Nike Basketball is giving Sabrina Ionescu’s third signature shoe a strong New York Liberty connection with the upcoming Nike Sabrina 3 “Big Ellie.” The colorway celebrates Ellie the Elephant, the Liberty’s popular mascot, while pulling clear inspiration from the team’s signature look.
A black and grey upper sets the base, giving the performance model a clean, versatile start. Liberty-style mint green accents then hit the laces, diamond-plated Swoosh, and forefoot section of the midsole. The shade nods to the oxidized Statue of Liberty color tied closely to New York basketball culture.
The midsole adds more movement with a black-and-white swirl pattern that connects back to Liberty uniforms. A white tongue, black tongue logo, teal heel detailing, and matching insoles complete the team-inspired design. Together, the details give the pair a strong WNBA feel without losing its on-court edge.
The Nike Sabrina 3 “Big Ellie” releases May 25, 2026, through Nike.com and select retailers in-store and online. Adult sizing will retail for $135, while grade school pairs will be priced at $102.
With Sabrina’s Liberty roots and Ellie’s growing fan appeal, this pair arrives as a fitting start to the new WNBA season.
