SLAM magazine is marking a significant milestone this year, commemorating its 30th anniversary and its upcoming induction into the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame.
In the continuation of the celebratory year, the publication has teamed up to celebrate the impact of one of its most iconic cover athletes, Sabrina Ionescu.
Ionescu, who was heralded as “The Next Queen of NY” by SLAM shortly after her #1 draft pick, has rapidly ascended to become a beacon in women's basketball, not just for her on-court prowess but also as a trailblazer in the sneaker world. With the release of her second signature shoe, the Nike Sabrina 2, she continues to break barriers and inspire athletes across genders and generations.
This special edition shoe dazzles in a seafoam colorway, a nod to both the magazine's vibrant legacy and Ionescu’s dynamic influence. The design is replete with thoughtful details: SLAM’s logo and the 30th-anniversary emblem embellish the heels, while the insoles carry the celebratory banner. The reflective Swoosh logos on the sneakers enhance visibility and symbolize self-recognition and aspiration, mirroring the potential seen in Ionescu's path.
Sabrina Ionescu treasures the reflective Swoosh detail, designed for wearers to see their own reflections and envision their dreams and ambitions. This detail mirrors her own journey in a shoe meant to propel the future of basketball.
Pairs, at this stage, are not expected to be released to the public.
