With Utah officially in rebuild mode, Donovan Mitchell now finds himself with a blossoming organization in Cleveland surrounded by Darius Garland, Evan Mobley and co. A sure-fire contender in the East this season, there’s been a tumultuous amount of change for Spida as of late, yet one constant remains; his reign as one of The Three Stripes’ fastest-rising signature athletes. With the D.O.N. Issue #4 in tow, Mitchell and adi not only have a brand new tonal spectrum to experiment with, but a ridiculously tooled system that boasts the lightest constructed model to date. Ultralight Lightstrike cushioning effortlessly blends with a LIGHTLOCK jacquard upper that implores one of the League’s most dynamic scorers to sprint, cut and dice up the competition without a worry.
