Quick Summary
Donovan Mitchell and adidas are gearing up to release the D.O.N. Issue #8, the eighth installment of the Cleveland Cavaliers guard's signature line. The shoe made its first public appearance on-court during the 2026 NBA Playoffs, with Mitchell debuting multiple colorways in games against the Detroit Pistons and the New York Knicks. The reveal leaned into Mitchell's "Spida" nickname through a teaser video referencing the iconic "Spider-Man Pointing at Spider-Man" meme, a nod to the athlete's long-running connection to Marvel's web-slinging hero.
The lead colorway, known as "Spida-Man," arrives in a red-and-blue gradient finish that reads as a direct reference to the Marvel character. Webbing textures run across the upper in a design that draws a clear visual link to adidas' F50 Spider football boot, marking a notable departure from the D.O.N. Issue #7's construction. The three-stripes branding is prominently placed throughout, and the overall silhouette reflects a performance-forward build suited for high-level play.
The second colorway, "Silver Spida," shifts the palette toward a metallic silver base. Vibrant blue and neon yellow accents are layered on top, colors that map directly to the Cavaliers' team identity. The silver foundation lets those brighter tones read with more impact, and the pair was spotted on Mitchell's feet during playoff action after being teased by the official Cavaliers Instagram account.
Official release details for the adidas D.O.N. Issue #8 are still forthcoming, with firm launch information expected to surface by fall via adidas. To stay informed on all things adidas Basketball and to stay up to date with the latest releases, connect with us on Instagram and Twitter.
