Adidas Basketball has teamed up with Utah Jazz guard Donovan Mitchell on the player’s first signature sneaker. The new shoe focuses on Mitchell’s skill while giving a nod to his Marvel superhero nickname, Spider-Man.

The collection includes four styles that will roll out throughout summer. Michell’s signature line dubbed D.O.N. Issue #1, references his mantra: “Determination Over Negativity.”
“Determination over negativity is a belief that anything is possible no matter who you are or where you come from,” Mitchell said in a statement. “I wanted this sneaker to be a symbol of that — for the kid who believes they can do anything.”

All of the features of the sneakers represent a step in Mitchell’s unconventional path to the NBA. The propulsion clip and wider outsole provide stability for landing from above-the-rim leaps. The Bounce cushioning ensures a comfortable ride. The shoe also includes custom coding that represents the addresses from Mitchell’s career, for example, Brewster Academy in New Hampshire and the University of Louisiana.
