WATCH: WNBA superstar’s heart-melting surprise for Iowa’s team with viral Sabrina 1’s

As the Iowa Hawkeyes gear up for their 2024 NCAA Final Four showdown against the UConn Huskies, Caitlin Clark and her fellow teammates received a special surprise from Sabrina Ionescu – Nike Sabrina 1’s. The encounter between these two women’s basketball stars was a heartwarming moment as they embraced each other.

The Hawkeyes greeted the New York Liberty point guard with applause as she entered the room and delivered a motivational speech.

“Enjoy what you guys have done so far,”Ionescu said. “Enjoy where you’re at. It’s a lot bigger than yourselves and you guys have been saying that from what you have been able to do in the last couple of years here.”

At the conclusion of her speech, Sabrina Ionescu delighted the Hawkeyes by presenting them with a special gift – a pair of Nike Sabrina 1 shoes. What made this even more exciting was that the shoes were the newest “Exclamat!on”colorway.

“Thank you for wearing my shoe. Good luck and I will be watching. Go out there and kill it,”Ionescu said.

Sabrina Ionescu showed her appreciation by embracing every Hawkeye player and engaging in a short conversation with Caitlin Clark. The WNBA All-Star also made sure to capture the moment by posing for photographs with each player. Some even requested for Ionescu’s signature on their new shoes before gathering for a group picture.

The Hawkeyes were given apparel that included matching shirts and pants from Nike, in addition to the shoes.
