This Nike Sabrina 2 Collab Celebrates Women in Basketball — and Beyond
Sabrina Ionescu’s second signature sneaker, the Nike Sabrina 2, is getting a vibrant makeover on a new collaboration courtesy of Philippines basketball concept retailer Titan.
Formally unveiled Monday is the Titan x Nike Sabrina 2 “Make Space” sneaker collab. Inspired by a 2021 Nike G.T. Cut campaign starring Ionescu, the design is rooted in her statement at the beginning of the clip: “All I wanted was space. I found it in the game.”

To pull off the concept, Titan tapped brand employee Alessah Papa along with Filipina artists Aila Torre and Lari Gazmen for a colorful collaboration that’s replete with detailing. Titan says it chose a Light Bone base for a neutral overall look with accents in purple, emerald and blush, colors which were chosen to represent Titan’s Show Her Love tournament.
According to Titan, the colorful Fire Spinner plant inspired the pink-to-yellow fade on the Swoosh of the Sabrina 2 — which represents both Ionescu’s “fiery passion and ice-cold game” and women’s basketball in the Philippines — and the flower is also printed on the right insole. On the left insole, a graphic of empty bleacher seats signifies making space for those who haven’t yet arrived.
“With my partnership with Titan, when anyone picks up this shoe, I just want to give them hope on being able to accomplish whatever it is they want to do, whether it’s on the court or off the court,” Ionescu said in a press release.
The Titan x Nike Sabrina 2 “Make Space” sneaker will be released March 11 exclusively at Titan and NBA Store Philippines in women’s sizes 5 through 16.5, which converts to men’s 3.5 to 15.
Following the debut launch, another release will take place March 15 during Ionescu’s Asia Tour in Guangzhou and Hong Kong. This will be followed by a global release on March 22. U.S. retail pricing is set at $140. The sneaker’s SKU is HQ1846-001 and its full colorway is “Light Bone/Calypso/Teal Tint/Racer Pink.”
