Months Before Lucrative Signature Shoe Deal, Sabrina Ionescu Fangirled Over $347.9 Billion Worth Luxury Brand

A few months back, 2-time WNBA All-Star Sabrina Ionescu launched her first signature apparel and shoe collection in collaboration with Nike. This launch made Sabrina the first women’s basketball player to create and deliver a unisex signature collection with the brand. However, sometime before signing off on the shoe deal, Sabrina was smitten by a famous luxury brand worth billions.

Sabrina is one of the youngest players and best talents the WNBA has ever seen. She is the only NCAA Division I basketball player to have recorded 2,000 points, 1,000 assists, and 1,000 rebounds in a career. Sabrina has made significant strides in her career on both on-court and off-court.

Sabrina Ionescu shows off her luxury handbag

In a resurfaced YouTube video, the New York Liberty‘s guard Sabrina Ionescu can be seen unraveling a few essential things she cannot live without. The list included Nike sneakers, an Oregon Ducks notebook, Chanel No.5 perfume, Beats Pill, a pearl bracelet, etc. However, the most interesting thing on that list was a Louis Vuitton crossbody handbag that she carries with her everywhere she goes. The brand is worth $347.94 billion.

The video was shot a few months before she signed the signature collection deal with Nike. Her enthusiasm and joy can be seen while Sabrina elaborates on the Nike GT Cut PE sneakers that she designed. “I think these were the first player-exclusive shoe that I was able to design and so, these are probably one of my favorites just because they are all my favorite colors,” Ionescu describes the design and style.

“Playing in them, they are really comfortable and just to be able to cut, move, jump. They are really low to the ground and as a basketball player they just help me do everything I need to do on the court and are really comfortable,”?she shares her reviews about the performance of the shoes on the court.

One could easily tell her designer instincts.

Sabrina revealed her signature sports collection

Earlier this year, Sabrina signed a deal with Nike worth $24 million and launched her first signature apparel and shoe collection – the Sabrina 1. The shoe featured a full-length Nike React cushioning and a Nike Zoom Air unit in the forefoot.

Designed with thoughtfulness, the shoe tells a story by paying homage to traditional Romanian architecture with its unique and intricate embroidery patterns on the eye-stays and forefoot. The “i” on the heels pays respect to her last name.
