Nike and Sabrina Ionescu collaborate on the Sabrina 2 signature collection, aiming to grow the game and inspire young players.
The new Sabrina 2 shoe and lifestyle apparel collection, inspired by WNBA star Sabrina Ionescu, offers a range of options for basketball fans. The line is designed with personal touches reflecting Sabrina’s background, and for the first time, kids’ sizes will be available.
The Sabrina 2 signature shoe by Nike is designed for players looking to accelerate and cut quickly on the court. It is 28 grams lighter than its predecessor, the Sabrina 1, without compromising support, stability, or comfort. The shoe features a plush Cushlon 3.0 foam midsole and a firmer Cushlon foam carrier, along with a Nike Zoom Air unit in the forefoot for energy return and responsiveness. An updated band system offers a secure, glove-like fit around the midfoot, and the rubber outsole has a new herringbone pattern for multidirectional traction. Overall, the Sabrina 2 is a perfect balance of softness and stability for agile players.
The shoe’s design features an “S” frame and intricate stitching inspired by Sabrina’s initials and number. The vertically slanted Swoosh on the medial side represents shattered glass from ceilings she breaks. The exposed Swoosh and “i” on the sole reference her last name and game intensity. Some colorways will have mirror-finished Swooshes to inspire the next generation. The shoe will be available in grade-school sizing.
Nike’s Sabrina 2 shoe was created using insights from women-specific research and feedback from Sabrina herself, ensuring the shoe’s design meets the needs of all athletes. Sabrina also collaborated with Nike to design a signature apparel collection, including tees, a hoodie, shorts, and a reversible bomber jacket. The collection, inspired by Sabrina’s personal style, features her unique logo that symbolizes family and loyalty. The Sabrina 2 signature collection will be released globally on June 28, with more information about the apparel line to follow.
