In public appearances throughout the offseason, Donovan Mitchell readily acknowledged it was far to partially discount he and the Cleveland Cavaliers’ regular season success, acknowledging that their true test would be to advance to the Conference Finals and beyond.

A new season offers up a new chance to make good on those public expectations, and the adidas DON Issue #7 nods to that purification aspect. Its “Start of Season” colorway offers almost a perfect inversion of the debut “Lucid Pink,” trading its warmer tones for a gradient between white, green, and blue across the upper. Reversing direction to start at white only adds to that potential inverted concept, culminating with a white inner bootie and overall collar section.

The adidas D.O.N. Issue #7 “Start of Season” releases on November 21st, retailing for $210. Catch official images below and keep this article within reach for direct “Where To Buy” links once this pair makes landfall.
