Angel Reese has enjoyed a breakout year in 2025, establishing herself as a dominant force on the court while building a growing presence off it. In her second WNBA season with the Chicago Sky, she averaged 14.7 points, 12.6 rebounds, and 3.7 assists per game, reaffirming her status as one of the league’s premier rebounders. Her performances earned her a second consecutive All-Star nod.

Off the hardwood, Reese has expanded her personal brand, blending athletic excellence with fashion, entrepreneurship, and community engagement.

During the offseason, Reese opted out of the 3-on-3 “Unrivaled” league, where she was Defensive Player of the Year, to focus on her off-court ventures. She has been building her partnership with Reebok, teasing new signature products, while speculation about her future with the Sky has continued to grow.

On Monday, Reese announced she will open a basketball academy in her hometown of Baltimore in collaboration with Reebok.

“Investing in the next generation of hoopers, leaders, and young women who’ll change the world, starting right here in Baltimore. Saint Frances Academy Reebok X Angel Reese,” Reese wrote on X.

The academy, rooted in her alma mater Saint Frances Academy, is her latest show of commitment towards youth development and empowering the next generation.

Her partnership with Reebok has been central to her off-court growth. Earlier this year, she launched the SS25 Reebok × Angel collection, featuring performance and lifestyle pieces in her signature coral-pink and gold-chrome palette.

She also unveiled her first signature basketball shoe, the Angel Reese 1, which dropped in September 2025 and offers multiple colorways inspired by her Baltimore roots and bold personal style.

Through the academy and Reebok partnership, Reese is positioning herself to uplift the next generation both on and off the court.
