Angel Reese’s red Reebok sneaker starts her Atlanta dream run. Will this be her biggest reveal yet?
Angel Reese’s sneaker story is gaining momentum once more with the Reebok Angel Reese 1 “Red,” an eye-catching new colorway scheduled for release on June 12, 2026. The adult version features a predominantly red design that aligns perfectly with Reese’s new Atlanta Dream jersey, with the primary contrast provided by crisp white accents on the Reebok and Angel Reese logos. A kids’ “Chalk/Red” pair will also be released, providing younger fans with a more balanced version featuring contrasting accents on the underlays and outsole.
Reese’s partnership with Reebok commenced in 2023 during her time at LSU, shortly after Shaquille O’Neal took on the role of president of Reebok Basketball. AP reported that Reese became one of Shaq’s first major athlete signings in that role, elevating the deal beyond a typical endorsement.
That wager swiftly evolved into a launch of a signature shoe. The Angel Reese 1 officially launched in retail on September 18, 2025, marking Reese as the 15th player in WNBA history to debut her own sneaker, as reported by Andscape. The shoe quickly sold out on Reebok’s website within hours, across all 24 sizes and three launch colorways.
Reese emphasized that the shoe held personal significance, rather than being merely a promotional item. “The Angel Reese 1 embodies years of dedication, resilience, and effort, not only from myself but also from my supporters and the amazing team that surrounds me,” she stated. “I desire the Angel Reese 1 to instill confidence with each step, whether you’re excelling on the court or leaving your impression beyond it.”
The “Red” colorway makes its debut as Reese embarks on a new journey following her trade from the Chicago Sky to the Atlanta Dream in April 2026. The Dream connection transforms this sneaker from a mere release into a significant visual reset for her brand.
Reebok presents the Angel Reese 1 as a high-performance basketball shoe featuring ERS technology, a molded upper, and Reese’s signature logo, combining stability, energy return, and a stylish design.
For Reese, the “Red” drop is significant as it ties together all that she has evolved into: WNBA star, fashion icon, Reebok centerpiece, and cultural influencer. If fans react as they did to her initial release, this could demonstrate that her sneaker line is more than just a fleeting trend. It is increasingly becoming a significant aspect of her legacy.
