adidas DON Issue 8 “Spida-Man” Releases This June

The adidas DON Issue 8 “Spida-Man” is Donovan Mitchell’s newest signature basketball shoe, a black, red, and blue colorway that leans into the Spider-Man theme woven through his entire signature line. It releases in June 2026 for $120.

Mitchell, the Cleveland Cavaliers All-Star guard, has built his adidas signature series on the “Spida” nickname he carried from his Louisville days into the NBA, and the eighth model commits to the comic-book reference more than any pair before it. The number eight nods to a spider’s eight legs, and the colorway itself reads as a direct homage to the wall-crawler’s red-and-blue suit. Mitchell debuted the “Spida-Man” on court on May 6 during Cleveland’s playoff series against the Detroit Pistons, the first of several Issue 8 makeups he has rolled out through the postseason.

The adidas DON Issue 8 “Spida-Man” Design

The build starts with a black padded ankle collar, white eyelets, and red piping that frames a structured midfoot. A blue TPU cage with red cutouts wraps the support section, while a gradient mesh shifts from blue to red across the upper, scattered with a faint web-like grid that ties into the Spida-Man theme. Red covers the toe and the molded midfoot panel, which carries a sunburst pattern that mimics a spider web radiating outward.

Underfoot sits a Lightstrike Pro midsole, with a black midfoot shank and red tooling tucked beneath it. The split outsole pairs a red forefoot with a blue heel, both stamped with concentric circular traction that doubles down on the web motif. White Three Stripes branding sits on the heel and the lateral midsole, the Spida infinity logo appears on the tongue and heel, and adidas swapped Issue 7’s zip shroud back to a traditional lacing setup for a cleaner, performance-first look.

Will the adidas DON Issue 8 “Spida-Man” Release at Retail?

Yes. The “Spida-Man” releases in June 2026 at adidas.com and select retailers, online and in stores, for $120 in men’s sizing and $90 in grade school. It arrives as part of a wider Issue 8 rollout that Mitchell has been previewing on court throughout the Cavaliers’ playoff run.

How Many adidas DON Issue 8 Colorways Are There?

The “Spida-Man” is one of several Issue 8 colorways Mitchell has worn through the 2026 postseason. The “Silver Spida” (style code KI9286) follows in Summer 2026, also at $120, trading the comic palette for a silver base with blue and neon green accents, purple hints, and webbed midfoot paneling that mirrors the texture of a Spider-Man suit. A “Tangerine” version has also surfaced, and Mitchell broke out a black-and-white “Yin & Yang” pair during the Eastern Conference Finals. For now, the “Spida-Man” is the first of the group to land a firm retail window.

Why the Spider-Man Connection Matters

Mitchell’s signature line launched in 2019 with the original DON Issue 1, which arrived as a Marvel collaboration built around Spider-Man, and the partnership has resurfaced across the years on pairs like the DON Issue 3 “Venom.” Even in seasons without a licensed tie-in, the shoes keep landing in red, blue, and black gradients that read as a clear nod to the character. The “Spida-Man” is not a confirmed Marvel collaboration, but the styling makes the reference unmistakable, and it sits comfortably alongside Mitchell’s earlier Spider-themed releases.
