Jared Ebanks This weekend Nike is taking over Lincoln Center to celebrate the brand’s past, present and future of basketball. After revealing exclusive previews of the LeBron 21 “Abalone” and the Nike Book 1, the Beaverton brand presented a first look at one of the upcoming Nike Sabrina 1 colorways painted in jet-black fervor.
Drawing upon the pitch-dark aesthetic of Kobe Bryant’s famed “Dark Knight” Kobe 6, Sabrina’s first signature silhouette follows suit as its mesh upper and embroidered detailing execute a clad-black composition. Much like the latter, a vibrant “Royal Blue” tint treats the profile swooshes before the remaining real estate engages in its own contemporary updates. Bright white contrasts render an appearance along the forefoot overlay and midsole before a complimentary cream accent illuminates the heel counter. Instead of matching the Kobe 6’s crimson red tongue tab logo, the Sabrina 1 favors the seafoam green hue of her New York Liberty while a solid icy blue tread cleans up the effort underfoot.
After simultaneously previewing the entirety of the brand’s Holiday 2023 lineup in New York, it’s not too far out of the realm of possibility that the aforementioned model will appear on shelves within the coming months. In the meantime, the Nike Sabrina 1 “Black/Blue” can be seen below in our Instagram Reels.
For more from underneath the Nike Basketball banner, the Nike Book 1 recently surfaced in detailed imagery.
