On the outsoles, high-abrasion rubber ensures top-notch traction via a multi-directional outsole tread design.“This isn’t just a shoe, it’s my style, my story, and my stamp on the game,” said Reese in a statement. “I wanted to design a basketball shoe that elevates performance, innovation, style, and creative expression, all at once. Reebok and I built something that’s true to who I am, and I hope it pushes others to stand in their power too. At the end of the day, it’s built for basketball – made to move and perform at the highest level.”The Angel Reese 1 Basketball Shoes retails for $120 USD and is set for global release on September 18 at the Reebok webstore and select retailers.Original Story: It’s only Angel Reese’s second season in the WNBA and she’s been impossible to overlook. Now a two-time All-Star, she’s also just been announced as the NBA 2K26 WNBA Edition cover athlete. This honor is joined by another major headline today: the unveiling of her first signature shoe with Reebok, introducing the Reebok Angel Reese 1.While Reese having a shoe comes as no surprise, considering the two confirmed this last year, it was initially slated for a 2026 launch (and may still be), making a mid-2025 unveiling an unexpected one. Our limited first look at the pair sees it don an iridescent “Diamond Dust” that covers its sculpted structure. Her signature logo is also present atop the tongue.At the time of writing, neither Angel Reese nor Reebok Basketball have confirmed when the Angel Reese 1 will be making its retail debut. The two previously announced that the sneaker would be dropping in 2026, however, it is possible that this has changed since. Stay tuned for updates, including a complete look at this lead “Diamond Dust” colorway, as we expect the sneaker to arrive on shelves via Reebok and select retailers soon.
