Angel Reese, star forward for the Chicago Sky, continues to expand her influence beyond basketball with the upcoming release of the Reebok Angel Reese sneaker. Set to launch in the summer of 2026, the new colorway titled “Unapologetically Angel” reflects Reese’s unapologetic personality and her ongoing partnership with Reebok that began in 2023.
Since signing one of the most significant NIL deals at the time, Reebok has backed Reese’s rise from her collegiate success at LSU to her breakout rookie season in the WNBA, where she set the single-season rebounding record with 446 boards.
Background on Angel Reese’s Partnership and Signature Line
Angel Reese first joined forces with Reebok in 2023, even before her WNBA draft, marking a strong belief in her potential. Following her stellar rookie year and record-breaking achievements, Reebok extended her contract in 2024 to include a dedicated signature sneaker. The initial model, the Reebok Angel Reese 1, debuted in September 2025, making Reese only the thirteenth player in WNBA history to have a signature shoe.
Discussions about the next iteration, the Angel Reese 2, are already underway, highlighting her continued growth in both sport and brand presence.
Design and Details of the ‘Unapologetically Angel’ Colorway
The “Unapologetically Angel” edition draws inspiration from Reese’s podcast of the same name, echoing her vibrant and genuine character. The sneaker’s upper showcases a dynamic mix of pastel shades including cotton candy pink, soft blue, lavender, and seafoam green. A swirling pattern decorates the rubber cage that overlays a white mesh base, creating a playful yet cohesive aesthetic.
The multicolored design continues onto the midsole and outsole, making this the most colorful release in the Angel Reese 1 lineup so far. This bold approach underlines the sneaker’s representation of Reese’s fearless self-expression.
Release Information and Availability
Scheduled for a summer 2026 drop, the Reebok Angel Reese 1 “Unapologetically Angel” will retail at $130. The shoe will be accessible through Reebok’s official channels as well as select retailers, offered in a complete range of sizes. Fans and sneaker enthusiasts alike are eagerly anticipating the release as another exciting chapter in Reese’s partnership with Reebok unfolds.
Community Reactions and Future Prospects
This new addition to Angel Reese’s signature sneaker collection has sparked interest as it symbolizes her expanding legacy in the WNBA and beyond. The collaboration not only celebrates her athletic achievements but also her personal brand and voice off the court. With the promise of an Angel Reese 2 already in development, her influence in sneaker culture and sports marketing looks set to grow substantially.
