With the Utah Jazz killing it this season, it’s only fitting adidas celebrate with further releases of Donovan Mitchell’s D.O.N. Issue 2. This upcoming “Fire of Greatness” colorway ostensibly aims to do just that, brandishing its laces with the prideful theme.

The scheme itself seems to play off the title as well. Forward, the mesh dyes a bright, boisterous “Solar Yellow,” while the heel combats in a similarly neon-toned “Solar Red.” This duality likely reflects the blend of “speed” and “power” Mitchell exhibits on court, while also emulating the fires referenced in the offering’s namesake. To complement, the midsole uses the two tones for its gradient and the lining dresses with literal flames. Branding, then, finishes in black atop the tongue and strings.

For a look at these, see the official images below. As they’re currently available in Australia, it shouldn’t be too long before we see pairs on adidas.com stateside.

In other news, the Air Max 95 By You just went live.
