Nike and Sabrina Ionescu Innovate for All Hoopers With the Sabrina 3 Signature Collection

Nike is introducing the Sabrina 3, the new go-to sneaker for hoopers around the world who are constantly sharpening their skills to master every facet of the game.

Lightweight, responsive and secure, the latest entry in Sabrina Ionescu’s signature footwear lineage provides the consistent performance and dependability athletes have come to know, love and expect in a Sabrina basketball shoe — allowing them to focus on the game and perform at their peak.

The Sabrina 3 builds off the success of Sabrina’s first two signature sneakers, offering a consistent yet refined feel for hoopers everywhere in a silhouette that champions quality craftsmanship and tells a deeper story about Sabrina herself.

“I know every single basketball player who puts on the Sabrina 3 will continue to see and feel the work that we’ve put in to create the best performance shoe that we can,” says Sabrina. “This shoe represents so much of me, from the vertical Swoosh that we’ve had since the Sabrina 1 to the design touches personal to me. I hope it inspires all hoopers, especially young girls, helping them continue to break down barriers and believe in themselves.”

Inspired by textile weaving and embroidery that nod to Sabrina’s Romanian roots, her new signature silhouette is a work of art that’s as dependable and consistent as its predecessors.

Mesh pleats throughout the upper serve dual purposes: defining the standout style of the new silhouette while housing cables that span the midfoot — providing enhanced containment, strength and support.

This innovative system of containment pairs with the beloved combination of a forefoot Air Zoom unit and Cushlon 3.0 midsole familiar to fans of Sabrina’s footwear, reprising the comfortable ride and consistent court feel from her first two signature silhouettes.

The vertical, off-axis Swoosh that represents the glass ceilings Sabrina continues to shatter returns on the medial side of the sneaker, while a new traction pattern with a concentric “S” design celebrates Sabrina more than ever.

“The Sabrina 3 builds on the consistency we’ve established with Sabrina’s first two signature silhouettes while evolving the look and feel of the shoe to match her needs on the court and further reflect her personal story and style,” says Ben Nethongkome, the lead designer for Sabrina’s footwear. “The Sabrina 1 and 2 made her signature line a go-to choice for hoopers around the world, and we wanted to keep that standout performance and consistency while helping make Sabrina, and the athletes who wear her shoe, even faster, stronger and more confident in every step."

The Sabrina 3 pairs seamlessly with Sabrina’s third signature collection of Dri-FIT apparel, which includes a unisex pant; hoodie; full-zip sweatshirt; and reversible short and top; as well as T-shirts for women, men and kids.

All of the hooper’s essentials from Sabrina’s apparel collection are built to her exact specifications, whether she’s refining her game, on the go or recharging at home — making each piece a seamless addition to every athlete’s wardrobe.

Further, every aspect of Sabrina’s signature footwear and apparel nod to Nike’s unparalleled commitment to growing the women’s game, supporting athletes from the EYBL to the WNBA, and fostering basketball culture around the world.

The Sabrina 3 also recalls Nike’s commitment to creating the future of basketball footwear, with best-in-class silhouettes along the spectrum of feel that accentuate the way athletes use their athleticism as their competitive advantage.

Nike complements these footwear innovations with colorway stories, materials and finishes that channel the creative and confident energy that the next generation of hoopers bring to the court.

By creating the best for the best, then delivering it to those who love the game the most, Nike is championing the players at the heart of basketball, powering the future of the game and fueling basketball culture — serving Sabrina and other elite hoopers alongside the next generation of athletes and fans.

The Nike Sabrina 3 and accompanying apparel collection will be available July 24 at nike.com and select retail locations.
