Angel Reese's 'Reebok by Angel' takes flight
The WNBA rookie is bringing Reebok's cultural cache back to the forefront with a new lifestyle capsule collection.
The WNBA double-double record-breaking basketball star Angel Reese is making more waves with a new Reebok collection. Reese signed with Reebok in October 2023, just before her final collegiate run — a decision helmed by Reebok's President of Basketball, Shaquille O'Neal, to sign the then-LSU star to its first major NIL deal. With this deal, the Chi Barbie reportedly wanted to blaze her own path and bring "Reebok back." The Reebok by Angel is the first play to do just that with a full range of performance and lifestyle footwear and apparel.
In a statement, Reese expressed her excitement about the collection.
"I am honored to unveil my first collection with Reebok, and I worked hand in hand with the brand to ensure each and every piece is designed to elicit confidence and expression," Reese says.
"I wanted to create a collection that allowed women and girls everywhere to embrace their femininity and power in whatever they're doing. This collection is for HER to be stylish and fierce on all occasions. "
The Reebok by Angel collection features a bold, icy color palette featuring "Always Blue" and "Silver Chrome," with expressive design details that complement Reese's dynamic style. The collaboration includes three footwear styles, the Premier Road VI, BB 4000 II, and Classic Leather, alongside new fits such as the black Angel Graphic Tee, the blue and black Angel Vector Track Jacket, and the Angel Lux Bodysuit. The Chicago Sky forward worked closely with Reebok to give these items the Reese signature touch in the form of her mantra "When they sleep on you … tuck them in!" etched into the sneakers' insoles and on T-shirts.
All footwear is available in adult sizes, with kids' offerings in the BB 4000 II and Classic Leather silhouettes available.
"Angel's dedication and hands-on collaboration throughout the collection's design process was such a special privilege," Portia Blunt, SVP of Product at Reebok, said. "Angel is inspiring women everywhere to be bold and express themselves, and this collection is a representation of her."
The Reebok by Angel collection will be available on Reebok.com and select retailers worldwide beginning August 23, 2024.
