After Shaquille O’Neal made signing Angel Reese a priority for Reebok, the first collaboration line is set to be released on Aug. 23 with sneakers and apparel.
The first
Reebok and Chicago Sky guard Angel Reese have released their first line since the WNBA rookie was signed last year. Reese, who was still in college with LSU at the time, was hand-picked by NBA legend Shaquille O’Neal and became the first player to sign a major NIL deal with the company.
The debut line is titled “Reebok by Angel” and features apparel and footwear approved by Reese, who played a major role in the production process.
A statement shared to Men’s Journal by Reebok read: “A full range of performance and lifestyle footwear and apparel inspired by Reese’s versatile style on and off the court. Paying homage to Reese’s unapologetic nature and explosive energy, the collection features a bold icy color palette of ‘Always Blue’ and ‘Silver Chrome,’ plus expressive design details throughout.”
The color scheme seems to match the jerseys worn by the Sky, who selected Reese with the seventh pick of the 2024 WNBA Draft. Reese is “honored” for the opportunity to work with Reebok, a brand that put its faith in her after she gained notoriety with the Tigers.
“I am honored to unveil my first collection with Reebok,” Reese said before adding, “worked hand in hand with the brand to ensure each and every piece is designed to elicit confidence and expression.” The footwear released in Angel’s debut line includes “The Premier Road VI” which are retro sneakers that provide all-day comfort.
Reese has also commissioned a classic leather design along with a retro Reebok basketball sneaker. The shoes all retail between $100-$120 before tax. There are also track jackets and t-shirts released in the debut line, with a new catchphrase being associated with Reese’s name.
The “Angel Vector Track Jacket” is an alteration of Reebok’s classic style, which is meant to reflect a new approach to a vintage design. The jacket retails for $80, and the clean design has already received a positive reaction online.
Reese’s t-shirts feature the phrase “When They Sleep On You…Tuck Them In!” and customers can choose to have the print small or large. The shirts retail for $40, and they’ll be available to purchase along with all other products on Aug. 23.
“Angel’s dedication and hands-on collaboration throughout the collection’s design process was such a special privilege,” Portia Blunt, senior vice president of Products at Reebok said. “Angel is inspiring women everywhere to be bold and express themselves, and this collection is a representation of that.”
The line has been made possible by Shaq, who acted quickly after being appointed President of Reebok Basketball. “For my first appointment in this role, it had to be the GOAT,” O’Neal said at the time. “There is no one making a bigger impact on the game right now than Angel Reese.”
