I’m a fan of Sabrina Ionescu, and I’m more than stoked that her shoe line is the pseudo successor to the Kobe line based on shape, design, and performance. I’m also digging how accessible these are like how Kobe’s were a few years ago.
@@lyinbobbycottonseed Not everything has to be purchased on SNKRS and the Nike App. There’s plenty of sizes available on the DSG app. I’m sure you’ll be able to find yourself a pair if you actually put some effort into it.

I appreciate that the questions at the end of the video always force Chris to make a real choice lol. It's rarely easy. And Jodie seems to genuinely look forward to these so I'm glad she's having fun with it.
Let`s all take a moment to appriciate these 2 for delivering good content every video! Thank you so much guys, one of the best sneaker channels out here! 💕
@@davidredington4192I can’t justify buying the 2’s I have 2 color ways of the 1’s and they are no where near being ready to be replaced I don’t play often enough in them I guess
I just ordered another pair of Sabrina 1s (couldn’t pass ‘em up at $80) but I need to grab these too! I’m leaning more towards the blue after seeing Chris show ‘em off. 🔥
I wanted get some Sabrina 1s at that price too but I had to stop myself so I can save my money to get the 2s instead 😂 Just ordered some Kobe 5 “Chaos” inspired Sabrina 2s and can’t wait to see how they come out 🙌🏼
Bought a pair as I have 3 of the Sabrina 1s and love them. Hope these fit the same and am looking forward to when they release the Nike ID customization option. Your reviews are great keep up the awesome work. Thank you.
Love the transition in 7:12 ! I personally HATE loud chewers though. Got a coworker who would snack at the office and just non-stop chewing loudly for what feels like an excruciatingly long amount of time and everyone would just sigh in relief when he goes out to throw the bag into the bin.
My 14 year ordered these and they’ll be in today. Excited to see him play in these in this weekends travel tournament. They def give me Kobe vibes… he was saying that he hopes they make them so we customize them so that he can get that yellow and black on there like the Bruce lees.
I deal with this right here all the time. Sometimes I can be just slight defects. I wised up and always order 2 pairs & pick the best fit out of the 2 & return the other.
Never been this pumped for a WNBA release but this is my favorite in a long time. Bought them first day and all i get is positive feedback from people asking me what they are
I had a couple of Kobe 5's and 6's before. Now i have Sabrina 2. I can say total upgrade. The toe box of Sabrinas toe box are little wider than Kobes. But in a better way. And they're damn beautiful. I put game day in them i fell in love😊.
Can't wait to try these out, my pair is arriving soon. Yeah, they're basically a Kobe clone, but if they're comfortable and perform well, I'm good with that. Thanks for another entertaining video from Weartesters!
I played in these for the first time and they EASILY outplay my kobe 6 protro’s. softer materials, easier break in (non existent), insane traction, and SUPER low to the ground but protective cushioning. i’m so serious when i say this might be the best hoop shoe i’ve ever played in for the price point
I think familiar but new is totally fine, considering how many people want Kobes these days but can't get them. Especially for hoopers who have always been hooping in Kobes
Love the Sabrina 1 so I’m into these. I do also have the issue of one foot fitting weird in Nike basketball shoes and the other being fine, which is super frustrating.
OH HAPPY DAAAAY!!!! Shoutout to that Sister Act 2 cut!!! I honestly LOVE what they are doing with the Sabrina shoes….yes they look like kobes but I don’t see it as a bad thing, especially if it embodies the essence as well and are straight up performers! I really like the look of the Sabrina 2s. regardless of aesthetic similarities, I think they’ve done a good job of keeping it clean. Looking forward to the performance review. As for the question of the day, I guess between the two choices, I’ll tolerate the lip smacking, simply for what Chris stated as his reasons. Both are not ideal because they make me wanna get violent…so I’ll choose to eat alone in the bathroom like Kady Heron. 😆🤷🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️
Since I can’t get Kobe’s, I don’t mind these looking like Kobe’s. That’s why I love them. I can actually get them for retail and they’re close to the Kobe’s
Your absolutely right about Nike running out of ideas for their Nike shoe but you also gotta remember these and gt cut 2s are the closest thing to a Kobe shoe at affordable price thanks you to jacc ass resellers we can’t get a pair of them at a solid price
QOTD: Really loud. I'd rather be bothered than sickened. It's like a Kobe model that's widely available... why would anyone want basketball shoes be accessible enough to play basketball in? Nike outsmarts themselves again. I'm glad Sabrina Ionescu gets such a cool shoe, though. These and the Sabrina 1s look dope, and the 1s had a bunch of nice colorways. Thanks for the video. Great work as always! You got my like and my comment for the algorithm.
Leaving my question again, since it was ❤ed by you two... QUESTION: If you could have one shoe come back every 2-3 years with necessary interior tech/luxury improvements... What would that shoe be?
One thing I noticed that most of the Nike Basketball signature shoes that are out recently were designed by Ben Nethongkome. All of them lowkey lookin like Nike Kyries.
Hi, great video! (as always). I wanted to ask you where can I learn more about the foot shapes used to construct sneakers, and how do I identify the best one for me. Do you have a video about that?
I liked 1s and I like these as well. I like that they look like Kobes... and at least you can get a pair of these. I'm going w/ the loud eater as well, at least that's sanitary.
I like the design and i understand where its coming from . A lot of players were inspired by Kobe so the design is similar but the question is does it hold up the same in terms of materials. I mean you cant expect a protro kobe to be the same with these other than design but I hope that other than the design , the Sabrina line could shine on its own terms and seperate itself well enough and have a reputation of being a sabrina other than a Kobe inspired shoe
Fml I could’ve sworn I saw a video and someone said these fit wider than the Sabrina 1s. The 1s were WAY too narrow for me and I’ve got a pair for 2s on the way
I hate smackers. My brother used to smack, my wife eating hot foods she does also but I couldn’t take a spitter. I went full size up since I heard the first pair was narrow and I’ll get an insole for em if needed be since they don’t make 14.5
Nike is in business to make money and Kobes sell so making a shoe that Sabrina approves and is a kobe alternative makes sense. I'll deal with the chewer before a spitter anyday
Do you think the swoosh is limiting nike creativity?what I mean is the placement of the swoosh on the shoes is limiting the ability to create new silhouettes? As it is so big
I just Nike 🆔 these in a laker colorway and they really do look like the Kobe v away championship version. Best thing Nike could have done because I can’t get a pair of Kobe’s to save my life smh
🔥👍🏼 Uggh…. 🤦🏻♂️ I’d rather eat with an obnoxiously loud chewer than with a spitter. Instant appetite loss & 🤢. My uncle was a loud chewer so, I’m used to it. 🙃
1: If the signature athlete is only looking for minimal changes in tech and design, if the sales numbers are there Nike's gonna run with it. As much as people want new, they also want familiar. 2: Q.O.T.D. Give me a really long dinner table with seats at opposite ends, and I'm good with either one.
QOTD: Do you watch other sneakerns related youtubers? If yes, which one and do you learn anytning new from them or taking some inspirations? What about Sabrina 2, I wonder what nike prepared for Clark sigs since Ionescu just like Caitlin used to wear Kobe before and her shoes are basically a budget Kobe models.
I’m a fan of Sabrina Ionescu, and I’m more than stoked that her shoe line is the pseudo successor to the Kobe line based on shape, design, and performance. I’m also digging how accessible these are like how Kobe’s were a few years ago.
Amen to that
Accessible? They sold out in a couple hours and now no one can get them
@@lyinbobbycottonseed true, but that was over the course of hours, had this been a Kobe, it would’ve sold out within a few mins.
@@lyinbobbycottonseed Not everything has to be purchased on SNKRS and the Nike App. There’s plenty of sizes available on the DSG app. I’m sure you’ll be able to find yourself a pair if you actually put some effort into it.

At least we can get these and at a reasonable price...unlike Kobe's been sold out in a millisecond then resellers jack of the price.
These are now sold out and the prices will be jacked up 😂
@@lyinbobbycottonseedThey're gonna be just like the Sabrina 1s
@@lyinbobbycottonseed DUDE!! LOL
I appreciate that the questions at the end of the video always force Chris to make a real choice lol. It's rarely easy. And Jodie seems to genuinely look forward to these so I'm glad she's having fun with it.
Sabrina knew Kobe very well and she also wore his shoes at Oregon. So im not surprised at the design of her signature shoe.
Let`s all take a moment to appriciate these 2 for delivering good content every video! Thank you so much guys, one of the best sneaker channels out here! 💕
Much appreciated!
Great content and the vibes from him and his wife are what keeps me watching
It's crazy.. the stock image you pulled for the Kobe 5 Dark knight was a rep. Just goes to show how good they are if the legend himself can't tell
or whoever editing just grabbed the first picture of the sort in google search
These literally are Kobe’s 😂
Which is good. kobe 5 cost a leg
I opted for the Sabrina line because Nike won’t allow me to buy any of the Kobe’s
Sabrina 2s in my size sold out within hours
@@davidredington4192I can’t justify buying the 2’s I have 2 color ways of the 1’s and they are no where near being ready to be replaced I don’t play often enough in them I guess
Literally the dumbest comment someone leaves on every s2 post on RUclips or IG.

These are the prodigy of the Kobe line. You really can’t go wrong with this set up.
always wait for your reviews.
Bought a pair as I have 3 of the Sabrina 1s and love them. Hope these fit the same and am looking forward to when they release the Nike ID customization option. Your reviews are great keep up the awesome work. Thank you.
Great review as usual Cris 👌 and when you said “now the insole is this pice of shit right here” was gold 😂
S logo look like the Slam magazine logo thought it was a collab for a second
Love the transition in 7:12 ! I personally HATE loud chewers though. Got a coworker who would snack at the office and just non-stop chewing loudly for what feels like an excruciatingly long amount of time and everyone would just sigh in relief when he goes out to throw the bag into the bin.
Yes!! Been waiting for this review!!
Now I know what a “last” mean smh this guy is always educational. Best sneaker page man 🫡

I hate when one shoe is a little uncomfortable and the other is fine 😭 it’d be better if both sides were just as uncomfortable
When I get the one uncomfortable shoe, I have to return them. It’s one of those things I can’t forget as soon as I notice it.
I deal with this right here all the time. Sometimes I can be just slight defects. I wised up and always order 2 pairs & pick the best fit out of the 2 & return the other.
A lot of Bruce Lees Nike by you coming up lmao
Bro the way he described the right foot feel on the 1’s is exactly how I feel wearing mine
Never been this pumped for a WNBA release but this is my favorite in a long time. Bought them first day and all i get is positive feedback from people asking me what they are
Dope kicks! Wanna see some other colorways. Loud eater over the spitter!
Loved the 1s, can't wait till more colorways arrive so I can grab these

Your reviews be on point. I bought them yesterday remind me so much of Kobe’s
Accessible Kobe’s Finally!! And no aftermarket prices
When these go on sale it'll definitely be one of great deal for a hoop shoe this year
I played in these for the first time and they EASILY outplay my kobe 6 protro’s. softer materials, easier break in (non existent), insane traction, and SUPER low to the ground but protective cushioning. i’m so serious when i say this might be the best hoop shoe i’ve ever played in for the price point
Really? I picked up these and the kd17s but I’m only keeping 1 trying to decide
If these end up back on NikeID, I'll make another "Daughters" colorway. Love my pair of Sabrina 1s.
Sabrina played like the Star she is in The Gold Medal Game, they definitely needed her TICKS..congratulations TEAM USA 😊
Love them!!
Chris, do you think or heard rumors if the 2s gonna be in By You as well?
I think familiar but new is totally fine, considering how many people want Kobes these days but can't get them. Especially for hoopers who have always been hooping in Kobes
Love the Sabrina 1 so I’m into these. I do also have the issue of one foot fitting weird in Nike basketball shoes and the other being fine, which is super frustrating.
Oh man….the max tag got me
WKB😂
I kind of dig nike taking design cues from past models. I wouldnt mind seeing a moden day barkley with upgraded materials and cushion for example .

These are probably the closest I’m ever gonna get to owning a Kobe 5 Protro
Like the purple and black. Interested in seeing if they have them locally and try a pair on.
Looks like Sabrina got the best Nike line for any current player…
Your absolutely right about Nike running out of ideas for their Nike shoe but you also gotta remember these and gt cut 2s are the closest thing to a Kobe shoe at affordable price thanks you to jacc ass resellers we can’t get a pair of them at a solid price
They were sold out upon release here in the uk - I did not even get a chance to see the sizes! They released sold out.

Got my daughter a pair for the upcoming AAU basketball season
“The insole are this peace of Shit right here” 😂
I like the design and i understand where its coming from . A lot of players were inspired by Kobe so the design is similar but the question is does it hold up the same in terms of materials. I mean you cant expect a protro kobe to be the same with these other than design but I hope that other than the design , the Sabrina line could shine on its own terms and seperate itself well enough and have a reputation of being a sabrina other than a Kobe inspired shoe
Man it does look the Kobe 5, but honestly I’m tired of low top signatures. Would like a high top
Fml I could’ve sworn I saw a video and someone said these fit wider than the Sabrina 1s. The 1s were WAY too narrow for me and I’ve got a pair for 2s on the way
Just waiting for the right colorway or By You to cop these.
Still on my 2 pairs of Sabrina 1s, so I’ll probably wait until these hit sales racks. However, if they hit Nikeid, that’s a different story 🤣
I feel like caitlin clark's shoe's gonna be similar cuz she loves the kobe's too. N i can't wait for Aja's shoe cuz she wears lebrons.
I hate smackers. My brother used to smack, my wife eating hot foods she does also but I couldn’t take a spitter.
I went full size up since I heard the first pair was narrow and I’ll get an insole for em if needed be since they don’t make 14.5
Cant wait for more cw and hopefully By You just like the 1st one.
Btw im with Chris in the qotd.
i dont really care if its similar or not as long as they good hoop shoes
and to answer the QOTD, I rather not eat, I would walk out that room
Kobe V vibe indeed for less the price. Definite cop for me.
Nike is in business to make money and Kobes sell so making a shoe that Sabrina approves and is a kobe alternative makes sense. I'll deal with the chewer before a spitter anyday
Loved the 1s so I’m excited for these
Been waiting for ur review
These are straight 🔥
Gonna be hard pressed to find a better hoop shoe at that price point.
Do you think the swoosh is limiting nike creativity?what I mean is the placement of the swoosh on the shoes is limiting the ability to create new silhouettes? As it is so big
I just Nike 🆔 these in a laker colorway and they really do look like the Kobe v away championship version. Best thing Nike could have done because I can’t get a pair of Kobe’s to save my life smh
Those Kobe V Dark Knights are my dream shoes! Nike, please protro the colorways people desire, not the weird and forgettable stuff you do with Kobe 8
Did they just use an image of a kobe 5 replica? Wow! Looks okay though.
Awesome review as always. 👌🏽
Waiting for this review!
🔥👍🏼
Uggh…. 🤦🏻♂️ I’d rather eat with an obnoxiously loud chewer than with a spitter. Instant appetite loss & 🤢. My uncle was a loud chewer so, I’m used to it. 🙃
It looks like a Kobe made for Decepticons! I kinda now want it!😂
I aint mad they needed some new kobe like shoes
For qotd:
What apocalypse do you think you have the best chance of surviving: Walking Dead, Terminator, Mad Max, Quiet Place, or BirdBox?
To me the Sabrina 2 feels like it is a ad like how they do the other Kobe’s or the cheaper version of 5 or how they do LeBrons
they need to make an actual protro kobe dark knight
Sabrina ones fit me super long in my true size. I wonder if this will happen with these...
These look so cool!
I’m beginning to think Nike begrudgingly worked with Vanessa for future Kobes. Why else would they make another shoe that’s so similar?
Sabrina’s line is dope but yeah Nike has ran itself dry with retros
1: If the signature athlete is only looking for minimal changes in tech and design, if the sales numbers are there Nike's gonna run with it. As much as people want new, they also want familiar.
2: Q.O.T.D. Give me a really long dinner table with seats at opposite ends, and I'm good with either one.
Nope. Think pre-Covid Hot Ones. That's how close you have to sit to this person.
@@WearTesters Fine, I'll take the loud chewer.☹️
i rather have the loud chewer than the spitter
If you were stranded on an island, what one tool would you use to survive? A spoon? A match? Or a balloon?
Do these run true to size? Nice vid 👍🏽
"U think? No, I feel." 😂😂😂 bruh definitely got him a solid one, and she has a sense of humor. 🫡
QOTD: Do you watch other sneakerns related youtubers? If yes, which one and do you learn anytning new from them or taking some inspirations?
What about Sabrina 2, I wonder what nike prepared for Clark sigs since Ionescu just like Caitlin used to wear Kobe before and her shoes are basically a budget Kobe models.
Sabrina 1 is the best shoe I've played in in the last decade.
What felt great about it? Been eying a pair on sale.
These questions of the day 😂
I prefer the blue colorway!
It looks like a Kobe but it also looks like the Sabrina 1’s if that makes sense.
Sabrina 1 looks like the Kobe 5 too.
Nike may have their own reasons for rehashing designs. Maybe Sabrina wanted that Kobe look and feel
Bro you have the drop on the show industry, Are the Adidas wonder runner/edge runner real?
that tee is sick
I love that blue color way
I agree I wanna see some future shit form Nike Basketball, Shit has felt stale since the LeBron 19.
great looking shoe, but have yet to try the sabrinas, this might be it..
to "Mutombo" food particles..😂😂😂
Almost every single day 👍🏼
Can we get an update of the broken in version?
My daughter really wanted to get the Sabrina 1s but they are just too narrow. Sounds like the 2 is more of the same.
Yes. Was hard to get my foot in
