Angel Reese Is Killing It With Kicks!
Angel Reese is killing the kick game. She may enter the arena in heels but it is the footwear she is sporting on the court that is capturing attention, given Barbie has a custom sneaker collection that is no joke.
Can’t even front Angel Reese, we felt that 😂

Even the Barbie has a time limit on how long she can wear heels, but per usual she’s serving on the game day look pic.twitter.com/QikVVwulgX
Reese wore Joker shoes for her second WNBA matchup against Caitlin Clark, as she has stated she is willing to embrace a villain role. So it is fitting everyone seems to be taking her flagrant foul against Clark so seriously while the specialized Reebok’s are laughing everything off.

Chicago based sneaker artist and owner of SoLegit Customs Marvin Baroota has been providing the star rookie with unique versions of the Solution model, which is an updated take on the signature line once worn by Allen Iverson.

That includes the Baltimore Barbies she took the floor with in her homecoming against the Washington Mystics and the traditional Barbie pink kicks she wore in the Chicago Sky’s first meeting against the Indiana Fever.

Reese like her fellow former LSU star Shaquille O’Neal chose to sign with Reebok and previously gave this reason for the decision
"I wanted to be a priority ’cause I could have signed easily with Nike. I could have signed easily with Jordan. But like everybody doing that. I don’t like doing what everybody do. I like to do the complete opposite. I’m bringing Reebok back.”
Clearly Reese has been successful in capturing a signature style for the soles she is showing off so far in her professional career.
