On August 8, Reebok dropped the first look of Chicago Sky rookie Angel Reese's debut collection, which is, "inspired by her powerful energy and versatile style."

The announced date for that release was August 23. And Reebok made good on that promise, as Reese's debut collection is now live and available for purchase on the apparel company's website.

Per an August 8 announcement from Boardroom, the collection features three different shoe styles and seven unique pieces of apparel that, "spotlights Reese’s unapologetic bold style through metallic ‘silver chrome’ and an icy ‘always blue’ color palette."

All of the new shoes are between $100 and $120, and the apparel pieces are anywhere from $35 to $100.

In speaking about the collection with Boardroom, Reese said, "I wanted to create a collection that allowed women and girls everywhere to embrace their femininity and power in whatever they’re doing.

“This collection is for her to be stylish and fierce on all occasions,” the 22-year-old former LSU Tiger icon added.

This Reebok release is historic because marks the first athletic brand product launch by any rookie from the 2024 WNBA Draft class, which has drawn an entirely new level of attention to the sport of women's basketball.

While Caitlin Clark's apparel deal with Nike is valued at $28 million, they weren't able to come out with the Indiana Fever sensation's debut collection before Reebok released Reese's.

Reese's unprecedented marketing genius has been on display during the last few days. On Wednesday, she announced on X that she's collaborating with Reese's Candy for a limited edition "Angel Reese x Reese’s Pieces Logo Collection," which is available exclusively on her website.

Now Reese's fanbase will need to decide whether they want Reebok or Reese's Pieces Logo apparel.

Then again, many of them will likely be buying apparel from both.
