Less than 24 hours later, Reese showed off her signature sneaker with Reebok. She also revealed that she’s this year’s cover athlete for the WNBA Edition of NBA 2K26. That’s quite the achievement for the second-year star from LSU.
“Being on the cover of NBA 2K26 and debuting my first-ever signature shoe with Reebok on thatcover, the Angel Reese 1, is more than a milestone — it’s a statement,” Reese said. “It’s about representation and showing young girls they can be confident, bold, and take up space unapologetically.”
The WNBA edition of NBA 2K has featured a legendary athlete on the cover over the years, such as Candace Parker, Sue Bird and Diana Taurasi. Last year’s game had A’ja Wilson on the cover.

“To be cemented in NBA 2K history is a special honor that reflects not only my journey, but also all the veteran WNBA players who have paved the way before me and the growing impact of the league as a whole,” Reese added.
As you’d imagine, WNBA fans had a lot to say about Reese’s accomplishment.
“Online haters work hard but Angel Reese and her team work HARDER,” one fan said. “2K26 cover in her signature shoe that she just unveiled today might I add I love good marketing.”
“Angel Reese making the 2K cover before Caitlin Clark is a lowkey flex on her part,” a second fan wrote.
“She’s the face of the league,” another fan declared.
