Even though the DON Issue 7 has only been around for a minute, it’s already shaping up to be one of adidas’ most popular hardcourt silhouettes. Why? Well, not only because it’s Donovan Mitchell's signature sneaker, but also thanks to standout colorways like the upcoming adidas DON Issue 7 Pulse Pure Teal.
With its bright palette, this version feels like it belongs in a summer drop, but adidas is saving it for later in the year. One of the first design cues you’ll clock is the zip closure that runs across the shroud. Built from a Cloud White blend of mesh and nylon, the zipped construction is borrowed from the brand’s IIInfinity series, adding a futuristic edge and lockdown fit that’s as functional as it is stylish.
Around the heel, the German giant’s Trefoil logo is stamped proudly, while the tongue showcases Mitchell’s signature spider emblem – a constant nod to his “Spida” nickname and on-court persona. Underfoot, a lightweight midsole combines with grippy traction, making sure this bold colorway doesn’t just look good, but also performs at the highest level. And with Mitchell continuing to dominate both ends of the court, the DON Issue 7 stands as a true reflection of his explosive, do-it-all playing style.
Scheduled to release on October 18th, 2025 via adidas and select retailers, the adidas DON Issue 7 Pulse Pure Teal will retail for $120 in men’s sizing.
