The Jazz guard gets his signature shoe in year two.
It’s been talked about, and now it’s here. Donovan Mitchell’s new shoe will hit stores in 2019. The D.O.N (Determination Over Negativity) Issue #1 debuted this morning.
Through a press release, Mitchell said: “I think the accessibility will be a lot different. We obviously have the Hardens, the Dames and others, but for me, I wanted the shoe to be accessible to all people, both price-wise and color-wise, and I wanted everything to be relatable to the everyday person that can’t spend $250 on shoes. I wanted to work with adidas to find ways to make sure the shoe was accessible to everybody who wants to wear them.”
