The latest colorway to hit Donovan Mitchell's signature sneaker with the Three Stripes, the adidas DON Issue 7, might also be his boldest and brightest colorway yet. And while it looks tailor-made for summer, it’s actually launching as part of the German sportswear giant’s fall collection.
For those who’ve never come across the DON Issue 7 before, the first thing you’ll notice is the zipped-up shroud. Built from a versatile mix of nylon and mesh, the upper is split into Lucid Lemon up top and Flash Aqua down low. This vivid blue flows seamlessly into the full-length Lightstrike Pro midsole, which is said to be far more comfortable than the previous DON Issue 6. An exposed carbon fiber plate runs through the sole, serving up extra stability and propulsive energy on the court.
Elsewhere, a purple spider logo sits proudly on the tongue as a nod to Mitchell’s “Spida” nickname, while a matching adidas emblem is stamped on the heel to round everything off.
Scheduled to release in September 2025 via adidas and select retailers both online and in-store, the adidas DON Issue 7 Lucid Lemon Flash Aqua GS will be available in grade school sizes for $90 and preschool sizes for $75.
