There’s no denying that Angel Reese was one of the brightest new stars in the WNBA in her first season, contributing over 13 points and 13 rebounds per game. Her exciting season unfortunately came to an early conclusion due to a wrist injury that she suffered last month, but she’s not letting that stop her from making big moves. Reese is already looking ahead to next season with the Chicago Sky and has just announced a release period for her debut signature shoe with Reebok – set to drop in the spring of 2026.

Original Story: Angel Reese Joins Reebok for Her Own Signature Sneaker Line
It looks like the newly drafted WNBA star for the Chicago Sky, Angel Reese, is getting her own signature Reebok sneaker line. In a bold move, the former LSU star took to social media to explain why she chose Reebok over Nike. Despite receiving a lucrative endorsement deal from Nike, Reese explained that she favored Reebok because they did not have a prominent female basketball player as the face of their brand. In response to criticism, Reese stated, “So many different shoe companies wanted to work with me. But I chose Reebok. What was it about Reebok? One, they don’t have a women’s basketball player [as] a face. So I wanted to be that.” She added, “Two, Shaq. You know my relationship with Shaq. And three, I like how they’re rebranding everything and they’re letting me be the creator behind everything I want to do. So I’m having my own shoe line coming out, merch with my name on it…Y’all like what I wear, y’all like how I dress, y’all like my style. I wanted to incorporate that into Reebok.” With full control over her signature products, Reese has the creative freedom to revamp the brand through her own unique lens. By appealing to a younger group of consumers, Reese is expected to tap into a new market through her strong social media presence. Check out her announcement below for more details.
