Angel Reese Takes Fashion World by Storm with New Sneaker Release

CHICAGO, IL — Angel Reese is making waves both on the basketball court and in the fashion industry as she reveals new ventures. The 23-year-old WNBA star recently unveiled her first signature sneaker, the Reebok Engine A Pretty Gritty, which retails for $120.

The sneaker features bold Black Cherry and Pink Blast colors, along with Reese’s personal logo. Designed for both style and performance, it has a molded synthetic upper for breathability and durability. Reese expressed her excitement for the collaboration, stating, “I’m excited to give fans a glimpse into what’s to come in our overall partnership. And we’re still just getting started.”

Shortly after the sneaker launch, Reese took to X.com, previously known as Twitter, to address a common issue in the fashion industry. She called out luxury brands like Prada, urging them to expand women’s shoe sizes beyond nine. “Let’s normalize for the heel brands to stop ending at a size 9 and give us them 11s, 12s, and 13s pleaseeeee,” she tweeted, highlighting the struggles tall women face in finding fashionable footwear.

Currently, most women’s shoe collections stop at size nine or ten, leaving many women, including the 6-foot-3 Reese, at a disadvantage. While some retailers offer extended sizes, the options remain limited. Reese has ambitions to launch a tall girl line, saying, “It’s hard for me right now, obviously, finding looks, so just being able to find things and start my own thing for all the tall girls out there.”

Fans have shown strong support for her message, although Reese has not confirmed any specific plans yet. As she pursues her passion for fashion, it’s important to remember that Reese is also focused on her basketball career with the Chicago Sky.

Reese is currently in her second professional season with the Sky and is working hard to improve upon her rookie performance. Her next game is against the Indiana Fever on Saturday, June 7. Fans are eager to see if she can lead her team to victory.
