Angel Reese has made a bold statement about her Reebok signature shoe that should have Nike execs scratching their heads.

The Chicago Sky forward landed a deal with the sportswear company, which has made a comeback recently and even has a Netflix series.

Reese has close ties to Shaquille O’Neal and was bizarrely shown playing on the same team as the former NBA center. Given that he’s the President of Basketball at Reebok, we imagine it wasn’t hard for them to make a deal.

The former LSU star has declared that people will wear her shoes everywhere, suggesting that they will be as popular as Jordans.

The unisex sneaker, the Angel Reese 1, will launch in exactly a month’s time on September 18, and Reese reckons the old-school look will command a significant share of the market.

“Reebok is back,” she said in an interview with Elle. “We’re bringing back that old-school look, the old-school vibes. People are going to be wearing Reebok everywhere, just like how they wear Jordans everywhere.“

She added:

“I want people to wear the Angel Reese 1s everywhere and just to be a household name, to have no limits on what I can do and what I can accomplish.”

Angel Reese Out With Injury As She Prepares For Shoe Launch

The above is pretty ambitious from Angel, given that Michael Jordan himself could introduce another brand, and they still wouldn’t be nearly as popular as Jordans.

Meanwhile, Reese has been out of action with a back injury, and there are claims that she could be done for the season. There are also claims that she totally faked the injury as a means of quitting on her teammates.

The 23-year-old has played in 21 games for Chicago this season, averaging 14.0 points, 12.6 rebounds, and 3.8 assists per game.

The team hasn’t shown much improvement from last season, however, as they own the second-worst record in the WNBA and are unlikely to make the playoffs.

Brittney Griner Finally Breaks Her Silence Over Alleged Caitlin Clark Comments That The WNBA Refused To Investigate

WNBA star Brittney Griner was at the center of a new debate over what she allegedly said in a game against basketball phenom Caitlin Clark.

The Atlanta Dream center found herself at the center of social media controversy last month when some fans thought she disparaged Indiana Fever star guard Caitlin Clark upon fouling out.

The game’s broadcast focused on an upset Griner saying something as she returned to the Dream bench after fouling out of the game. While there’s no audio of this moment, some who tried to read Griner’s lips thought she called Clark a “trash f–king white girl.”

However, there’s no proof of Griner saying those actual words since others thought she stated something else.

It took weeks for someone to finally get a quote from her, and she provided much of nothing.

Brittney Griner was asked about this moment before her team’s June 15 game against the Washington Mystics and said, “I remember fouling out, being mad. I remember fouling out on, I believe it was [Natasha] Howard driving to the basket. They said I put my hand in.”

WNBA Chooses Not To Investigate Brittney Griner

Moments before the conclusion of the Indiana Fever’s 81-76 victory over the Dream at the State Farm Arena in Atlanta weeks ago, cameras seemingly caught Atlanta Dream star center Brittney Griner labeling Caitlin Clark “trash” before calling her a “f***ing white girl” in frustration over a foul on Natasha Howard.

The clip of Griner speaking on the bench, lacking context, spread on social media and went viral.

Griner, who won a gold medal for Team USA at the Summer Olympics in Paris in 2024, essentially got aw@y with whatever came out of her mouth because the league basically ignored the controversy.

This incident is not the only time Griner vocalized her frustrations this season. Following another game, she stormed off mid-interview, yelling at the referees to “be f—ing better.
