“I’ve built a platform outside of basketball and I think that’s why a lot of people love me. I have nails, I have hair, lashes – I’m the Barbie,” said Chicago Sky forward Angel Reese.
On Aug. 23, she’ll also have her first footwear and apparel collection. Reebok by Angel features a full range of performance and lifestyle footwear and apparel, inspired by Reese’s feminine energy and style on and off the court. The Reese and Reebok collaboration includes three footwear styles, the Premier Road VI, BB 4000 II, and Classic Leather, in a color palette of Always Blue and Silver Chrome to complement Reese’s style. The capsule also introduces new fits such as the black Angel Graphic Tee, the blue and black Angel Vector Track Jacket, and the Angel Lux Bodysuit.
Reese has built a solid first-year campaign for the Chicago Sky, averaging 13.5 points and 12.0 rebounds. She appeared in the 2024 WNBA All-Star Game and became the first rookie to drop a double-double. She signed her endorsement deal with Reebok in October 2023, citing her desire to be the brand’s female face and her relationship with NBA great Shaquille O’Neal, who serves as Reebok Basketball’s president.
“I wanted to create a collection that allowed women and girls everywhere to embrace their femininity and power in whatever they’re doing,” Reese said. “This collection is for HER to be stylish and fierce on all occasions.”
he WNBA rookie worked closely with Reebok and put another stamp on the line in the form of her mantra “When they sleep on you … tuck them in!” etched into the sneakers’ insoles and on T-shirts.
“Angel’s dedication and hands-on collaboration throughout the collection’s design process was such a special privilege,” Portia Blunt, SVP of Product at Reebok, said. “Angel is inspiring women everywhere to be bold and express themselves, and this collection is a representation of her.”
The Reebok by Angel lifestyle brand drops at a time when Reese is firmly fixed into pop culture as a player, fashion tastemaker, and all-around needle mover. It also makes good on her promise when she signed with Reebok: She’s bringing Reebok back. And in a way that goes beyond the basketball court.
“For me, it’s about showing I’m not just a basketball player. The rappers. The singers. Everyone knows who I am,” said Reese.
The all-new Reebok by Angel collection will be available on Reebok.com and at select retailers worldwide. All footwear is available in adult sizes, with kids’ offerings in the BB 4000 II and Classic Leather silhouettes available.
