Angel Reese just dropped a bombshell and WNBA fans are freaking out

Angel Reese is living a dream moment. This Tuesday, the Chicago Sky star revealed for the first time her new exclusive sneakers with Reebok: the Angel Reese 1. And as expected, the internet exploded with the announcement.

Photos of the model, which will go on sale in 2026, show white sneakers with a clean, elegant design made for high performance. But beyond the look, what really moved fans was the message that came with the announcement: a powerful statement about dreams, hard work, and representation.

Reese wants to leave her mark with her sneakers

“A kid from Baltimore, making her dreams come true,” wrote Reese, referencing her roots, but also how she has turned her personal story into a source of inspiration for thousands of young people.

“The brightest diamonds need pressure, polishing, and time,” she added. And that’s no coincidence. The collaboration with Reebok is more than a contract-it’s part of a narrative where the brand-now led by Shaquille O’Neal in its basketball division-is looking to amplify authentic and disruptive voices like Angel’s.

A very exclusive club in the WNBA… and Reese is now part of it

With this announcement, Angel Reese joins a very short list of active WNBA players who have their own signature sneaker. Only Breanna Stewart, Sabrina Ionescu, Caitlin Clark, and A’ja Wilson have achieved that before.

And when we talk about pioneers, it’s impossible not to mention Sheryl Swoopes, who launched her own pair in 1995. Today, almost 30 years later, Reese picks up that legacy and takes it a step further, showing that the WNBA is living a historic moment.

Angel Reese will be on the cover of NBA 2K26

As if that wasn’t enough, on the same day as the sneaker reveal, Reese was introduced as the new face of the WNBA edition of NBA 2K26. Yes, the same edition that has featured legends like Candace Parker, Diana Taurasi, and Sue Bird.

“Being on the cover and launching my own sneakers at the same time isn’t just a personal achievement. It’s a clear message for all the girls coming after me: you can be bold, authentic, and take up any space,” Angel said with excitement.

Angel Reese is a symbol of a new era

What Angel Reese is doing goes far beyond points, rebounds, or three-pointers. She’s becoming a symbol of empowerment, representation, and change in women’s sports.

“Being part of NBA 2K history is special, but even more so because of what it means for all the women who paved the way before me,” she said. And she’s right-her story is just beginning, but it’s already shaping the path for an entire generation.

Getty Images Charley Hull withdrew from the Evian Championship due to illness after collapsing on hole No. 4 during the opening round. Hull, who reportedly has been dealing with a virus, received medical attention after she went down on the grass prior to her tee shot.

Ex-USWNT midfielder Tobin Heath retires: Broken-foot goals, slugs and building new worlds

Former U.S. women’s national team midfielder Tobin Heath has retired from professional soccer, the player announced Thursday. The news comes three years after her final professional appearance and a serious left knee injury that required multiple surgeries.She leaves the game — on the field, at least — as a two-time World Cup winner and two-time Olympics gold medalist with the U.S. women, a two-time NWSL champion with Portland Thorns FC and a three-time NCAA champion with the University of North Carolina.AdvertisementBut for Heath, the news of her official retirement is almost secondary as she grapples with the long-term impact of her knee injury. She’s lost the ability to play the game at even a casual level and with it a part of who she was.“I had a personal journey back in January that I came to my own acceptance of […]

AL East odds: Blue Jays have surged into first place, now can they stay ahead of the Yankees down the stretch?

For quite a while, the American League East looked like it would be a laugher this season. The Yankees had a five-game lead by the middle of May and it grew to as high as seven. It was 6 ½ as late as June 3. The Blue Jays actually trailed by eight games and were down by four on June 22. Then, between June 30 July 5, they turned a three-game deficit into a three-game lead. Entering Thursday, the Jays have a 2 ½-game lead over the Yankees with the Rays four games back and the Red Sox still within striking range at 5 ½ back. The Orioles, who were a sneaky pick to win the division back in spring training, sit 12 ½ games out as one of the most disappointing teams in baseball. How do we think this division shakes […]
