Angel Reese Reflects On Love From Fans After Debut Signature Sneaker Sells Out Online: 'So Thankful'

Angel Reese is feeling the love from her fans, also known as "Reeses Pieces," after the launch of her debut signature sneaker was an absolute success.

Reese released three initial colorways of her signature shoe, the Angel Reese 1, with Reebok on September 18, 2025.

Hours after the shoe became available to buy, Angel Reese updated her followers online and shared the news that her shoe was officially sold out on Reebok.com, prompting several users to post congratulatory posts about the athlete's latest accomplishment.

In a video shared online, Reese opened up about how "grateful" and "thankful" she was that her fans showed her so much love on Thursday.

"The love y'all have shown for not one, not two, but three shoes ... online and in store," she said.

As she went on, Reese spoke about her shoe selling out on Reebok.com within minutes.

"Y'all did not come to play," she said. "Everything was sold out within minutes. Sizes were sold out within minutes."

She continued, "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."

The Blast reported on Reese's all-pink colorway, titled "Mebounds," flying off shelves and completely selling out within minutes of its launch.

Hours later, the other two colorways, "Diamond Dust" and "Receipts Ready," were sold out, too.

On her Instagram, Reese reflected on what it meant to her to have her own shoe, describing it as a "dream turned reality."

"I can’t even put into words how PROUD I am of this moment, how THANKFUL I am for the journey, and how GRATEFUL I am for every single person who has supported me along the way. 23 years old… and I just dropped my very first signature shoe. WOW," she said.

After that, she celebrated her sneaker being sold out with another post to her Stories, writing, "Alexa, play 'Sold Out Dates,'" which is a popular track by the performer Gunna.

Only a handful of current WNBA players have released a signature shoe, and Reese recognizes that, calling the first edition of her sneaker "my stamp on the game."

"Reebok and I built something that's true to who I am, and I hope it pushed others to stand in their power, too," Reese said. "At the end of the day, it's built for basketball — made to move and perform at the highest level."

Reese's shoe comes packed with performance technology, including a TPU cup for added stability and the company's signature Energy Return System (ERS) for extra comfort and flexibility.

Reebok's CEO and President, Todd Krinsky, acknowledged Reese's signature shoe as the future of the footwear giant, calling it "the next chapter for Reebok Basketball, where performance meets style."

And that's especially true for Reese, who wants her sneaker to be a fashion statement both on and off the court.

"People are going to be wearing Reebok everywhere, just like how they wear Jordans everywhere. I want people to wear the Angel Reese 1s everywhere and just to be a household name, to have no limits on what I can do and what I can accomplish," she said.

Online, fans were sharing their excitement about Reese's achievement, with one saying, "Angel Reese got folks buying Reeboks again."

Another user wrote, "Reebok made Angel Reese their SIGNATURE athlete when she was still in college. Her signature shoe is their first release in 15 years and it sold out in hours. ANGEL GOT PEOPLE TO SELL OUT A REEBOK SHOE. That is motion. That is influence. That is insane."

A day before the launch of her shoe, Reese starred in a moving new ad for Reebok, called "Fuel."

At the beginning of the clip, the Chicago Sky star stands front and center in the middle of a busy subway, reciting an explosive monologue as a train rushes by.

"Noise, headlines, hotshots," she says into the camera. "They talk like they know me, like they built me. But I board anyway."

She added, "They call it the hate train, I call it the warm-up.  Every stop, more opinions, more pressure, more reasons why I'm not supposed to be here. But I show up. Not for them, for the work."

"I don't ride the hate train. I drive it, and I own the tracks," she continued. "This is the Angel Reese 1 by Reebok."
