"Reebok and I built something that's true to who I am, and I hope it pushed others to stand in their power, too.
At the end of the day, it's built for basketball—made to move and perform at the highest level."
The rollout aligns with a broader summer expansion for Reebok, which also announced the signing of St. John's University commit Tounde Yessoufou, the first native-born athlete from Benin to sign a major shoe deal.

"Reebok continues to make big moves in Basketball," said Yessoufou. "I'm honored to join the team and partner with a brand that shares a similar mindset.
We're doing things differently and making an impact on young players."
Beyond basketball, Reebok announced its return to soccer with the Sidewinder 26 Elite FG boot, set to launch on July 1, 2026, under the direction of elite athletes including Dusan Vlahovic.
"The Sidewinder 26 Elite FG gives me the confidence to strike with precision, power and total intent in every moment," said Vlahović.
"It's built for control under pressure and the explosive responsiveness – that's what I rely on to perform at my best."
The new soccer boot features a Premium Synthetic Microfiber Upper, Supra Skin, a Vestamid Plate, and a Shooting Brake designed to prevent power loss during strikes.
"Lightweight yet supportive, it enables sharp cuts, quick transitions and complete command of the ball at speed, translating instinct into decisive execution at the highest level," the press release reads.
The expansion reflects the company's long-term performance strategy as it re-enters competitive team sports markets.
"Reebok has a deep legacy in football, and returning to the game is an important step in our broader performance strategy," said Todd Krinsky, CEO of Reebok.
"With Sidewinder, we're bringing a new energy and a distinct point of view to the sport – built for today's athlete and what comes next."
The Reebok Angel Reese 1 "Poison Angel" is scheduled to release on June 25, 2026, at 10 a.
