At 22, Angel Reese isn’t tiptoeing into the sneaker business. She’s kicking the door open. The Angel Reese 1 already proved that. When her debut Reebok signature dropped, fans hammered refresh like it was Game 7. Pairs vanished. Resale talk started before deliveries hit front doors. That’s not hype manufactured in a boardroom. That’s demand. Now the SS26 colorways are lining up, and if you blink, you’ll miss them.
Reese returns to the Unrivaled court tonight with Rose BC, breaking out the ‘Rose Dust’ for the first time. The mauve-toned pair landed just before Valentine’s Day and retails for $130 in adult sizing at Reebok.com, Dick’s Sporting Goods, and Foot Locker. The color looks calm. The build isn’t. This is a contact-ready performance shoe made for players who crash the paint instead of floating around the perimeter.
‘Gala Green’ flips the switch. Bright. Direct. No confirmed release date yet, which only turns up the anticipation. Then there’s ‘Unapologetically Angel,’ a multi-color statement piece that reads like a résumé in sneaker form: WNBA All-Star at 22, Unrivaled champion, cultural headline generator. Subtle was never the assignment. ‘Navy Halo’ closes out the first four, wrapping the silhouette in deep blue that feels measured and focused.
“I’ve always believed your style should match your mindset,” Reese said in a press release. “Coming back to the court in these new Angel Reese 1 colorways feels powerful–each one built with intention and made to stand out.”
Under the surface, Reebok didn’t cut corners. The shoe runs on the brand’s Energy Return System for bounce and responsiveness, reinforced by a molded TPU upper for structure. A TPU heel stability cup locks you in when bodies collide. It’s built for boards, not photo ops.
Reese signed her first NIL deal with Reebok at LSU, then secured a major extension during her rookie season that included this signature line. That move put a 22-year-old at the center of a heritage brand’s performance revival. Every rebound, every sellout, every new colorway keeps that momentum moving.
