Former LSU star and 2023 national champion Angel Reese has always been unapologetic, both on and off the court.
Now, the Chicago Sky rookie is using her boldness as the source of inspiration for her new collection with Reebok.
“I wanted to create a collection that allowed women and girls everywhere to embrace their femininity and power in whatever they’re doing,” Reese said.
Reese has never shied away from combining her femininity with her style of basketball. With her lashes and nails done on the court, along with her love for the color pink, she was nicknamed the ‘Bayou Barbie’ at LSU.

Reese said she wants the collection to make wearers feel “stylish and fierce on all occasions.”
The Baltimore-native’s collection will feature three shoe styles and seven pieces of clothing. The featured colors are silver and a light shade of blue.
The shoes will all feature a crown above the “O” in the Rebook logo, and the insoles will feature phrases such as “when they sleep on you, tuck them in” and “unapologetically Angel.”
Unapologetic has been a common word Reese has used to describe herself since the national championship game. In the post game press conference after the Tigers beat Caitlin Clark’s Iowa Hawkeyes 102-85, Reese dedicated the win “for the girls that look up to me.”
“For those that want to speak up for what they believe in. It’s unapologetically you. And that’s what I [did] before tonight. It was bigger than me tonight,” she said.
