Angel Reese has dreams. Big dreams.

When it comes to the Chicago Sky star, everything she does or says becomes a trending topic. Even former First Lady Michelle Obama had to give her opinion on the young superstar recently.

Fans and foes often argue about the WNBA player’s effectiveness on the court. What cannot be denied is that she is a constant topic of discussion.

The Chicago Sky standout announced her debut signature shoe, the Angel Reese 1. Three colorways, Diamond Dust, Receipts Ready, and Mebounds, will be available for purchase on Sept. 18.

In an interview with Elle, Reese discussed the expedited release and what her new shoe offers.

“My personality is me being unapologetically myself-that’s what the shoes are as well: unapologetic. The versatility of being able to wear the shoes on and off the court was the most important thing to me. I really wanted to have a shoe that I can wear on the court, but also in the tunnel, fits, fashion moments, events, and big things.”

Angel Reese told Kayla Webley Adler that she wants her signature shoe line to join Michael Jordan’s as one of the most popular sets of sneakers of all time.

“Reebok is back! 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,” Reese said.

“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.”

That is a very bold proclamation, given that the Jordan Brand is reportedly worth around $7 billion.

Nike is a powerhouse, while Reebok, on the other hand, was sold in 2022 for $2.5 billion.

Reebok sponsors a diverse group of athletes across various sports, including basketball, football, and golf. Shaquille O’Neal is the sole reason why Reese is on Reebok.

Angel Reese Continues To Flourish Despite The Hate

Haters tried their best to take down Angel Reese and her talents for getting rebounds. She just smiled and turned “Mebounds” into a business opportunity.

The Chicago Sky forward, who has also been called out for faking injuries, continues to flourish despite hate from every corner of the globe.

The 23-year-old forward has been sidelined since July 29 with a back injury that’s kept her out of commission for much of the time since the All-Star break in mid-July.

Losing Reese, who leads the team in pointers per game (14.2), rebounds per game (12.6), and assists per game (3.7), has had her team going 1-5 without her during their recent stretch and has won just one of the 10 games Reese has missed this season.

It is clear that she is needed on the court if the Sky wants any chance of winning games.
