Mark Your Calendars: Angel Reese, Reebok Reveal Official Release Date For 'Navy Halo' Sneaker

Angel Reese and Reebok are gearing up to drop the next colorway of the WNBA star's highly coveted signature sneaker, the "Angel Reese 1." The "Navy Halo" edition hits shelves next Friday, March 13, 2026, marking the second official release from the SS26 collection.

The first three colorways of Angel Reese's signature sneaker hit retailers in September 2025. Since then, the Chicago Sky star has released a variety of colorways inspired by her Maryland roots, her impressive rebounding ability, and even her dog, Tiago.

Reese, in partnership with Reebok, will release the next colorway of her highly coveted signature sneaker, the "Angel Reese 1," in "Navy Halo" next Friday, March 13, 2026. According to an official press release sent to The Blast, the "Navy Halo" edition of the sneaker will become available for purchase on Reebok and at Dick's Sporting Goods retailers at 10 a.m. EST.

Like her other designs, the "Navy Halo" edition of the "AR1" is more than just a basketball shoe. "The Angel Reese 1 ‘Navy Halo’ is built to inspire strength and confidence," Reese said in a statement. "The deep blue is strong and effortless—it’s that quiet confidence you carry when you know exactly who you are and what you bring to the game."

The "Navy Halo" colorway is just one of four that Reese and Reebok are releasing as part of the athlete's SS26 collection.

According to The Blast, Reese debuted the first colorway, "Rose Dust," in late February 2026 during her return to Unrivaled Basketball.

Reese will also release the "Gala Green" and "Unapologetically Angel" colorways in the coming weeks.

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

Reese and Reebok have been building something special since joining forces in October 2023.

Just days before her WNBA debut, Reese explained why she chose to partner with Reebok, a brand in its rebuilding phase, compared to another major name like Nike.

"So many different shoe companies wanted to work with me. But I chose Reebok," she said. "What was it about Reebok? One, they don’t have a women’s basketball player [as] a face. So I wanted to be that."

Reese explained that her relationship with LSU alum and former Los Angeles Lakers player Shaquille O'Neal also played a role in her decision to sign with the company.

"And three, I like how they’re rebranding everything and they’re letting me be the creator behind everything I want to do. So I’m having my own shoe line coming out, merch with my name on it. … Y’all like what I wear, y’all like how I dress, y’all like my style. I wanted to incorporate that into Reebok," she added.

During a 2025 interview on "The Pivot" podcast, Shaq, President of Basketball at Reebok, also shed light on how he convinced the Bayou Barbie to sign with the Boston-based sneaker company.

Shaq stated that he was initially eyeing other names, such as Shai Gilgeous Alexander, to join his growing roster of talent, but after learning the OKC star's team wanted $60 million, he had to make an important decision.

That's when Shaq and the rest of the Reebok team went all in on Reese.

"And then I said, let me make a power call real quick. 'Angel, you want to go with Nike where they're just gonna give you a regular shoe. Or do you want to deal with a motherfu-ker that will give you your own shoe?" Shaq said.

"'You know you're the sh-t. You need your own shoe.' 'For real, you can do that?' 'Yeah, I can do that.' So signing Angel was my (doing)," Shaq added.

Reese is also making headlines over her recent comments about her brother, Julian Reese, following his NBA debut with the Washington Wizards on March 2, 2026.

After stating that the University of Maryland alum would bring "passion" to the court and team, Reese admitted she was beside herself after learning the 6'9" player signed a 2-way contract with the team.

"I'm really happy for him," she said. "I was so emotional when I found out, I was crying so hard like I just hit the lottery."
