NBA Kicks of the Week: Donovan Mitchell wears MLK tribute sneakers

As Week 13 in the NBA concludes, hoopers from across the association sported fresh heat on their feet.

In honor of Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell paid homage to King by donning a pair of his signature Adidas D.O.N. Issue 5's. The shoe reads "I Have a Dream" along the back as a tribute to Dr. King's famous speech, which he gave in 1963 as part of the March on Washington.

Mitchell's MLK Day shoe also reads, "Respect, Peace, Love, Equality, Justice, Peace" along the collar for a message of unity.
