In a few months, Sabrina Ionescu and her New York Liberty will look to defend their first WNBA title, hoping for NY’s first back-to-back championship since the Yankees three-peated between 1999-2001. Of course, Sabrina, a signature Nike athlete whose Nike Sabrina series has transcended the WNBA to become a fixture in the men’s basketball world, will be lacing up her Sabrina 2 and the unseen Sabrina 3 come the start of the 2025 WNBA season. While we await the reveal of her third model, images of a New York Liberty-inspired Nike Sabrina 2 have emerged.
Featuring a minty green hue mixed with light smoke grey, the color palette on Sabrina’s latest sneaker evokes an image of the Statue of Liberty, which inspires her WNBA team name. The green hues enveloping the S overlay, Swoosh, embroidered heel and collar, and portions of the sole unit look quite similar to the oxidized appearance of the famous New York landmark. Grey details help ground the sneaker along the toe, tongue, laces, sockliner, and heel tab.
