Donovan Mitchell is pretty damn global at this point

They did a poll on Twitter who had the best debuting shoe Giannis or Don and Don won by a landslide. The red and blue ones aren’t even the best color-way either.

To each their own. Like I said, I'm not really in the market for basketball shoes, and I know many people buy basketball shoes to have basketball shoes. Not to wear when they go out. Not to play basketball in. Not to do anything in, just to have.

So if you buy these shoes to play basketball in, good for you. If you buy them to add to a collection of basketball shoes, awesome.

But if you buy these so that you can throw them on and go out to dinner, or to go back and forth from work, or go fishing, or go on a hike, or buy groceries, or whatever else we do 99% of the time we wear shoes... these are not a good choice for a lot of reasons.

Also Donovan’s gesture (shoes urban kids can afford) is a noble one but naive. These kids want the hottest, expensive Nikes.

And your the authority on that issue why? They need to be expensive enough, And $100 is still plenty $$ for the “urban kids”... smh

I think it lets folks buy more than 1 color way, and that’s kinda what he’s thinking. Instead of getting 1 LBJ, they can have DON 1s in a couple different colorways. It’s a business move worth exploring
 
Think they're only making them to a size 14 and I haven't seen them on sale here yet.
 
The black and green ones are probably the only ones this pasty white guy could potentially pull off, and even that's a stretch, tbh.

The older I get, the more a nice pair of white New Balance's call to me.
 
First time Donovan wore the shoes they came off during a game lol.

"Donovan Mitchell’s D.O.N. Issue #1 will first arrive in four Marvel-specific colorways including a red, blue, and white iteration for Marvel’s Amazing Spider-Man; a shock pink, core black, white, and silver pair for Symbiote Spider-Man; a black and green version for Stealth Spider-Man; and a red and metallic gold rendition for Marvel’s Iron Spider."

Yes. I want to ball in them soon. But i kind of want to keep them as a collectors kind of item lol.

I want to ball with them mainly because I want to compare the performance vs other products on the market. My initial reaction is they might come off quite easily.....

I'm happy for DM that he has his own shoe, but I wouldn't buy any of them with a 10' pole.

I think they're bad for what they are. I could buy a basketball shoe (I don't, not in that market) but the D.O.N. #1 would not be on my list in any colorway.

They don't look good and from what's been said they are one of the cheapest versions of adidas so that more people can afford them. So they aren't good.

I hope DM isn't contractually obligated to wear production versions of his shoe. I really really hope not.

Walk me through this. Let’s say there are shoes you would like to purchase: how would you then buy those ones with any pole, let along the ole 10 footer?

I’ll hang up and take my answer off the air.

I’d be willing to order and ship to Canada for you if you really wanted them.
