'This Is a Really Important Moment for Me:' Chicago Sky Star Angel Reese Opens Up About Having a Signature Shoe With Reebok

WNBA star Angel Reese of the Chicago Sky has a signature shoe with Reebok.

Her first shoe, the Angel 1s, will drop on September 18.

“It’s great,” Reese told Kayla Webley Adler of Elle. “It’s a blessing. I don’t know when the perfect time would be, because so many great things are happening at once all the time for me…but I know fans have been wondering and asking about it. And I know it was supposed to come in 2026, but I thought, Why not now? Why not year two? Why not be able to wear my shoe while I’m playing and striving for great things?

“Being able to have the support that I have right now with the fans is really important to me, and I’m trying to maximize everything while I can. This is a really important moment for me right now, and I’m really excited for it to launch.”

Reese, one of the best rebounders in the WNBA, agreed to a multi-year endorsement contract extension with Reebok in October 2024. 

“Reebok is back! We’re bringing back that old-school look, the old-school vibes,” Reese said. “People are going to be wearing Reebok everywhere, just like how they wear Jordans everywhere. I want people to wear the Angel Reese 1s everywhere and just to be a household name, to have no limits on what I can do and what I can accomplish.”

Reese, who hasn’t played since July 29 due to a back injury, has 17 double-doubles and one triple-double for the Sky this season. She’s averaging 14.2 points, 12.6 rebounds, 3.7 assists, 1.5 steals and 0.7 blocks while shooting 44.4% from the field, 20.0% from beyond the arc and 79.0% from the free-throw line.

A two-time All-Star, Reese is averaging 13.8 points, 12.9 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 1.4 steals and 0.5 blocks since getting drafted by the Sky with the seventh overall pick in the 2024 WNBA Draft. The LSU product has 43 double-doubles in 57 career games.
