It might be red. I can't tell. It would be odd if the art in the background, her bracelet, her watch and the shoes were all orange.

Why is Donovan teaching those two children known white supremacist signs?

"Reflective of Mitchell’s “Spida” nickname after the comic book character Spider-Man, the shoe is red and blue."

It's official, I'm buying these shoes.

Donovan to Shanghai confirmed.

He won't be able to use that Jersey number though since it's the Jersey number of the G.O.A.T.

I'm seeing blue, and then some red and some orange.
The "red" part of the shoe has two different shades/tones

“There are only two pairs right now,” he said. “I’ve got both of them.”

Next August or September I’ll be sure to. SLC dunk reported they’ll be released in the 3rd quarter of next year. So right before the season. Price will probably depend on these ones if there isn’t a bit more muted color-way. I think the shoes are great, I think they’ll sell well and I think they are attractive to a wide swatch of people. Orange/blue red/blue, probably just isn’t something I’d wear much at all. If they aren’t ridiculously expensive I’ll buy some, if they are I may wait for a different color scheme. It did say he wanted them to be affordable and attainable to people who can’t spend $250 on a shoe. So it sounds like they’ll be reasonably priced, which is great for fan and himself, because they’ll likely sale really well if they aren’t ridiculously priced.

I will also say, Donovan using aspiring writers to help unveil them is so Donovan.

Yeah, Donovan helping out the under privileged kids of the most expensive school in america.

They are red and blue but it is a orangish red hue... orange and blue go well together... anything other than purple is a clear slight to Utah of course.

Imma buy these and everything they put the damn spider logo on.... I'll have a direct deposit setup with Adidas.

Reasonable is likely around $150 these days... which is more than most can/should spend, but that's the market. I think the Dame's are in the 130-150 range... I expect the DONs to be close.

I think if you went under $100 that people would think they were too cheap and they wouldn't be cool... it's a strange world we live in.

I think you're right. Pro bounce are around $110, they won't be cheaper than that.

 

[Handlogten's Heros]

I also really like Adidas basketball shoes... seem to be wider fit than Nike for me. Loved the Dame's and they held up pretty well. Currently wearing the new Curry's and not sure how I feel about em...

 

[Handlogten's Heros]

I'll throw my guess at $129 officially. Hopefully they have some sweet colorways. I'm not cool enough for red-orange and blue.

 

[Scat]

Looks orange and blue but I think it is meant to be red and blue like Spiderman

Cy is right once again. Orange blue is NY Mets things, than he'll probably have Louisville Color scheme than go onto a Jazz color theme


...than a Purple and gold theme...


Jk.

As long as there is a splash of green on them I'll be OK.

No.

Nearly all signature lines, especially for young players, start out cheap. I bet these will be 110-115.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

The 5 latest major brand signature model debut prices:

The Kyrie 1's started at 110
The PG 1's started at 110
The Dame 1's started at 105
Westbrook 1's started at 125
The Harden 1's started at 140

Harden is the outlier because he's a top 5 player and his shoe was designed more to be high end and fashion forward. Westbrook was a vet with a lot of time in the game.

They will market Mitchell's as a budget model to begin with.

Well, I actually like the shoe, it looks decent, I'm sure it's comfortable. I would like it in a different color-way, but I'm happy with the shoe, it's not over the top, it's something you could just wear. I like it, and I think it will sell well to an audience beyond Jazz fans without a doubt. This is as big for small markets as it is for Donovan himself, especially the Jazz obviously. Donovan Mitchell at this point is going to be the 3rd most impactful draft pick the Jazz have ever made and may make his way up that list. He now has a signature shoe (and will likely sign a large extension in terms of money and time with Adidas if he continues to follow Dames same timeline, next summer) he is an ambassador for New Era, as well as Stance socks and will be getting future customized items at Stance as well. He's a star, but he's definitely gonna have to back it up on the basketball court in short order, which I think he will.

So he may be wearing the shoes tonight against the Sixers? Looking for a great game tonight/

Nah, they are more than likely still going through wear testing stages. And even if they were completely final product, you wouldnt want to debut something in-game so far from release date, I would think.
