Her rookie WNBA season may be over, but Chicago Sky star Angel Reese continues to make big strides off the court, extending her partnership with Reebok.
According to ESPN, on Thursday, Oct. 24, Reese and Reebok agreed to a multi-year extension to their endorsement deal — which includes her own signature shoe, set to go on sale in 2026.
Reebok head of basketball Jide Osifeso spoke about the new deal, telling the outlet, “Reebok and Angel are growing together every day and our visions for the future are aligned. We are excited to continue our collaboration with the core construction of her signature silhouette.”
The expansion of the partnership with Reebok now counts Reese among six active WNBA players with a signature shoe deal — including fellow rookie Caitlin Clark, recent WNBA championship winner Breanna Stewart, league MVP A’ja Wilson, Sabrina Ionescu and Sydney Colson, according to ESPN.

Reese, who has been very vocal about the low salaries of WNBA players, already has an impressive list of brand endorsements, which includes partnerships with Beats by Dr. Dre, Hershey’s Reese’s Pieces (matching her fan-favorite moniker) and Khloe Kardashian co-founded Good American.
Earlier this month, the 22-year-old basketball star revealed how much she pays in monthly rent for her apartment — and how her annual salary from playing in the WNBA doesn’t cover living expenses — during a recent Instagram Live, which retweeted the fan account on X (formerly Twitter) .
“I just hope you all know, the WNBA doesn’t pay my bills at all,” Reese told her followers. “I don’t even think it’s literally one of my bills paying me.”

The Chicago Sky forward admitted at the time that she wasn’t sure about her WNBA salary — according to Sportrac, it was $73,439 this season — before calculating whether it would cover just her rent. After calculating her $8,000 monthly rent, Reese joked, “I’m living beyond my means!”
Even before the league drafted her, Reese was one of the highest-paid NIL athletes alongside current NBA player Bronny James and LSU gymnast Olivia Dunne. She also hosts her own podcast, Angels without forgiveness, and creates branded content on its popular Instagram and TikTok accounts.
