Angel Reese had another milestone moment Thursday morning as her first signature shoe with Reebok, the AR1, finally hit the market. The drop didn’t last long online — pairs were gone within hours — but the “Chi-Town Barbie” and Reebok are gearing up for the in-store launch next.
Angel Reese marked the day with a video from her photoshoot and an emotional post on X.
“✨ HAPPY LAUNCH DAY ✨,” she shared.
“Today I get to share a dream turned reality—my very first shoe 👟.”
She followed up with a longer note:
“I can’t even put into words how PROUD I am of this moment, how THANKFUL I am for the journey, and how GRATEFUL I am for every single person who has supported me along the way. 23 years old… and I just dropped my very first signature shoe. WOW. 🥺🙏”

“This is only the beginning”: Angel Reese reflects on Year 2
Even with her Chicago Sky falling short of the playoffs, Angel Reese’s second WNBA season showed how far she’s come. She dominated the boards, finishing as the league’s rebounding leader at 12.6 per game, while also stepping up as a scorer and playmaker.
The 23-year-old reflected on her season Wednesday with a highlight video and a heartfelt caption:
“YEAR 2. You taught me so much. You taught me so many lessons. You showed a TON of growth. You fought through SO much adversity. Yet you still PREVAILED, still showed up, and God has a plan for you. This is only the beginning. [infinity emoji].”

Reese also hit career highs across the board — 14.7 points on 45.8% shooting, 3.7 assists, and 1.5 steals per game — numbers that prove her all-around game is on the rise.
Between her on-court growth and her off-court success with Reebok, it feels like Angel Reese’s story is only getting started.
