There’s a new queen in town, and her name is Sabrina Ionescu. The 25-year-old point guard for the New York Liberty just made waves in the fashion industry by partnering up with none other than Nike to design her own line of sneakers and matching apparel pieces. And let me tell you, it’s a match made in fashion heaven. Introducing the Nike Sabrina 1 Collection, a signature collection of sneakers and apparel, coming this summer!

Sabrina Ionescu

Sabrina is a force to be reckoned with both on and off the court. She’s a two-time Nancy Lieberman Award winner, the all-time NCAA leader in triple-doubles, and the first overall pick in the 2020 WNBA Draft. But that’s not all, she’s also an advocate for social justice and gender equality. In short, Sabrina is the kind of woman we all want to be.

So why is this such a big deal for Sabrina and women’s sports? For starters, it’s a sign that major brands like Nike are starting to take women’s sports seriously. After the recent drop of the Breanna Stewart x Puma – Stewie 1 “Four Time” sneakers, it appears that Nike is taking a page from Puma’s play book. Historically, women’s sports have been overlooked and undervalued in the media and in the fashion industry. But with partnerships like these, we’re starting to see a shift in the right direction.

But it’s also a big deal for Sabrina personally. As a woman who has worked hard to get where she is, she deserves to be celebrated and recognized for her achievements. And what better way to do that than by designing her own line of sneakers and apparel with one of the biggest names in fashion?

The Sabrina 1 Collection

When Nike approached Sabrina to collaborate on a new line of sneakers and apparel, it was a no-brainer. The Sabrina 1 sneakers are sleek, stylish, and functional. They also combine personalized features that are meaningful to Sabrina. The ‘S’ on the sneaker tongue is for Sabrina, and the ‘i’ on the heel of the shoes is for her last name Ionescu. Whether you’re running the court or just running errands, these sneakers will take you there in style.

But the Sabrina collection doesn’t stop there. Nike and Sabrina have also teamed up to design a range of matching apparel pieces. The collection includes a hoodie, T-shirts, shorts, and socks. The colourways include shades of purple, white, and black. Each piece is made with performance materials that will keep you comfortable and stylish no matter what you’re doing.

So, whether you’re a die-hard Sabrina fan or just someone who appreciates a good pair of sneakers, the Sabrina 1 collection is definitely worth checking out. Not only will you be supporting one of the most talented athletes in women’s sports today, but you’ll also be rocking some seriously stylish gear.

The Sabrina 1 collection is showing the world that women’s sports deserve a place in fashion. Sabrina is a force to be reckoned with both on and off the court. Stay tuned for updates on the exact date of the collection drop!

With the BNP Paribas Open underway in Indian Wells, it’s only natural we discuss tennis apparel. As we all know, tennis and fashion go hand in hand, and this year, Fila is celebrating 50 years of being a powerhouse brand for the sport. To mark this important milestone, the brand has released a new collection. Let’s take a closer look at what they have in store!

Fila’s commitment to the sport goes beyond just sponsorships and endorsements. They’ve also developed innovative technologies to improve the performance of tennis apparel.

One of the standout collections at the pop-up shop is the Tie Breaker Collection. It’s a nod to Fila’s heritage and iconic tennis style, with a modern twist. The collection features classic pieces like polo shirts and track jackets, but with updated colours and designs. You’ll definitely want to add a few items from this collection to your wardrobe.

Barbora Krejcikova, pictured above, is just one of many Fila athletes expected to debut the collection at the PNB Paribas Open. Krejcikova is seen wearing the Tie Breaker High Waisted Skort, the Tie Breaker Cross Back Tank, and the Axilus 2 Energized shoes.

The women’s Tie Breaker Collection includes six different tops (Strappy Cami Tank, Cross Back Tank, Printed Racerback Tank, Racerback Tank, Full Coverage Tank, Short Sleeve Tee), three skort options, a track jacket and pants, and a dress.

It’s clear that Fila is not just a fashion brand, but a brand that truly understands and values the sport of tennis. Their designs and technologies are made with the athlete in mind, ensuring that they can perform at their best.

She’s Back! A major announcement has hit the fashion world. It seems that Rihanna and Puma will be teaming up again! That’s right, Bad Gal RiRi herself is set to bring her unique vision and fashion-forward approach to the iconic sportswear brand. During one of the busiest and most hyped months for fashion, Puma dropped the news of the return of Fenty x Puma.

This isn’t the first time the superstar singer and fashion icon has joined forces with Puma. Back in 2014, Rihanna was named the creative director of the brand’s women’s line, Fenty x Puma. Her first collection debuted at New York Fashion Week in 2016 and was met with critical acclaim. Even fashion-forward model Gigi Hadid sported the brand!

Rihanna’s influence on the brand was undeniable. She brought a fresh perspective to the world of sportswear. Fenty x Puma blended high fashion with athletic wear in a way that had never been seen before. The collections were known for their bold colours, daring cuts, and edgy details. One of the most popular Fenty x Puma pieces was the ‘Creeper’ sneaker. RiRi arguably hailed the return of the platform sneaker back in 2016.

But it wasn’t just her designs that made her collaboration with Puma so successful. Rihanna brought her star power to the brand, using her massive social media following and fanbase to promote her collections and generate buzz around the brand.

Why did the Fenty x Puma Collaboration End?

It appears the two parted ways amicably. Rihanna became occupied with her own lines, including Fenty Beauty and Savage x Fenty. Though Fenty x Puma came to an end, Rihanna kept her hand in the fashion game. The superstar was initially set to release her own luxury fashion label ‘Fenty’, backed by non-other than the LVMH. In 2021, it was announced that the stars luxury fashion line was going to be put on ‘pause’ until further notice.

She’s Back

Fast forward to today, and it seems that Rihanna and Puma are ready to team up once again. The announcement of their new collaboration included the cryptic yet obvious Instagram post seen above. News of the renewed collaboration has been met with excitement from fans and fashion insiders alike.

While details about the new collection are still scarce, it’s safe to say that we can expect to see more of Rihanna’s signature style and bold design choices. If her previous collections are anything to go by, we can expect to see a range of sportswear that’s equal parts fashion-forward and functional.

So what can we expect from the new Rihanna x Puma collaboration? Only time will tell, but one thing’s for sure – it’s going to be a must-have for fashion-forward sportswear enthusiasts.

With Rihanna and Puma joining forces once again, we can’t wait to see what they have in store for us. Knowing Rihanna, this will be another sell-out collaboration. So, keep your eyes peeled and watch for updates as more information comes to light about this renewed collaboration!

Athleta wants in on the game of Tennis. With Tennis apparel and fashion being so popular, it’s no wonder Athleta wants a piece of the pie, so why not go all in? Athleta has just announced a partnership with the United States Tennis Association (USTA) and the launch of their brand-new Athleta Tennis Collection. As a tennis fan girl myself, I can’t wait to check out these stylish and functional pieces.

Tennis Collection

Athleta has partnered with the United States Tennis Association (USTA) to launch a brand-new collection of tennis-specific apparel.

This look features the Advantage Dress and Jacket, as well as some of Athleta’s new Tennis accessories the Courtside Bag and the Advantage Court Visor. Each of these items are available in a variety of colours, so you can mix and match to find your personal style.

Power of She Collective

But that’s not all! Athleta has also launched the Power of She Collective initiative, with former Olympic gold medalist Monica Puig joining as their newest tennis ambassador. Puig’s addition reinforces Athleta’s commitment to empowering women and girls through sport. As a trailblazer in women’s Tennis, she is a role model for young girls and women everywhere.

The Power of She Collective is Athleta’s initiative to empower women and girls through sports. The initiative focuses on creating a supportive community for female athletes. It also works to inspire young women and girls to pursue their athletic dreams. The collective includes ambassadors who are athletes, coaches, and fitness instructors, all working together to promote female empowerment through sport.

Athleta’s Tennis Collection and the Power of She Collective initiative are both exciting developments for women’s sports. I’m thrilled to see a brand that prioritizes functionality, style, and sustainability while also creating a supportive community for female athletes. So, if you’re a tennis player, make sure to check out Athleta’s new collection and hit the court in style.

It’s that time of year again. Valentine’s Day, you either love it or you loathe it. It’s a day that often creeps up too soon after the new year. Whether you have a beau or you’re kicking it solo, you may or may not be feeling a bit spendy. After all, if you can’t love yourself, how can you expect anyone else to? However you choose to rationalize your seasonally appropriate spending, Adidas may have just the treat you’re looking for. Introducing the Adidas Valentine’s Day collection.

Adidas Valentine’s Day Collection 2023

Adidas releases a Valentine’s Day collection every year. The brand drops a Valentine’s Day collection as a way to tap into the consumer demand for holiday-themed merchandise. Around Valentine’s Day, people often look for gifts to show their love and affection to their partners, friends, and family. By releasing a collection that is specifically designed for the holiday, Adidas is able to offer customers a range of products that are perfect for gift-giving.

The Adidas Valentine’s Day collection typically includes a range of sportswear, shoes, and accessories. The collection is designed with a love-themed twist, or shades of red or pink to symbolize the holiday. The collection usually includes pieces for both men and women, so there’s something for everyone. Some popular items in the past have been graphic tees with heart logos or love-themed slogans, shoes with hearts on the side or insole, and even cute accessories like heart-shaped keychains or tote bags. It’s a great way to show some love to yourself or your significant other, by gifting them a cool and stylish Adidas item.

The Highlights

1 of 5

Though the entire collection includes many pieces, here are some notable highlights. The first image showcases a pair of Adidas Valentine’s Day Ultraboost 1.0 sneakers. The sneakers come in both black and white, and feature hearts on the upper portion of the shoes, with a confetti-style sole. These sneakers are unisex, as are many of the items featured in the Valentine’s Day collection.

The second style of sneakers featured in this collection is the Superstar Bonega shoes. Drawing inspiration from the peanut butter and jelly sandwich, the colouring of these sneakers makes up the perfect pairing. Valentine’s Day is all about being ‘better together’ and these sneakers perfectly encapsulate that motif.

The final pieces I want to highlight include both the Valentine’s Day sweatshirt and pants. These two are undoubtedly the perfect pair. This set comes in both magenta pink and a dark heather grey. The pants feature an embroidered heart detail near the cuff. The sweatshirt features a similar embroidered heart on the center front. The most notable detail appears in writing on the back of the sweatshirt. The writing says, “Be your own, Big love, Best love, Forever love, Boyfriend, Girlfriend, Best Friend, Valentine, Palentine, Galentine, All love.”

Whether you’re celebrating alone, with your partner, or with your besties, this collection has something for everyone.

Happy Valentine’s Day. Xoxo
