Summary
- Images of the Nike Sabrina 4 “Christmas” (IQ0849-600) surfaced today: Bright Crimson/Black-Electric Green, with a brand-new translucent synthetic shroud zipped over the entire upper — the Swoosh still visible on top of it.
- An attached badge marks the pair as part of a new Nike “Christmas Label” series (and jokes that this one sits on Santa’s “Naughty” list); a second tag stamps the special edition “for lifestyle only.”
- Expected December 2026 at select Nike Basketball retailers and Nike.com in unisex sizing, priced at $155.
Ionescu was left off Nike’s 2025 Christmas invite list — that effort ran through the Kobe 3, LeBron 23, Freak 7, Ja 3 and KD 18. The 2026 list rights the wrong in the loudest way possible: her shoe is the one that changes shape.
The shroud is the whole story. A synthetic cover envelops the Sabrina 4’s upper entirely, zipping the usual textural depth of the silhouette into a smooth, seamless shell with the Swoosh riding on the outside. Underneath the theatre, the details keep the joke going — the “Naughty” badge, the lifestyle-only tag, and a moody crimson-and-black palette cut with electric green.
Nike is promising more where this came from: the same attachment names a full “Christmas Label” series across the signature lineup. For now, the Sabrina is the face of it — and at $155, it is the holiday pair everyone will be unzipping on camera.
