Reebok and Chicago Sky Angel Reese Announce Multi-Year Extension Including Signature Shoe
She made it to the league and now she continues to make the big bucks. The WNBA star already had a deal in place but Reebok decided it wanted to lock her in for several years to come. Therefore, on Thursday it was confirmed that Reebok and Chicago Sky star Angel Reese have announced a multi-year extension including a signature shoe.
This is major. Professional women’s basketball players do not tend to get shoe deals. In fact, it’s a rarity. Angel Reese will become just the 6th active WNBA player to have her own signature shoe. Yes, after over two decades she will just be one of six players on the court rocking their own designs. Wild.
Nevertheless, if you are wondering who are the other six stars in the W, wonder no more. You probably can guess at least one. But nonetheless, Reese will be joining New York’s Breanna Stewart (Puma) and Sabrina Ionescu (Nike), Las Vegas’ A’ja Wilson (Nike) and Sydney Colson (Creative Control) and Indiana’s Caitlin Clark (Nike). Also, it is of note that Los Angeles’ Rickea Jackson also has a deal with Sketchers. While Rickea does not have her own shoe yet; she still made history being the first WNBA player in the brand’s history.
However, things are changing. This is a new era that women’s basketball is moving into that is leading to more lucrative opportunities. With increased interest in the sport, brands are flocking to get their name and products attached to the W’s most popular names.
