Nike Plans July Launch for Sabrina Ionescu Signature Sneakers

Sabrina Ionescu is set to release the third model in her signature Nike basketball shoe line, the Nike Sabrina 3, which blends high performance with personal and cultural design elements. The sneaker features a low-profile cut favored by guards, Cushlon 3.0 foam, a forefoot Zoom Air unit for comfort and responsiveness, and a TPU shank plate for stability. It incorporates mesh pleats with an internal cable system for midfoot lockdown and design details inspired by Ionescu's Romanian heritage, alongside the signature vertical Swoosh symbolizing breaking barriers. The Nike Sabrina 3 will launch in two colorways, including the “ASW” on July 19 and the “Blueprint” on July 24, 2025, priced at $135 and available via Nike.com and select retailers. Ionescu describes the shoe as a representation of her identity and hopes it inspires young athletes, particularly girls, to break barriers and believe in themselves. Overall, the sneaker emphasizes performance, consistency, and cultural storytelling, continuing Ionescu’s influence in basketball and sneaker culture.
