Learn more about Reebok’s newest athlete partner, college basketball champion and fashion superstar Angel Reese. Reebok sat down with Reese to chat all things sports, favorite Reebok styles, and more.
Congrats on your new partnership with Reebok! What are some of the reasons that made you want to be a part of the Reebok family?
Well, it started off by talking to Shaq and understanding the values that align with the brand. As a former athlete, now that he’s just been announced as their President of Basketball that is inspirational to me, just being able to see an athlete or former athlete shift from not just being an athlete, but being the President of the brand is something that’s important. I would love to do that one day.
How does it feel to be working with Shaq?
It feels great, Shaq is so much fun! I love him, and he’s been super supportive to me and everything I’ve done. Even if I didn’t work with Reebok he’d still support me, and our relationship has always been amazing. Everything is just so much fun, and what player wouldn’t want feedback from one of the best bigs of all time!?
You’re known for your strong style on and off the court. What are some of your go-to style rules you try to follow?
I don’t like wearing heels. I like wearing tennis shoes. Reebok has cute tennis shoes I love to wear so that’s great for me!
What are some of your favorite Reebok styles?
Club C Bulc, BB 4000 II, Club C 85 Vintage, and any of the Lux collection leggings and sports bras.
You’ve already accomplished so much at such a young age. What are the goals you’re still working towards?
First to graduate this year, and to win another championship, then to decide if I’m going to come back to college or go pro. Either one will be a blessing and I’m super excited.
You have so many youths who look up to you. What message would you want to pass on to them or anyone who wants to follow in your footsteps?
Be authentically and unapologetically you. Never stay in a box or let anybody put you in a box. Be confident, stand strong and stand firm on who you are.
Can you share a favorite moment from youth sports?
I remember when I was younger when me and my brother had a basketball court in front of our house and my mom had to take it down because we were too competitive and used to go at it so much. I think that it helped build me into who I am today and makes me strong in who I am. I have to give kudos to my brother.
