Angel Reese is back in the sneaker spotlight, and the latest release of her signature Reebok shoes promises to shake the market once again. The Chicago Sky forward and rising basketball icon is set to unveil the “Midnight Diamond Dust” colorway of the Reebok Angel Reese 1 on December 11, available online at Reebok’s website and at Dick’s Sporting Goods for $120. Just like her previous releases, anticipation is soaring, with fans already marking their calendars for the highly anticipated drop.
According to Reese, the “Midnight Diamond Dust” design is more than just a stylish shoe—it’s a tribute to grit, perseverance, and relentless hustle. “From sunup to sundown, the ‘Midnight Diamond Dust’ colorway represents the long days followed by long nights of putting in the work,” she said in a statement. “Like the original Diamond Dust colorway, this new edition is for all those who hustle to achieve their dreams.” The message resonates with Reese’s journey from a standout LSU player to a WNBA All-Star and Reebok ambassador.

The original Angel Reese 1 made waves during July’s WNBA All-Star Weekend, previewing the design that would sell out minutes after hitting Reebok’s website on September 18. Fans quickly realized that Reese’s sneakers are more than merchandise—they are a symbol of her work ethic and on-court dominance, embodying her signature style and presence in women’s basketball.
This release should not be confused with the “Mebounds” sneakers, introduced earlier this year after Reese patented the term, which celebrates her unique ability to rebound her own missed shots—something that sparked widespread attention in the WNBA and among her growing fanbase. With the “Midnight Diamond Dust” edition, Reese continues to merge basketball excellence with a strong cultural and personal identity, reinforcing her status as a trailblazer both on and off the court.
Reese’s partnership with Reebok began before her professional career, when the company signed her to a name, image, and likeness (NIL) deal while she played at LSU. When the Chicago Sky drafted her, Reebok extended the relationship, ensuring she remained the face of the brand and received a signature shoe line and apparel collections. Under the guidance of Reebok Basketball President Shaquille O’Neal, also an LSU alum, Reese has become the brand’s primary ambassador, representing not just athletic skill but hard work, resilience, and style.
As December 11 approaches, fans are speculating whether the “Midnight Diamond Dust” will follow the rapid sellout trend of previous releases. With Reese’s growing influence, a loyal fanbase, and a unique story embedded in every pair, it’s clear that these shoes are more than footwear—they are a statement. The question remains: will this latest drop set a new record, or will it disappear from shelves even faster than the last?
With Angel Reese at the helm, the sneaker game—and the basketball world—is watching closely, ready for whatever she delivers next.
