- By: Julianne Elise Beffa
Style. Power. Movement.…
When the bass drops and neon lights hit just right, your sneakers do more than move, they make a statement. Angel Reese, two-time WNBA All-Star and style icon, isn’t just rewriting the rules on the hardwood; with her first signature Reebok shoe, the Angel Reese 1, she’s bringing that same energy straight to the streets. Dropping September 18, the Angel Reese 1 effortlessly transitions from fast breaks to fast moves, proving that performance and style can coexist- and dominate.
This isn’t just a shoe, it’s my style, my story, and my stamp on the game.
The Benchmark for Style + Performance
The Angel Reese 1 sets a new standard for signature sneakers. Designed in full collaboration with Reese, it merges Reebok’s storied hoops heritage with Reese’s bold, unapologetic aesthetic. The Molded TPU Exoskeleton Upper, inspired by angel wings, provides stability, durability, and breathability, while Reebok’s Energy Return System (ERS™) ensures elite-level performance. The high-abrasion rubber outsole delivers grip and traction, making the transition from fast cuts on the hardwood to fast moves on the dance floor effortless.
Three distinct colorways- ‘Diamond Dust’, ‘Mebounds’, and ‘Receipts Ready,’ capture Reese’s multifaceted personality, while her signature “AR” logo signals a confident presence both on and off the court.
More Than Sneakers: A Cultural Statement
At LOOP, we know sneakers aren’t just about performance- they’re a lifestyle. The Angel Reese 1 comes alongside a signature apparel collection featuring graphic tees, cropped tanks, sweatshirts, and sweatpants, embodying Reese’s signature energy. “Mebounds” even reclaims a viral term, transforming it into a symbol of empowerment—a reflection of Reese’s influence in sports, fashion, and culture.
Reebok Basketball’s Bold Return
With the Angel Reese 1, Reebok reasserts itself in the performance basketball space, blending innovation with style and culture. This launch underscores Reebok’s commitment to supporting athletes who aren’t just game-changers on the court, but culture-shapers everywhere their presence is felt.
Whether it’s rebounding under the basket or owning the VIP at your favorite club, the Angel Reese 1 proves sneakers can define your night as much as your game. And for everything at the cutting edge of nightlife, fashion, and street culture, LOOP remains the definitive source- where style meets influence, and every move is a statement.
