Month: August 2023

For Sabrina Ionescu, the sky is the limit with her career as a guard in the WNBA. Last month, she shattered the WNBA 3-point contest record, scoring 37 of a possible 40 points and missing just two shots. However, she’s not only shining bright on the court, her partnership with Nike Basketball has led to the upcoming release of her first signature shoe: the Nike Sabrina 1.Joining her shoe’s debut “Ionic” look that is slated to release on September 1, the “Spark” colorway, previously teased on her WNBA edition cover of NBA 2K24, is entering the fray. The pair begins with an “Oxygen Purple” base that is energized with “Lemon Chiffon” hits throughout the forefoot. Black contrast appears at the Swooshes, lining and rubber outsole while an “Ice Peach” cuts through the middle of the shoe, adorning the base of the tongue tag, lacing system, heel detail and center of the outsole to complete this court-ready look.As Nike Basketball prepares for the official launch of the Sabrina 1, it’s currently scheduled to land on shelves starting September 1 via Nike and select retailers at a price of $130 USD. View this post on Instagram A post shared by NBA 2K (@nba2k)Looking for more of the latest news from the footwear industry?

It comes with a padded round toe and a thick rubber sole unit, as well as the House’s signature branding embedded into the fibers on the lateral panel.The Après Ski slippers take the same approach, but cut things low to give it that quintessential mule form.
