Haha.. this thread's gonna really separate the sneaker heads from the rest.
Donovan signature shoe?
- Thread starter oneye
- Start date
3rd year.... The thing that would give me pause is I wonder how willing they’d be to drop a signature shoe so quick after their Derrick arose experience.
Good. Don't start. It's a hobby that could get REAL expensive REAL quickly.

To be honest, these tours and media work that he's been doing are probably more valuable to the franchise in the big picture. Although... I'd caution it hasn't exactly worked out for Dame (please don't jinx it). Dame is a household name... but he's never won much, hasn't gotten a whole lot of league-wide recognition, and hasn't been able to lure a huge free agent to Portland yet.
Yeah but who does Adidas have at the moment? Dame? He's like their only guy. With Donovan it will start to sway the $$$ going to Nike.

Yes, I think it's fantastic. Mirtchell is going to make the Jazz one of the most popular teams worldwide. I was only joking about his practice time. He's a gym rat and is likely still getting in practice time. All the extra stuff outside the gym just keeps him from overworking.
What eventually happens unfortunately is you end up spending so much on a couple players it’s hard to move to the next step. Portland is paying Dame and CJ so much money, there isn’t room. It’s likely the Jazz will be paying Rudy and Donovan nearly half their cap at some point and at that point it’s hard to assemble a 14 man roster with half your cap. The next few seasons are very important before Donovan is on the max money he will deservedly get.
I would also say, the Jazz development is great, spotting talent is great, and DL is a very good GM. Donovan has a chance to be better than Dame IMO. Game is more diverse and he is much more athletic.
The color of the shoe
More like the colour combination?

I don't think it would be colorway because as far as I remember I've only seen him wear Dame's shoe so I think it will be his own.

You guys better be quick cuz imma buy dem allllllllll!
I think what Cy meant was his own colorway in Dame's shoe...
But I don't think that's significant enough to be excited about. I think it's gonna be his own shoes.

Yeah, but...
Dame didn't win the slam dunk contest.
He's not as likable as Donovan.
Did Dame average 20 PPG his rookie year?
Did Dame lead his team into the second round his rookie year and avg. 24 pts in the playoffs?
Did dame talk **** all over the fake Rookie Of The Year with Adidas branded ammunition?
Was dame the face of the NBA during summer league after his rookie year?
Did dame's girlfriend get hit on?
Did dame attend three 4th of July BBQ's with his fans?
Help me out here...
??? I'm the one of the ones here saying he's getting a signature shoe.
Hell yes, I know that. Just listing the reasons Donovan will get his shoe earlier than Dame. Figured you could chime in with more.
