After the New York Liberty defeated the Las Vegas Aces 82-63 in the WNBA Commissioners Cup, Liberty superstar Sabrina Ionescu shared on social media that the sneakers she wore in the game were stolen from Michelob Ultra Arena.

The announcement was actually more of a plea for the return of the custom-made insoles that came with her signature “Sabrina 1s.” The shoes were made with specially modified feet due to her previous injury history, it is said WNBA reporter Khristina Williams.

Williams also said a source familiar with the situation said Ionescu assumes the boots were taken after the Commissioners Cup game or the morning before the shooting. The shoes were locked in a room adjacent to the guest dressing room, which only certain arena and team staff had access to.

“I never thought my shoes would be stolen from an opposing arena…” Ionescu posted Thursday about half an hour after the shooting ended before another game against Las Vegas.

“Please just bring my insoles back.” RIP to my Sabrina 1s’

Ionescu had just launched the ‘Oregon’ colorway for the boots during the championship game.

She finished the Finals with 12 points, eight rebounds and two assists, and also had three straight points early in the fourth quarter.

In the second duel this week, the Aces retaliated for losing to New York in the Cup final, but Ionescu was the best for the Liberty in the loss despite being stripped of her valuable custom insoles and signature shoes, and her name in WNBA history entered.

Not only was Ionescu just the third player in league history, alongside Diana Taurasi and Kelsey Plum, to score 100 or more 3-pointers in a season, but he also now ranks behind the duo with the most 3-pointers in the league a season.

Additionally, Ionescu recorded her 11th game of the season with five or more 3-pointers, passing Taurasi the most times in a season.

Ionescu had the team’s best performance with 22 points, plus four rebounds and two assists, although the details of her footwear in Thursday’s game are not yet clear.
