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.

It’s a good shoe, traction top tier, had a little slipping when i first bought them but got way better the day after. A little wide which is perfect for me as I am a wide footer. If u do have flat feet like me and wear insoles for them I suggest going your true size, it squeezes going in your ankle a lot and hurts a lot. Other than that you should go half a size down. The outsole starts to peel a little so that’s a tiny bit worrying but other than that the shoe is really good.

The Sabrina 2 is a great performer with amazing looks. It feels low to the ground, but doesn’t sacrifice significant cushion. I’d say it’s more of a guard/forward shoe, because of the cushion not being top-notch. Overall I would heavily recommend this shoe to basketball players, especially the ones that like Kobe’s. The shoe felt very similar to what you would get from a kobe shoe.
