Chicago Sky Star Angel Reese Shines In New Reebok Commercial

The WNBA season may be over, but that doesn't mean Angel Reese is out of the spotlight.
The Chicago Sky star took the league by storm in her first season, setting new records in double-doubles and rebounds. She made the WNBA's All-Star team in her debut season, and nearly led the Sky to the playoffs before suffering a season-ending wrist injury.
Reese is expected to be one the league's best players once again in 2025, and Reebok is going all in on her potential, establishing her as one of the faces of their brand in a new commercial.

"Reebok has stood on business about me since day one," Reese said during the WNBA season, when she debuted the brand's first new performance basketball shoe in nine years.
"Shaq told me I was going to be the face of Reebok, and I continue to be that. Being able to debut the new basketball shoe today, of course, I'm excited for it. In my future, I will definitely have a signature shoe — for sure."
When Reese's signature shoe is unveiled, she will join a growing list of WNBA players with their own signature models. Sabrina Ionescu and Breanna Stewart are among the players who currently have their own shoes, and Caitlin Clark and A'ja Wilson will soon join them.
Fans won't have to wait until the 2025 WNBA season to see Reese back on the court, as she'll participate in the inaugural season of Unrivaled Basketball, a new 3-on-3 league established by Stewart and Napheesa Collier.
Reese said that playing in Unrivaled will allow her to continue to play basketball without having to go to a different country.
"Nobody wants to go overseas. A lot of us never wanna have to go overseas, but some people do have to go overseas unfortunately, so being able to make six figures within three months, being able to be housed in Miami, just being able to get better," she said.
"Being able to know two great players that are starting something, I think it's amazing."
Fans can tune into Unrivaled in January, where they may get their first look at Reese's signature shoe with Reebok.
