Reebok just dropped a first look at Angel Reese's first signature basketball shoe. Here is what we know so far.

Earlier this week, the brand revealed the Reebok Angel Reese 1 in the "Diamond Dust," which comes in an iridescent blue color reminiscent of Y2K styling and color schematics. A press release from Reebok reads, "A true design collaboration between Reese and Reebok, the Angel Reese 1 is a signature experience around who she is and how she moves, blending performance, cultural edge, and personal narrative. Reese debuts the Angel Reese 1 in the ‘Diamond Dust’ colorway, featuring vivid iridescent color hues that champion both the grit and glam Reese brings to the game."

The statement continues: "Built to shine both on the court and evolve for the streets, like Reese, who embodies both the strength and style of the modern athlete." Reese's signature shoe is a natural extension of the original NIL deal she signed with the brand before her senior season at Louisiana State University. That deal eventually evolved into a multi-year contract extension, which she signed in October 2024.

After the announcement, Reese posted on X, "Just a kid from Baltimore, turning dreams into reality and hoping I can inspire young women and men everywhere to do the same." She continued, "The most brilliant diamonds take pressure, polish, and time. Reebok is back — and the diamonds are shining brighter than ever."

More details about the impending release are expected in the coming weeks and months.
