Drafted 13th overall in 2017 by the Denver Nuggets before being immediately traded to the Utah Jazz, Donovan Mitchell wore adidas D Lillard 2 shoes as part of the March Madness tournament with Louisville. He then signed with adidas prior to the start of his rookie NBA season.

With the Jazz, Mitchell has so far rotated between the Dame 4 and Crazy Explosive. His early-season bright yellow Dame 4s introduced him as a serious player in the shoe game.
