Utah Jazz superstar Donovan Mitchell grew up as a huge fan of comic books, which is the reason why his Adidas signature sneaker line carries the “Issue #1” moniker. Tying in to Mitchell’s love for comics and his “Spida” nickname, Adidas has already released a plethora of Spider-Man colorways of the D.O.N Issue #1.
Now, it looks like Adidas is shifting their focus to Gotham with a Joker-themed colorway.

Though Adidas has not yet confirmed the “Joker” nickname or any release details, rumors suggest the special edition kicks will be available on February 1 for the retail price of $100.
The Adidas D.O.N. Issue #1 features a propulsion clip on the side for lateral support and a wider outsole to provide stability for landing from above-the-rim leaps. Adidas’ Bounce cushioning ensures a comfortable ride, and a unique, wavy tread pattern, which represents Mitchell’s unconventional path to the NBA, helps drive his illusive speed.
