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.
