Nike Basketball has never been shy about remixing its own history, and few ideas defined the brand’s golden run of the 2010s quite like the “What The” concept. Borrowed from Nike SB’s chaotic, mismatched dunk era, the theme found a permanent home in basketball through Kobe and LeBron's signature releases that mashed together colors, materials, and stories from across an entire model’s lifespan. Now, that energy returns in a modern context with the Nike Sabrina 3 “What The,” arriving this Spring in both adult and kids (pictured) sizing.
Rather than rewriting the formula, the abrina 3 “What The” leans fully into celebration. The mismatched pair pulls from past Sabrina colorways, stitching together bright pastels, saturated neons, and layered textures into a left-right contrast that feels intentionally loud without losing cohesion. Each shoe tells a slightly different story, from the alternating outsole colors to flipped tongue details and clashing lace treatments that reinforce the playful, anything-goes spirit of the concept.
Under the hood, the performance setup remains unchanged. The Nike Sabrina 3 continues to prioritize responsiveness and control, pairing its low-profile cushioning system with a grippy, court-feel-focused outsole. It’s a reminder that this is still a game shoe first — one designed for quick cuts, sharp stops, and constant movement — even if the visuals skew toward celebration rather than restraint.

What makes the Nike Sabrina 3 “What The” stand out is how naturally the concept fits within Sabrina Ionescu’s growing line. It doesn’t feel forced or nostalgic for nostalgia’s sake. Instead, it frames the model as part of a bigger Nike Basketball lineage, while also signaling confidence in the Sabrina franchise’s staying power.
The Nike Sabrina 3 “What The” is expected to release this Spring on Nike.com and select retailers.
