lights Donovan Mitchell was able to impress people and gain comparisons to a young Dwyane Wade. Mitchell was able to shoot and slash his way to scoring 23.8 ppg as a rookie. In the playoffs, Donovan was able to put his name and game on notice for the whole league to see when his Jazz eliminated the OKC Thunder. The quick growth and maturity that Donovan Mitchell showed in his game propelled Adidas to make him one of the faces of their brand heading into the future. Adidas wanted to reward Mitchell on an excellent rookie campaign with a signature shoe.

 

Donovan Mitchell’s nickname is “Spida” so it only made sense that Adidas linked up with Marvel to do a SpiderMan themed shoe for the Utah star. The Adidas D.O.N. Issue 1 was debuted his signature shoe in December 2018. The D.O.N. Issue 1 has an amazing cushion around the ankle and has a light mesh that makes this shoe extremely comfortable. Adidas did an amazing job with Mitchell’s first shoe and made all of them based off of Marvel characters which were even better. Check out some of the official images below and check out some of the clips of Donovan Mitchell putting in some work with his Adidas D.O.N. Issue 1 on the court as well.
