First Look: Angel Reese’s Reebok Collection Set To Launch Soon
Reebok has teamed up with WNBA All-Star Angel Reese to launch their first collaborative shoe and apparel collection, “Reebok by Angel.” The collection is inspired by Reese’s unique style, both on and off the court. Back in May, Chicago Sky star Angel Reese announced her signature sneaker line with Reebok, though the release date was initially kept under wraps. Now, the wait is over, as Reebok has unveiled official images and the launch date for the collection.
The collab includes three different footwear models and a selection of apparel that reflects Reeseâs bold and feminine style. The clothing line features outerwear, tops, pants, shorts, a bodysuit, and a bralette, with prices ranging from $35 to $100 USD. Standout items include a graphic tee with her motto, “When They Sleep on YouâŚTuck Them In!,” the “Always Blue” 7/8 bodysuit, and the Angel Lux Contour Crop Top and Bike Short in a striking “Silver Chrome” colorway.
As for the footwear, the collection features three sneakers based on Reebokâs Premier Road Plus VI, BB 4000 II, and Classic Leather silhouettes. Priced between $100 and $120 USD, all three styles are offered in a âSilver/Always Blue-Whiteâ colorway and feature Reeseâs mantra on the insoles.
The Angel Reese x Reebok collection will be available at Reebok and select retailers starting August 23.
Some people are wondering why the former LSU star didnât choose Nike. The young basketball player took to social media recently to explain why she picked Reebok.
Reese explained in a video that she favored Reebok because they didnât have a prominent female basketball player as the face of their brand. She said, âSo many different shoe companies wanted to work with me. But I chose Reebok. What was it about Reebok? One, they donât have a womenâs basketball player [as] a face. So I wanted to be that.â
The basketball player also mentioned that her relationship with Shaq âPresident of Reebok Basketballâ influenced her decision. She also said that Reebok is ârebranding everythingâ and theyâre letting her be the creator âbehind everythingâ she wants to do. âSo Iâm having my own shoe line coming out, merch with my name on itâŚYâall like what I wear, yâall like how I dress, yâall like my style. I wanted to incorporate that into Reebok.â
The brand announced the partnership with Reese on Instagram in October. The post said, âReebok x Angel Reese â She wears a uniform on the court, now see her hand-picked Reebok uniform she sports off the court.â Reese recently confirmed her own signature line to add to the excitement.
