Nike Sabrina 2 Review
Pros:
Grippy herringbone traction
Lightweight and comfortable
Cons:
Overall lack of durability
Not the best material quality
Performance of the Nike Sabrina 2:
Sabrina Ionescu's second signature shoe with Nike is a lightweight performance model. It's reminiscent of the Kobe line.
The traction is consistent and is one of the shoe's best features. It performs well on all court surfaces.
Cushlon 3.0 makes its way into a Nike shoe for the first time in the Sabrina 2. The shoe remains low to the ground, but the comfort improves slightly.
The material quality isn't the best, and the shoe's durability takes a hit. However, the performance is not affected. The shoe feels comfortable, flexible, and light.
Support and lockdown are not an issue. The shoe is secure around the heel and ankle, and the midfoot cable setup keeps your feet contained.
The fit is also improved this year. The width is more accommodating, and most reviewers reported no issues with sizing.
The Nike Sabrina 2 will continue to be one of Nike's most popular shoes thanks to its consistent traction performance.
