The adidas Kids’ Don Issue 8 Basketball Shoes are built for young hoopers who play fast. Designed around a “light makes fast” idea, they keep weight down so kids can push the pace, change direction, and get up for rebounds.
Lightstrike Pro cushioning gives a lightweight, responsive feel underfoot, helping take the edge off hard landings and quick cuts. The textile upper and lining are breathable and flexible, so the shoe moves naturally with the foot through every drill and game.
A rubber outsole provides the grip young players need for quick turns and explosive jumps on the court. The bold Lucid Tangerine, Core Black, and Pulse Mint colorway brings plenty of energy to any outfit, on the court or off.
