SLAM Teams Up on Nike Sabrina 4 "Smoke Grey," Hiding a Hint of Mint Green in the Grayscale

Basketball culture magazine SLAM has crafted a collaborative colorway for Sabrina Ionescu's fourth signature shoe. Smoke Grey serves as the main tone, with Mint Foam and Safety Orange tucked into the details, dropping August 22 for $135.

This time, SLAM didn't go for the loud, attention-grabbing route. The Nike Sabrina 4 collab colorway is named "Smoke Grey," with the shoe's main body sitting in gray-black tones — a sneaker that looks quite restrained at first glance.

But restrained doesn't mean plain. The color palette also lists two seemingly mismatched hues — Mint Foam and Safety Orange — one cool, one warm, placed as accents within the gray-black base. This is also the only spot where the shoe's "collab feel" can really be spotted — not through large blocks of contrasting color, but through a touch of tension left in the details.

As a media brand deeply rooted in basketball culture for years, SLAM's choice to collaborate on Sabrina Ionescu's signature shoe line echoes, in a way, Sabrina's own presence on the court: no flashy moves for attention, just consistent output that speaks for itself. The color logic of this shoe, in some sense, replicates that same tone.
