adidas and Haribo have joined forces to create a playful yet performance-driven sneaker, the Haribo x adidas D.O.N. Issue #6. This collaborative release sees Donovan Mitchell’s sixth signature shoe get a sweet makeover, drawing inspiration from the iconic gummy bear brand that’s loved worldwide.
The Haribo x adidas D.O.N. Issue #6 collection arrives in two colorways, composed of Mitchell’s favorite flavors: Raspberry (red), Pineapple (white), and Strawberry (green). The upper is crafted from a lightweight mesh material, providing ample breathability and flexibility, perfect for high-intensity games or casual wear. Iridescent accents along the midsole and upper give the shoe a candy-like sheen, evoking the glossy look of Haribo’s chewy treats.
A special touch is the Haribo Goldbear logo, found on the insole, adding a nostalgic element to the sneaker. The partnership between adidas and Haribo highlights the fun, light-hearted side of Mitchell’s persona while emphasizing the playful yet fierce nature of his game.
Underfoot, the sneaker’s Lightstrike technology ensures lightweight cushioning, providing explosiveness on the court and comfort during long sessions. The multidirectional herringbone outsole promises exceptional traction, a necessity for Mitchell’s quick cuts and explosive drives to the basket.
Packaged in a golden Haribo-branded box, the presentation of the D.O.N. Issue #6 adds another layer of fun, making it a collector’s item for sneakerheads and Haribo fans. The box itself features a window that gives a sneak peek of the shoe, much like looking into a candy box and picking out your favorite flavor.
The Haribo x adidas D.O.N. Issue #6 collection releases on October 31, 2024, for $130 via adidas.com and select retailers.
