It’s been a big week for Chicago Sky superstar All-Star. While dominating on the court in a historic fashion, Reese has been named to her second All Star game, revealed as the 2K26 cover star for the WNBA edition of the game, and Reebok also unveiled her first signature sneaker.

On Wednesday morning, the brand shared a picture of Reese holding a sleek pair of shoes, with the caption, “Introducing the Angel Reese 1. Coming soon.”

Reese followed up with her own post and a more extensive statement, revealing the colorway name as Diamond Dust. The second-year WNBA player expressed that she’s just a kid from Baltimore turning her dreams into reality and inspiring others to do the same.

Reese first signed with Reebok when she was still a student at LSU. With Shaquille O'Neal and Allen Iverson taking over the basketball department of the brand, it only made sense that Reese was their first signing, considering she refers to O'Neal as Uncle Shaq.

Reebok and Reese agreed to a multi-year extension back in October of 2024, and that’s when they first announced she would have a signature shoe coming in 2026.

Earlier this year, the company unveiled Reese’s signature logo and made it clear this was just the beginning. Reebok is following up on that statement with the reveal of her iridescent signature shoe.

With the release date for the shoe still set to be sometime in 2026, fans will have to wait a bit before they can get their hands on the sneakers. However, since it is her shoe, and the design appears to be complete, Reese will likely start donning the shoes this season as a part of the rollout process for her first signature sneakers.
