Adidas D.O.N. Issue 6 Review
Pros:
Lightweight performance
Top-tier traction
Cons:
Not very responsive
Lack of court feel
Performance of the Adidas D.O.N. Issue 6:
Adidas continues its run of impressive signature models with the latest release in Donovan Mitchell's line.
The traction is one of the shoe's main highlights. It's consistent and reliable. Some reviewers consider it top-tier.
The cushioning setup has a decent amount of impact protection, and the bottom of the shoe feels light. However, the foam does not feel springy.
Adidas' materials are lightweight, durable, and comfortable. The shoe is well-padded, and the upper construction helps with containment.
Lateral security and containment are not issues, but some reviewers did report minor heel slippage.
The Adidas D.O.N. Issue 6 is a strong performer with impressive and reliable traction.

Lightstrike Pro feels nice. It caters more towards impact protection. The court feel isn't the best, though.

There's a Lightstrike Pro pad under the forefoot. The rest of the foam is regular Lightstrike. The foam provides impact protection, but it feels dull and not bouncy.
