Chicago Sky forward Angel Reese is heading to her second WNBA All-Star Game. The 23-year-old out of LSU is averaging 13.2 points and 12.9 rebounds through 18 games this season. These numbers are aided by an 11-game stretch that has seen her score in double-figures 10 times, averaging 15.7 points and 13.4 rebounds over that span.

In addition to her play on the court, Reese remains a prominent figure off it. From hosting her own podcast to dropping merchandise with the recently trademarked "Mebounds" nickname, Reese continues ascending in her stardom.

The second-year forward is also a Reebok athlete and one of the brand's biggest stars.

On Wednesday, Reese and Reebok announced some big news. In a post on X, the brand unveiled the Angel Reese 1, her first signature shoe. This announcement was made in connection with Reese, who collaborated with Reebok for an Instagram post, and also sent her own message on X.

"AR-1’s COMING SOON!" she exclaimed.
