Angel Reese Celebrates Her Unrivaled Return With New SS26 Reebok Collection

Angel Reese celebrated her grand return to Unrivaled Basketball in style.

The LSU alum dazzled audiences on Friday, February 20, when she stepped onto the court in a striking rose gold iteration of her signature shoe, the "Angel Reese 1."

These vibrant new sneakers represent just one installment of the upcoming SS26 collection developed by Angel Reese and Reebok.

Reebok confirmed via a press release sent to The Blast that Reese commemorated her Unrivaled comeback with a pair of "Rose Dust" AR1s.

The footwear serves as a tribute to Reese’s Unrivaled squad, the ROSE BC, the team she helped lead to win the league's first-ever championship.

According to a previous report from The Blast, Reese initially opted to sit out of Unrivaled's second season. However, she signed a contract in February 2026 to return to the league for the last two games and hopefully help her team make a push for the playoffs.

According to Reebok, the "Rose Dust" colorway isn't the only AR1 coming to the footwear giant.

Throughout her upcoming games, Reese is set to unveil additional colorways, including the "Gala Green," "Unapologetically Angel," and the "Navy Halo."

While the green hue symbolizes Reese’s growth in a fresh season, the vibrant "Unapologetically Angel" pair honors the Chicago Sky star’s "multi-faceted achievements." The navy pair is "grounded in power and poise."

Like the first three colorways of the AR1, this next slate of sneakers means more to Reese than some may realize.

"I’ve always believed your style should match your mindset," she said. "Coming back to the court in these new Angel Reese 1 colorways feels powerful–each one built with intention and made to stand out."

The debut of Reese’s signature sneaker follows a multi-year partnership that began when the athlete signed an NIL deal with the brand during her collegiate career.

During the 2025 WNBA season, Reese and Reebok announced the first three pairs, with Reese saying the shoes were more than just products you throw on your feet.

"... it's my style, my story, and my stamp on the game," she said.

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

According to a previous report from The Blast, the first drop of AR1s sold out on Reebok's website within hours, a milestone that left Reese in disbelief.

"Today I get to share a dream turned reality—my very first shoe," she said on social media. "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."

Another report from The Blast details Gabrielle Union's admiration of Reese.

While promoting her new feature film, "GOAT"—in which Reese has a minor role—the "Bring It On" star reflected on the athlete’s apparent impact on sports.

"Going to Chicago Sky games, everyone is like 'Angel Reese, Angel Reese' and then after the game, you know she stays for a very long time and the line of kids waiting to see her who are just like overwhelmed at the sight of her, it's boys and girls," Union revealed during a press interview.

"There are boys that are holding her shoe. Like, I got the Angel Reese shoe. I want you to sign this jersey, and they are looking at her in awe," she added.

When she's off the court, Reese is making power moves, modeling for Victoria's Secret, jet-setting around the globe, and even adding to her acting resume.

The Blast reported that Reese recently landed a role in the second season of the Netflix thriller "The Hunting Wives."

In the series, Reese will play "Trainer Barbie," and she teased her role on social media.

During her podcast, "Unapologetically Angel," Reese admitted to speaking with rapper Common about wanting to develop in front of the camera.

"I want to get an acting coach," Reese said. "I was talking to Common — he's overseas right now shooting season 2 of 'Silo' — and he was telling me, 'You got to hire an acting coach.'"

It looks like she might've taken his advice!
