Angel Reese’s stock continues to soar in WNBA circles, with her relentless defense and impeccable timing on both ends of the court making her a fan favorite across the league. Since entering the league, Reese has not only dominated on the court but has also made waves off it with her distinctive style and growing reputation as a fashion icon. Her flair has attracted major endorsement deals, including partnerships with Beats by Dre, Sports Illustrated Swimsuit, and now, Reebok.
Reese’s collaboration with Reebok marks a significant milestone for both her and the brand. For Reese, it’s an opportunity to blend her unique style with the brand’s rich history, standing alongside icons like Shaquille O’Neal and Allen Iverson, who were recently appointed as Reebok’s president and vice president of basketball operations, respectively. For Reebok, this partnership provides a much-needed on-court representative to rejuvenate its presence in the basketball world, where it has historically been overshadowed by giants like Nike and Adidas.
Reese is the first basketball player to sign with Reebok under the new leadership of O’Neal and Iverson, who ensured her arrival was celebrated with the launch of her own apparel line, “Reebok by Angel.” This collection is a testament to Reese’s influence, featuring designs that reflect her personal style and values.
Explaining her decision to join Reebok, Reese said, “So many different shoe companies wanted to work with me. But I chose Reebok. Why? First, they didn’t have a women’s basketball player as a face, and I wanted to be that. Second, my relationship with Shaq was a big factor. And third, I love how they’re rebranding and letting me be the creator behind everything I want to do. I’m working on my own shoe line, and I’ll have merch with my name on it. People love what I wear and how I dress, and I wanted to bring that into Reebok.”
Reese’s vision for her fashion line is now becoming a reality, with “Reebok by Angel” marking her entry into the sportswear world. She has been deeply involved in the design process, ensuring that the collection embodies her principles. One key element of the line is confidence, especially in the face of doubt. Reese’s mantra, “When they sleep on you … tuck them in!” is featured prominently on several pieces, symbolizing her drive and determination.
As for the possibility of a signature shoe, all signs point to Reese eventually receiving one. Her outstanding performance and status as the only women’s basketball player signed to Reebok give her the creative freedom to shape the brand’s direction, something that might not have been possible with a more established brand like Nike. Reese has expressed her desire to help revive Reebok’s reputation, and a signature shoe could be a significant step in that direction. If it comes to fruition, it’s likely to be highly sought after by her growing fanbase.
While the timeline for the release of her signature shoe is still unknown, Reese is already in an advantageous position, securing revenue through collaborations on Reebok’s apparel line.
Regarding her net worth, while exact figures are not public, Reese’s NIL deals were reportedly valued at around $1.8 million during her time at LSU. It’s likely that her current net worth is in a similar range, though it may continue to grow as her career progresses and her influence expands.
