As ESPN reports, Chicago Sky star Angel Reese has agreed to a multiyear endorsement contract extension with Reebok, including a signature shoe release in 2026.
Reebok’s 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’re excited to continue the relationship with a ground-up build of her signature silhouette.”
The Reebok partnership extension now counts Reese among the 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 earned $73,439 in her rookie season, recently received a wave of criticism for expressing that the WBNA salary is not enough to sustain her lifestyle. She disclosed that her rent is $96,000 per year.
“The WNBA don’t pay my bills at all,” Reese said in an Instagram live video. “I don’t even think that pays one of my bills… I wouldn’t even be able to eat a sandwich with [the WNBA salary]. I wouldn’t even be able to live.”
After the deal was announced, the 22-year-old used the moment to address her critics, firing back at those who had mocked her following an Instagram Live session.
“God is so good!!! (looks like I can “afford” my bills now),” Reese tweeted.
The new deal adds to Reese’s list of growing endorsements which have been her main source of income. We previously reported that the power forward sealed a sweet deal with Reeces Pieces. She has other endorsements with Good American, Tampax, beauty brand Mielle, and Beats by Dr. Dre. She also sells branded merchandise on her website and started a podcast in September called “Unapologetically Angel.”
In her rookie season with the Sky, Reese averaged a WNBA-record 13.1 rebounds while scoring 13.6 points per game and compiling a rookie-record 26 double-doubles, including 15 in a row — the longest streak in WNBA history.
