Cavs' Donovan Mitchell signs extension with adidas including 10th shoe

Donovan Mitchell's adidas contract extension includes a 10th signature shoe and educational resources for underserved students at his alma mater.

Donovan Mitchell, the Cleveland Cavaliers star, has extended his multiyear contract with athletic wear company adidas, confirming that he will wear a 10th signature shoe for the brand, becoming the seventh active NBA player to achieve this milestone, according to ESPN's Shams Charania. The extension also expands adidas' support for Mitchell's former high school, Greenwich Country Day in Connecticut, by providing educational resources to students from underserved communities.

Mitchell first signed with adidas prior to his rookie NBA season in July 2017, and notably scored 37 points in an NBA Summer League game in Las Vegas on the same day. The Cleveland Cavaliers are set to begin their preseason on October 8, facing off against the Boston Celtics at Rocket Arena with tipoff at 7 p.m.
