Sabrina Ionescu has been party of the Nike, Inc. family since April 2020. In September 2023, she debuted her first signature basketball sneaker with the brand. Aptly-named the Sabrina 1, the low-top silhouette went on to become one of the most popular hoops models in North America—at all levels. Today, a first-look at the WNBA star's third signature shoe—the Sabrina 3—has surfaced across social media.
Caught on video by Instagram user @760kix, the pair appears in its inaugural "Blueprint" color scheme, which couples "Glacier Blue/Neptune Blue" hues.
Tech specs for Ionescu's next Nike Basketball offering are still under wraps, but a quick glance at the Sabrina 3 reveals a visually-similar proposal to its two predecessors.
The New York Liberty guard and other NBA and WNBA players have taken a liking to lightweight, low-profile basketball shoes, with the Nike Sabrina series leading the charge. The most overt update from the current Sabrina 2 seen in the early footage of Ionescu's next sneaker is the Kobe 11 Elite Low-reminiscent elements across the profiles. It's possible the design choice has been informed by a need for better lockdown at the sides; the cage-like component also bears some resemblance to Kevin Durant's KD 18.
Underfoot, a fine-tuned edition of Cushlon foam likely delivers the same responsive, comfortable ride found on previous iterations of the Nike Basketball franchise.
Stay tuned for firm release details and official photos of the blue-covered Sabrina 3. Expect pairs to hit Nike.com as the 2025 WNBA season gets going.
