First Look At The adidas D.O.N. Issue 8

Eight signature models deep is no small feat, and with the first look at the adidas D.O.N. Issue #8, Donovan Mitchell continues to build one of the most consistent performance lines in adidas Basketball’s modern era.

At a time when signature models often chase headline-grabbing innovation, the D.O.N. Issue #8 appears to double down on refinement. The silhouette maintains a low-cut profile, a staple of Mitchell’s line, while introducing a new webbed overlay system that adds both structure and visual identity similar to the Kobe 3. Bold striping at the heel brings added contrast, giving the shoe a more aggressive, speed-driven aesthetic that aligns with Mitchell’s explosive style of play.

This first look arrives in a vibrant Lucid Tangerine/Core Black/Pulse Mint colorway, a palette that feels right at home within the line’s history of energetic, high-visibility designs. While adidas has yet to confirm full tech specs, the $120 price point suggests a continuation of its current performance setup, likely anchored by Lightstrike Pro cushioning.

The adidas D.O.N. Issue #8 is currently expected to release on August 15th, continuing a signature series that has quietly become one of the most dependable in the game.
