Challenging Angel Reese has never been a good idea for anyone. Mock her game, and she will come back strong. Call her names, and she will use them to her benefit, just like she did with the \u2018Mebounds\u2019 tag. The \u2018Mebounds\u2019 tag was expertly trademarked by Reese while releasing a merchandise line on it that fetched her \u201csix figures.\u201d After that success, Reese named one of the colorways of the Angel Reese 1s as Mebounds. Now the neon pink Mebounds colorway has made its way to the NBA, and Reese isn\u2019t holding back.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Houston Rockets star Tari Eason rocked the Mebounds against the Brooklyn Nets. Angel Reese immediately noticed as she reposted the Houston Rockets post dedicated to Eason. \u201cIt\u2019s the shoessssss, Meboundsssss,\u201d Reese excitedly wrote. Along with three pink heart emojis. The shoes flipped the script for Eason, as after scoring 7 points on 3-of-11 shooting in 50 minutes over Houston\u2019s first two games, Eason bounced back strongly against Brooklyn while wearing pink.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The 24-year-old forward led the Rockets in scoring while knocking down a game-high five three-pointers. Eason amassed 22 points (3 points more than Rockets\u2019 star Kevin Durant) (8-12 FG, 5-7 3Pt, 1-3 FT), 5 rebounds, 5 assists, and one block over 26 minutes during their 137-109 win over the Nets. This was also the Rockets\u2019 first win of the season! Eason\u2019s mom immediately noticed the effect the Angel Reese1s had on her son.\u00a0<\/p>\n

On Houston\u2019s IG page, most of the comments spoke more about the shoes than the stat line, which silently reflects Reese\u2019s impact in a Caitlin Clark-dominated media.<\/p>\n
Interestingly enough, while many reports claim Eason is a Reebok athlete, Eason has primarily worn Nike throughout his career. Before Angel Reese1s Eason rocked the Nike Sabrina 2 in earlier games, according to Kixstats. It seems Eason will be wearing the Angel Reese 1s here on, considering how his performance turned out. Meanwhile, Angel Reese herself is on a major offseason spree. After walking on Victoria\u2019s Secret runway, Reese is not resting.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Reese featured on the cover of NBA 2K26\u2019s special SLAM Edition<\/a> and has also teased a special collaboration with fellow Dallas Wings star Paige Bueckers. \u201cMe and Paige actually have something really big coming up together. Stay tuned.\u201d Reese said in the viral clip. Most recently, Paige Bueckers was seen in the UK at a soccer game supporting EPL\u2019s Arsenal, but she and Reese are pretty good friends. Meanwhile, Reese\u2019s shoes continue to be represented in the basketball world, but this time via her brother Julian Reese.<\/p>\n
