Donovan Mitchell Identity

Adidas approached Donovan Mitchell’s first signature line with the goal of creating an identity that could stand on its own—beyond the usual athlete initials or jersey numbers. I worked with the brand team at Adidas to explore hundreds of directions before defining the final mark: the Spider Shield. It’s a bold, geometric emblem built from Donovan’s “Spida” persona, designed to scale across product, footwear, and global brand touchpoints.
