Although they lost, Sabally had something special going on. During the game, she debuted her first signature Adidas PE: The Unicorn Don 6. It was a special achievement for the WNBA star since the pair had some of the things that were dear to her heart.
The details include the names of her two brothers, Amadou and Marabie. It also showed her SaSa logo on the bottom, with the Unicorn logo on the lock lining. The No. 0, which is what she wears on her jersey, is on the shoe’s tongue. Lastly, it shows “Zero Fear” and “Epic Things” inside the pair, which were the words spoken to her by the late Kobe Bryant.
