Reebok revealed on Instagram that the Angel Reese 1 will hit the shelves on September 18. It posted a picture of the Sky forward in an all-white ensemble to pair with the “Diamond Dust” colorway.
“Made for the spotlight,” read the caption.
The WNBA expressed support for Reese, who joined New York Liberty’s Breanna Stewart and Sabrina Ionescu, Indiana Fever’s Caitlin Clark, and Las Vegas Aces’ A’ja Wilson as the only active players with a signature shoe.
“Calendar’s marked 🫡🔥,” commented the WNBA.
Aside from “Diamond Dust,” the Angel Reese 1 has two other colorways: “Mebounds” (pink) and “Receipts Ready” (black and white). It is priced at $120.

“I wanted to design a basketball shoe that elevates performance, innovation, style, and creative expression, all at once. Reebok and I built something that’s true to who I am, and I hope it pushes others to stand in their power too,” said Reese, who’s currently nursing a back injury, in a statement.
