Despite lower salaries, some WNBA stars have paved the way for the change in the dynamics of the women’s basketball league. From rookies Angel Reese and Caitlin Clark to veterans like A’ja Wilson, everyone is landing lucrative offers. Wilson, who’s leading the league in scoring and endorsement deals, will have a special release with Nike next summer as per reports. However, the rookies aren’t far behind, as Reese will go toe-to-toe with the 2x WNBA champion.
According to Insider Nick DePaula, Reese’s debut collection, Reebok by Angel, will feature three footwear options and up to seven apparel pieces with the sports brand. “The ‘Reebok by Angel’ collection will be launched on August 23rd,” he wrote on X.
Reese signed an endorsement deal with Reebok last October. After proving doubters wrong with her stunning double-double record, it’s the right time for her debut collection. Her first collaborative capsule of shoes includes the Classic Leather, Premier Road VI, and BB 4000 II. Additionally, it boasts a series of apparel shining in colorways, such as “Silver Chrome” and “Always Blue.”

She has even added a personalized touch with the Angel Graphic Tee that reads, “When They Sleep On You…Tuck Them In!” Impressive, right? It will be dropped alongside the Angel Vector Track Jacket and Lux Bodysuit in the same colorway. With all this, Reese will not only be able to compete with Wilson but also her fellow rookie, Caitlin Clark.
