Reebok, the renowned apparel and footwear brand, has once again made waves in the world of sports fashion with the release of its latest collection, the Angel Reese Collection. This exciting new line is a collaboration with WNBA star Angel Reese, who has been making headlines not only for her exceptional skills on the court but also for her recent partnership with Reebok. The collection is a testament to Reebok’s commitment to empowering female athletes and celebrating their achievements both on and off the court.
The collaboration between Angel Reese and Reebok is particularly significant as it marks a turning point for the brand in terms of representation and inclusivity. Shaquille O’Neal, the basketball legend, played a pivotal role in recruiting Angel Reese to represent the brand.
The clothing line, inspired by her ‘powerful energy and versatile style,’ features three sneaker styles: the Premier Road VI, BB 4000 II, and Classic Leather.
Of course, the WNBA star put her own unique stamp on the shoes, etching her matra – ‘when they sleep on you … tuck them in’ – on the insoles.
The blue and silver hued collection also features a graphic tee, a track jacket and a bodysuit.
‘I wanted to create a collection that allowed women and girls everywhere to embrace their femininity and power in whatever they’re doing,’ Reese said in a press release, noting she wants customers to feel ‘stylish and fierce.’
She also gave a shoutout her her ‘Uncle Shaq’ aka Shaquille O’Neal, whose first move after he was named the brand’s president of basketball was signing Reese.
‘[Reebok] serves as a true creative partner, and we’re really able to collaborate on pieces designed to elicit confidence and expression,’ Reese told Highsnobiety on Thursday.
‘Being able to work with legends like Uncle Shaq and Allen Iverson, and to represent women in basketball is also an incredible honor.’
She went on, ‘I worked hand-in-hand with the brand to ensure each and every piece is designed to elicit confidence and expression.’
The Chicago Sky rookie, who was still playing for LSU when she inked the deal with Reebok, has been credited with helping boost the WNBA’s ratings, merchandise sales and attendance at games.
As Reese continues to make strides in her career, both on and off the court, her partnership with Reebok will undoubtedly inspire a new generation of female athletes to dream big, break barriers, and embrace their unique journey to success.
