Ahead of achieving her 23rd double-double, Angel Reese made headlines by launching her first-ever Reebok shoe collection. With Shaquille O’Neal at the helm as Reebok’s president, the brand is poised to make bold moves and Reese’s collection is a clear signal of what’s to come.

To mark the occasion, the WNBA star gifted her new sneakers to close friends, including La La Anthony, who excitedly shared a snap of the shoes on Instagram.

“So proud of you, @angelreese5, on your @reebok collection. Continue to inspire so many of us!!! Love u always,” she said.

Carmelo’s connection with the Jordan Brand

This might not sit well with La La’s ex-husband, Carmelo Anthony, who has a long history with the Jordan Brand and is known for his vast sneaker collection.

As the first athlete to endorse Jordan with his own signature line, Carmelo‘s loyalty to the brand runs deep, and his impressive collection includes several rare Air Jordans gifted by Michael Jordan himself. With Reebok now stepping up its game, some lighthearted competition in the sneaker world could be brewing.

While Carmelo may remain neutral, La La is fully embracing Reese’s new venture. She has frequently shown support for the Chicago Sky rookie and recently backed Reese when she received criticism for sporting a Dennis Rodman jersey.

La La left heart emojis on Reese‘s post showcasing the outfit, with a comment reading, “Chicago hottieeeeee,” emphasizing her admiration for Reese’s fashion sense.

Reese’s shoe collection features the vibrant colorways of the BB 4000 II, Premier Road VI, and Classic Leather shoes.
