The front part of the pointed heel is coloured in a dark burgundy, while the colour that was referred to as "Shadow Red" serves as an accent across the laces, the tongue, and the topographical TPU that lines the remainder of the upper. "Better Scarlett" has a titular upgrade across the LIGHTLOCK upper, with a similar orange gradient covers the Lightstrike cushioned underfoot. "Cream White" accents embrace the spider tongue marking and the forefoot's tread.
Adidas described the pair as,
"Determination over negativity. That's what D.O.N. stands for, and it's also the fuel behind the fire that is Donovan Mitchell's fast and fearless game. Built for players who move at top speed, Don's fourth signature adidas Basketball shoes are the lightest yet, with an ultralight Lightstrike midsole and supportive LIGHTLOCK upper that work together for a fast-yet-grounded feel. The traction pattern is driven by Mitchell's on-court movements, so every hard-charging cut and head fake has total support."
