Angel Reese shared a spectacular fan tribute with the latest colorway of her signature Reebok shoes.<\/p>\n
In June 2024, Reese surprised her fan base with a tweet that confirmed long-standing speculation about what the group was called. “Reese\u2019s pieces where yall at?????”, the WNBA star said, sending her supporters into a delightful frenzy. Now, more than two years later, Reese is paying tribute to her fans with a special surprise.<\/p>\n
On Friday, Reese and Reebok revealed a special colorway of her Angel Reese 1 designed with fans in mind. The shoes, appropriately called ‘REESE\u2019S,’ come in a brown, yellow and orange palette with miniature pops of color on the outside of the shoe that lean into the fan base name. The three-time All-Star dropped the shoes alongside the launch of a new candy variety.<\/p>\n
\u201cSeeing the Reebok Angel Reese 1 come to life is such a full-circle moment for me. I love how the iconic Reese’s orange, yellow and brown come to life on my signature shoe in a way that feels bold, playful and true to my style, both on and off the court,” Reese said. “Launching it alongside REESE\u2019S PIECES with Chocolate Cookie makes it even more special, especially because my fans have always called themselves the REESE\u2019S PIECES. I can\u2019t wait for everyone to get their hands on it!\u201d<\/p>\n
The \u2018REESE\u2019S\u2019 colorway of the Angel Reese 1 goes on sale Oct. 20th.<\/p>\n
Reese, who is fresh off winning gold with Team USA at the FIBA World Cup, is having a huge year. She also released a Barbie doll that debuted in July amid a career season with the Atlanta Dream.<\/p>\n
The forward, selected out of LSU with the No. 7 overall pick in the 2024 draft by the Chicago Sky, is averaging a double-double for the third consecutive season. Reese is putting up a career-high 16.5 points, 12.4 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 1.8 steals through 41 games.<\/p>\n
She leads the league in total rebounds, offensive rebounds (5.1 per game) and double-doubles (30). Reese is also third in steals per game and well within reach of becoming the WNBA’s first player to grab 500 rebounds in a single season.<\/p>\n
