Donovan Mitchell walked into the arena carrying a box covered in superheroes, pulled out a pair of Spider-Man themed sneakers, and laced them up. The Utah Jazz guard had been waiting for that moment, his first chance to wear his signature shoes in a game, all season.
“It’s still kind of surreal to me,” Mitchell said. “For me to get the shoe so soon really kind of took me by surprise. It still does to this day.”
As Mitchell warmed up in his Adidas D.O.N. Issue #1s, his mother couldn’t help but smile and take a few pictures.
