Product Information
Full details
The adidas DON Issue 8 Trainers are engineered for basketball players who prioritize speed, precision, and explosive movement on the court. Featuring advanced LightstrikePro cushioning, these trainers offer exceptional energy return for high-impact jumps and quick directional changes. While the low-cut design provides excellent agility and freedom of movement, users should note that it offers less ankle coverage than traditional mid or high-top basketball silhouettes.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for outdoor basketball courts?
While they perform excellently on indoor surfaces, the rubber outsole is optimized for hardwood. Excessive use on abrasive outdoor surfaces like asphalt may accelerate wear.
Does the DON Issue 8 have good arch support?
The regular fit provides standard support for most players, though you can replace the existing insole with custom orthotics if you require specific arch support.
How should I clean the breathable upper?
Use a soft brush and a mild detergent solution to gently scrub away stains, then wipe clean with a damp cloth and allow to air dry.
Is this a unisex model?
The series includes variants for both men and unisex sizing; please check the specific product title for your intended size and fit.
Does the shoe run true to size?
The DON Issue 8 uses a regular fit. If you prefer a tighter, more locked-in feel for high-performance basketball, most players stick to their standard size.
Troubleshooting
Loss of traction on the court
Wipe the outsole clean of any dust or debris; traction performance can decrease significantly if the soles are dusty.
Discomfort or pinching during play
Ensure laces are properly secured without over-tightening. Consider using a different lacing pattern to better accommodate your specific arch or foot width.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your trainers perform at their best, verify your sizing against the UK standard fit provided, as the shoe is designed for a regular fit.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Wipe away dust and dirt from the outsole with a damp cloth after each game to maintain traction. For deeper cleaning, use mild soap and water with a soft brush on the upper material; avoid submerging the shoes in water.
- Drying: Air dry the shoes at room temperature, away from direct sunlight or heat sources like radiators, which can warp the cushioning foam.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place to maintain the structural integrity of the breathable upper fabric.
