This shoe was crafted for Ionescu's play as a shifty guard, so it includes Nike React foam to help you stay fast on your feet. A Zoom Air bag in the forefoot offers even faster reaction times when an opponent tries to deke around you. A midsole shank plate provides further stability while keeping the shoe lightweight.
The upper has a minimal design to further reduce weight. It's crafted of dark gray lightweight mesh with pale yellow contrast stitching across the toe box and eyestays. Across the midfoot, you'll see lightweight cables underneath the mesh to provide additional stability.
Also noteworthy is the pale yellow racing stripe that shoots from the top of the toe box to the top of the tongue. If you take a step back, you'll see this actually forms a lowercase "i"—meant to represent Ionescu. The reasoning behind this? To make the Sabrina 1 an iconic shoe onlookers can identify at a quick glance.
Naturally, there's a Swoosh across the lateral panel—stitched in a golden outline. A gray TPU heel shield at the heel adds additional support when cutting across the hardwood. You'll see a metallic gold Swoosh embedded against this on the medial heel. Also on the heel is a silver tab with Ionescu's signature.
Underfoot is a translucent rubber outsole. Embedded inside this outsole is an inspiring message from Ionescu to ballers young and old.
Whether you're an on-the-court wizard or simply an admirer, these basketball shoes have enough game for everyone.
