Sky F Angel Reese will have her “first footwear and apparel collection” make its debut when her Reebok line launches on Aug. 23, according to Marcus Shorter of ANDSCAPE. Reebok by Angel “features a full range of performance and lifestyle footwear and apparel” The which will feature three footwear styles will feature “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 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.” She signed her endorsement deal with Reebok in October 2023, citing her desire to be the brand’s female face and her relationship with Basketball HOFer Shaquille O’Neal, who serves as Reebok Basketball’s president. Shorter noted Reebok by Angel “drops at a time when Reese is firmly fixed into pop culture as a player, fashion tastemaker, and all-around needle mover” (ANDSCAPE, 8/8).

Minnesota Lynx star Napheesa Collier and New York Liberty standout Breanna Stewart have started a new women’s 3-on-3 basketball league called ‘Unrivaled’ that will feature many WNBA stars.

In late July, the new league revealed that Chicago Sky forward Angel Reese is one of the many WNBA players who will be participating in the inaugural season next year.

Angel Reese recently commented on a post from the Chicago Sky’s official account on social media, poking fun at her newest teammate, Rachel Banham.

The Sky posted a picture of Banham, quietly comparing the Chicago guard to American rapper Latto.

They made a joke that Banham had dropped her album on Thursday and then showed up to practice on Friday since the rapper from Atlanta released her album less than 24 hours ago.

“Dropped an album last night, then showed up to practice this morning (iykyk),” posted the Chicago Sky.

Angel Reese then responded with the message, “BIG MAMAAAA,” which is a nickname for Latto.

Latto released her newest album, “Sugar Honey Iced Tea,” which includes 21 songs and remixes with Megan Thee Stallion and Cardi B. 

Fans seem to believe the comparison was spot-on, with over 60 comments posting laughing emojis or hilarious responses.

Banham was added to the Sky’s roster via trade during the WNBA’s break in the season for the 2024 Paris Olympics.

Chicago traded for Banham, Moriah Jefferson, a 2025 first-round pick, and the right to a 2026 first-round pick swap from the Connecticut Sun. The Sky dealt Marina Mabrey and a 2025 second-round pick in the trade.

Banham has averaged 4.8 points and 1.2 rebounds per game during the 2024 WNBA season. She was previously selected with the No. 4 overall pick in the 2016 WNBA draft.

Angel Reese, Banham, and the Sky will be back on the hard court, returning from the WNBA’s hiatus on Aug. 15 at 8 p.m. against the Phoenix Mercury.

Banham will make her team debut, while Reese looks to pick up where she left off in the first half of the WNBA season.

The first-year star averaged 13.5 points and 11.9 rebounds during her first few months in the league.

“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.”

Chicago Sky forward Angel Reese’s star just keeps on shining – even during the long WNBA break.

While Reese and the Sky prepare for the return of WNBA action, Reebok revealed early Thursday that it will debut her first collection with the footwear and clothing brand on August 23.

Via Boardroom:

“Featuring three footwear styles and seven apparel pieces, the assortment launching on August 23rd features Reese’s unapologetic bold style through metallic ‘silver chrome’ and an icy ‘always blue’ color palette. “

Reese and Sky fans finally have a date to circle on their calendars after waiting for her first Reebok line to drop.

Based on the majority of initial reactions to Reese’s Reebok collection, it seems that stores that will be selling them should prepare for an influx of consumers looking to spend their dollars on the former LSU Tigers star’s apparel and sneakers.

“And yes I’m getting her stuff because I love seeing her win 😌”

“ABSOLUTELY, I’LL BUY THEM! Glad she went with Reebok 💯”

“Will be buying HURRY”

“You see that wide leg pants???? I am buying it STAT!”

“So cute 😍 I need it”

“She bout to bring REE BOK BACK!!!!”

Reese is more than just about style, though. She is also among the best players in the WNBA in the 2024 season.

So far in her first year as a pro, Reese is averaging 13.5 points, 12.0 rebounds, and 1.5 steals per game.

The 10-14 Sky will return to action on August 15 for a home game against the Phoenix Mercury.

Angel Reese is ready for the WNBA season to resume.

The 2024 Summer Olympics have been exciting. Team USA women’s basketball is hoping to win the gold medal. Meanwhile, the USA women’s 3X3 team earned a bronze medal on Sunday. However, Chicago Sky star rookie Angel Reese is ready for the WNBA season to get underway once again.

Although a number of teams are practicing, games will not resume until mid-August as the Olympics continue. Reese shared a three-word message on her Instagram story, expressing her desire to start playing games soon, via SkyTown Central on X (formerly Twitter).

“i miss gamedays,” Reese wrote on a picture in her Instagram story.

Chicago is 10-14 overall. The Sky are in fourth place in the Eastern Conference. Chicago is hoping to make a legitimate playoff push following the Olympic break. Reese’s performance will be important without question during the final month of the regular season.

Angel Reese making WNBA Rookie of the Year case

Angel Reese

Reese, 22, is enjoying a strong rookie season. She was selected to the WNBA All-Star team. Reese is also among the favorites for Rookie of the Year along with Indiana Fever star rookie Caitlin Clark.

Reese is averaging 13.5 points per game on 40.2 percent field goal shooting. She is also recording 11.9 rebounds and 1.4 steals per outing. Reese always seems to either earn or fall just short of a double-double. In fact, she had a historic 15 game double-double streak earlier in the season.

The Sky’s future is bright. They are likely still a couple of years away from emerging as serious championship contenders. With that being said, Chicago fans have every right to be excited for the future.

Angel Reese is only going to improve as well. She is already playing at a high level at only 22 years old. It has become clear in 2024 that Reese and Clark are set to lead the WNBA for years to come.
