Donovan Vernell Mitchell Jr. is a professional basketball player in the NBA, currently playing for the Utah Jazz. Known for being a huge Spider-Man enthusiast, the new D.O.N Issue #1 adidas X Marvel shoe showcases his love for the friendly-neighbourhood superhero with its distinctive Spidey colours.
This was hinted at after he appeared in an ad with Spider-Man himself, Tom Holland. Mitchell’s nickname in real life is actually spida. So this collaboration was totally meant to be.
Each signature sneaker has a Bounce midsole, spider-web stitching on the tongue, and a wider-than-usual outsole that provides extra support. The acronym “D.O.N” stands for “Determination Over Negativity,” a motto that Mitchell has lived by. Through this, the NBA player hopes to inspire kids to believe in themselves no matter who you are or where you’re from.
This Marvel-inspired pair of kicks are on sale now, just in time for Spider-Man: Far From Home. The D.O.N issue #1 comes in various colourways that embody the well-loved superhero.
