Nike BKLYN's Finest' Basketball Shoes

Sabrina Ionescu's love for the Big Apple started in 2020, when her team drafted her first overall. This special design highlights her team colours and salutes the city where it all started. Her signature shoe helps you unlock your versatility with a snappy forefoot Zoom Air unit and cloud-like React foam to help keep you energised. We used insights from next-gen athletes of all genders around the world to bring grippy, best-in-class traction, reliable midfoot support and stability to the court—which every hooper needs. Built for crafty players like Sabrina, but made for anyone who's ready to put in the work to take their game to the next level.

Cut quickly

Athletes like Sabrina informed us on how to build the traction pattern on the outsole. The result? It helps you feel quick in and out of cuts. Feel the hardwood under your feet as you change direction in an instant.

Speed and Comfort

We've paired a top-loaded forefoot Zoom Air unit with a full-length React foam core to deliver the ideal balance of stability, ground control and cushioning. The unstoppable combination meets at the intersection of speed and endurance, allowing you to play fast and dictate tempo without feeling depleted as the game continues.

Security up top

The collar offers optimal support with minimalism, giving you the support you need, without any unnecessary weight.

Quick and Confident

We teamed the collar with a midfoot band system that allows conformability and adjustability around the arch of your foot, all in the name of unlocking quicker play and inspiring confidence on the court.

Personal touch

Whenever Sabrina gives her autograph, she signs her name with a dot above her signature, true to her Romanian pronunciation. This detail, wrapped around her shoe, pays homage to the Ionescu family and the communities that helped push her to make playing pro basketball possible.
