NBA fans love the latest signature shoe endorsed by Sabrina Ionescu. Members of the basketball community who follow the WNBA will undoubtedly know a lot about Inoescu. To those who do not know, Sabrina is a 25-year-old WNBA star and currently playing for the New York Liberty.
One could argue that she has played a huge role in the success and attention that the WNBA has received in recent times. The 5’11 point guard is an impressive shooter and has already built a reputation as one of the best stars in the WNBA.
Since Nike endorses athletes from various professional sports leagues, it was no real surprise to find out that they decided to bring Sabrina under contract and establish a signature shoe line for her fanbase. However, no one could have predicted the overwhelmingly positive response her very first model, the Nike Sabrina 1, would bring. That said, let us take a closer look at this shoe and find out how fans are reacting to it.

Although Sabrina Ionescu has played in just 105 games so far in her WNBA career, she has established herself as one of the best players in the league. In the 36 games she played this season, Sabrina averaged 17 points, 5.6 rebounds and 5.4 assists. Additionally, she shot an efficient 44.8% from the three-point line.
Shooting almost 45% from the three-point line in any professional basketball league is no ordinary feat. Nike instantly realized they had a star in the making and soon unveiled the Nike Sabrina 1. As we can tell, they are primarily cream in color with streaks of blue at the heel.

Upon noticing pictures of the upcoming signature shoe, even NBA fans who had never heard of her up to that point were very impressed and felt the desire to purchase it. Some made their feelings quite clear by boldly proclaiming that her shoe was the best in Nike at the moment, “She got the best show on Nike rn.”

Since shoes are a matter of individual style and preference, it is quite difficult to reach a consensus that her signature shoe is the best in Nike. However, there is no denying that it has been received very well by the basketball community. We look forward to more models from her shoe line in the near future.
