After Angel Reese's Reebok AR1 was released on Sept. 18, the shoe went out of stock in minutes. However, just days after, a fan posted a review of the shoe on the internet and alleged that the AR 1s were of bad quality, drawing reactions from the WNBA fans.

The fan had bought AR 1 "Mebounds" and posted a video of himself playing in those shoes. The fan said that he wanted to like Reese's shoes, but started seeing wear and tear. He showed the torn part on the upper and showed a layer coming off from the shoe.

One of the fans brought up Reese's comments earlier this month about the condition of the Chicago Sky and forcing them to bring "great" players.

"Angel Reece gets no so favorable reviews with quitting on her teams and throwing team mates under the bus, so why wouldn't her shoe get the same? Reece is a cancer, and the sooner Reebok realizes that the better."

Angel Reese sends heartfelt message to fans after sellout AR 1

When Reebok released Angel Reese's AR 1 earlier this week, the shelf was emptied, both online and offline, within minutes. Of the three colorways released by Reebok, "Mebounds" and "Receipts Ready" were first to go out of stock, followed by "Diamond Dust" just a few minutes after.

The overwhelming support from the fans got Reese emotional.

The WNBA star made sure to show love and gratitude to her fans for their support. The love y'all have shown for not one, not two, but three shoes ... I'm just so full of gratitude because y'all did not have to show that much love to me ... it's crazy. So, I'm just grateful and thankful for you guys," she said in a video.

There is no confirmation about the restocking of these shoes. The sneaker company is expected to release other colorways in the coming days.
