Former Louisville Cardinal and budding Utah Jazz superstar Donovan Mitchell released his new shoe on Monday. We have everything you need to know about the sweet new kicks,
Donovan Mitchell is quickly becoming one of the most popular and marketable players in the NBA.
On the heels of his Sophomore season, Mitchell’s high-flying dunks, smooth handles, and uncanny ability to get to the basket, coupled with his endearing off the court personality have led to some pretty lucrative sponsorships- namely deals with Adidas and Body Armor.
Now, Mitchell has released his first shoe- a series with four different releases and four colorways- that is readily available for purchase for the average joe.
What are they?
The D.O.N. Issue #1 is an affordable superhero-themed shoe named after Mitchell’s nickname: “Spidaman.”
The first shoe, “Marvel’s Amazing Spider-Man,” was released on Monday, and the “Venom” or “Symbiote Spider-Man” colorways will be released on July 18th.

Here’s what Adidas has to say about them:
"These basketball shoes reflect Donovan Mitchell’s determination to succeed. The herringbone-pattern rubber outsole provides the traction needed to make quick and decisive cuts in the paint. A propulsion clip on the side gives you lateral support for dynamic moves, while a flexible Bounce midsole offers instant step-in comfort and a cushioned, responsive ride. Outsole details represent the stops on Mitchell’s journey from Brewster Academy in New Hampshire to basketball superstardom."

Adidas has also put out a kid’s line of the D.O.N.’s as well.
How much do they cost?
The D.O.N.s are $100, and kids sizes start at $80. Mitchell made it clear that he wanted to make a shoe that represented who he was, but also one that anyone could buy.
For comparison’s sake, Kanye West released his Yeezy brand shoe for $300 and above.
