The WNBA Finals tip off this Saturday, October 17, but Angel Reese also has exciting news off the court. The basketball star shared a behind-the-scenes video of her collaboration with Reebok and Reese’s, which turned the famous candy brand’s colors into a special-edition sneaker.

Although the collection was announced in September 2026, the new footage offers a closer look at the Reebok Angel Reese 1 and the photo shoot featuring the Atlanta Dream star.

For the shoot, Reese opted for a brown outfit, a matching jacket, her hair pulled back into a ponytail, and gold earrings. However, the sneakers stole much of the spotlight thanks to their distinctive color combination.

The orange laces and brand logos on the tongue and insoles reinforce the visual connection to Reese’s. The release also includes a special orange box designed to accompany the launch.

Beyond their appearance, the sneakers feature basketball-focused technology, including Reebok’s Energy Return System (ERS), SuperFloat cushioning made with nitrogen-infused foam, and a TPU heel structure designed to provide support and stability.

The choice of Reese’s also reflects Reese’s connection with her fans. Some call her “Reese’s Pieces,” a nickname that plays on her last name and the candy brand. This connection gives the collaboration a personal touch for the basketball star, making it more than just a combination of two brands’ colors.
