Angel Reese and Reebok started their partnership in 2023, when she was playing for LSU in the Division 1 NCAA Tournament. The sportswear giants had signed the then-Tigers star through an NIL deal, and in October 2024, agreed on a multiyear endorsement contract extension.

Since then, the Sky power forward has become the face of Reebok's women's basketball division and is among the only six active WNBA players with a signature shoe deal. On Thursday, the double-double machine expressed her thoughts on her first signature sneakers in a press release.

"The Engine A – Pretty Gritty is my player-exclusive colorway for Reebok’s new Engine A Basketball Shoes," Reese said. "I'm excited to give fans a glimpse into what's to come in our overall partnership, and we're still just getting started."

Reese is averaging 10.0 points, 14.0 rebounds and 2.3 assists per game and her next matchup is against the Dallas Wings on Thursday.
