Sneakers Release – adidas D.O.N. Issue #3 “Bel-Air” Dark Blue/Red/College Gold Men’s & Kids’ Basketball Shoe Launching 9/9

Sep 3, 2021

A new limited Bel-Air Athletics colorway of the adidas D.O.N. Issue #3 drops September 9 in men’s, grade school and preschool kids’ sizes – and it’s just as bold and vibrant as the Utah Jazz shooting guard.

Calling all Donovan Mitchell and Will Smith fans! The worlds of modern basketball and ’90s streetwear are colliding. The ultimate collab has finally arrived, and it’s looking hot.

The shoe includes a paisley print on the heel, ankle collar and midsole that may look a little familiar to fans of ’90s sitcoms. Will Smith donned a nearly identical paisley jacket in “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air” as part of his school uniform. Well, sort of — he flipped his boring navy blazer inside out to show the fresh lining underneath.

You’ll also notice a standard mesh navy upper along the middle and toe box. A matte navy ankle patch holds a golden grommet in place, while the navy and red laces criss-cross over a red mesh tongue. Enjoy the bold yellow Spida logo on the tongue, along with additional Bel-Air detailing on the navy lace guard. A red and yellow heel tab adds an extra splash of color.

The outer edge of the midsole is solid white — perhaps to keep the color palette from going overboard. But on the lateral side, a paisley TPU and heel band announce it’s party time. The white outsole comes with a familiar traction pattern featuring navy spots at the toes and heel, but those with a good eye will also notice the splash of paisley in the center.

Don, much like the Fresh Prince, took his journey from the city to the suburbs, so he can relate. No matter where you’re located, these shoes are sure to add some street-style flair to your wardrobe. As a basketball shoe, they’ll give you the snug, locked-down heel and Lightstrike cushioning you need to make a statement on the court. But with their bold coloring, they’d also look great thrown on with casual joggers and a red adidas hoodie or wear these adidas basketball sneakers to complete your adidas Donovan Mitchell D.O.N. x Bel-Air collab look while you’re running errands.

Whether you were born and raised in West Philadelphia or spent most of your days on the playground, we have a feeling the adidas D.O.M. Issue #3 will be a good fit. Find them in men’s, grade school and preschool kids’ sizes starting September 9 online or at your local Hibbett | City Gear.
