Keep the Faith: Why Angel Reese’s Reebok Drop Needs Us All
Angel Reese with her debut signature sneakers that starts releasing 9/18/25
This September, Angel Reese is stepping into her next chapter with the launch of her Angel Signature sneaker through Reebok. For Angel, this isn’t just about a shoe—it’s about staking her claim in a market where not everyone wants to see her win.
A Tale of Two Drops
When A’ja Wilson’s Nike shoe dropped, the community showed up in force. Pairs moved quickly, timelines flooded with support, and the energy was undeniable. That wasn’t just about sneakers—it was about protecting and uplifting a Black woman who earned her seat at the table.
Angel deserves that same love—actually, she deserves more. Because while A’ja had Nike’s machine behind her, Angel is rolling with Reebok. That means she doesn’t have the luxury of brand equity doing half the work for her. What she has is grit, star power, and us.
The Target on Angel’s Back

Angel Reese has been one of the most polarizing athletes of her generation. Critics nitpick her game. She’s constantly compared to Caitlin Clark, as if one’s shine takes away from the other. She’s called “too much” for her beauty, her confidence, and her willingness to wear what she wants. Some people want to reduce her to nothing more than an attention-seeker.
But Angel doesn’t fold. She embraces it, flips it, and keeps breaking barriers anyway. That’s why this moment is bigger than basketball—it’s about shifting culture, rewriting narratives, and proving that her name carries weight no matter what logo is on the box.
Why This Drop Matters
The Angel Signature is not just Reebok trying to sell sneakers. It’s a statement that women’s basketball players can redefine the market. It’s proof that Angel’s reach is wide enough to push a brand forward.
But none of that happens without us. If we don’t support this release the way we supported A’ja, the critics will run with the narrative that Angel couldn’t move shoes. That’s why this September is a call to action.
The Call to Action
When the Angel Signature drops, we need to treat it like a cultural event. Buy it. Post it. Gift it. Flood the timelines. Put pressure on the narrative until it cracks.
Because Angel doesn’t just represent herself—she represents a generation of Black women athletes who are told they’re too loud, too flashy, too much. Supporting her sneaker is about proving them wrong.
She doesn’t just deserve our support—she’s earned it. Now it’s on us to deliver.
