Chicago Sky star Angel Reese, who recently joked that her WNBA salary didn’t cover her rent, has agreed to a multiyear endorsement contract extension with Reebok, reported ESPN. The forward will also have a signature shoe release in 2026. However, the financial terms of the deal have not been disclosed.
“Reebok and Angel are growing together every day and our visions for the future are aligned,” Jide Osifeso, Reebok’s head of basketball, told ESPN. “We’re excited to continue the relationship with a ground-up build of her signature silhouette.”
Reese, who ended her rookie season with a WNBA-record 13.1 rebounds, becomes the six active WNBA player with a signature shoe deal. The other ones include New York Liberty’s Breanna Stewart (Puma) and Sabrina Ionescu (Nike), the Las Vegas Aces’ A’ja Wilson (Nike) and Sydney Colson (Creative Control), and the Indiana Fever’s Caitlin Clark (Nike).
The Chicago Sky forward has recently made headlines after joking on an Instagram live that her WNBA salary ($73,439 for her first season) wasn’t enough to cover her rent. “I just hope you know the WNBA don’t pay my bills at all. I don’t even think that pays one of my bills,” she said.

“Literally, I’m trying to think of my rent for where I stay [in Chicago]. I’m gonna do the math real quick. I don’t even know my [WNBA] salary,” she said, before revealing her rent was $8K. “Yo, I’m living beyond my means!” she joked. However, that comment created a whole social media controversy, with Reese having to respond. After the announcement of the deal, she wrote on X: “God is so good!!! (looks like i can “afford” my bills now).”
