Sneaker leaks and rumors are starting to spread, with many whispers alleging adidas has a Donovan Mitchell signature shoe in the works for the 2019-20 NBA Season.

Donovan Mitchell has his own signature sneaker being prepared for the NBA hardwood next year. In less than 100 games, Mitchell has shown the talent, guile, and marketability to garner an honor that only few NBA stars ever receive. Utah has several players in the Hall of Fame, but Mitchell is the first to bring Salt Lake a signature sneaker.

Donovan Mitchell averages 20 points a game, and is one of the top steals artist in the NBA, but is just barely old enough to buy a beer. After two years at the University of Louisville, Mitchell became a star in last year’s NBA playoffs. Mitchell lit up the NBA Playoffs averaging 24.4 points 4.6 assist and 5.9 rebounds as a rookie.

Now, adidas is betting Mitchell only gets better while leading the Jazz deeper into the playoffs.

Mitchell and adidas will release several colorways, with Mitchell’s love for comics allegedly part of the theme for at least one pair of Donovan MItchell’s. Rumors of Mitchell getting the star sneaker treatment increased greatly after last year’s All Star Weekend appearances.

Donovan has sported the Adidas Mad Bounce plenty this past year, but with so much customization, it is only logical to believe he is crafting his own kicks. He is already trying to put some of the old NBA signature sneaker heads out to pasture. Mitchell pairs well with adidas new efforts to be more visible in the basketball world.

Mitchell has been rolling out his brand well, and a signature sneaker makes sense. Even in the Salt Lake City market, Mitchell is becoming one of the most visible and likable stars of the up and coming NBA stars. Russ Westbrook has shown that smaller markets in the middle of the country can have global icons. Mitchell and adidas are following that lead.

In addition to shoes, Mitchell recently signed with Stance, the socks giant. Mitchell joins Stance as a Punks & Poets brand ambassador, with his limited edition Donovan Mitchell socks released in time for the holidays.

Mitchell’s sock is decorated with his favorite emoji, one with zipped lips, and Mitchell’s Spida logo. It is his first-ever signature product.

Donovan Mitchell is crushing it in the new sports marketing and endorsement environment. If his on court successes continue, he will have actions figures and lunch boxes through the Western Rockies.
