Matt Varga The 2026 WNBA Finals have been one for the ages, pitting two unconventional team builds against one another in a series that promises a first-time champion. Either it’ll be the depth-focused Golden State Valkyries that end up on top, or the defense and transition effort of the Atlanta Dream that prevails.
We know for a fact that Reebok is pulling for one side in particular. It may seem like just another signature shoe from a distance, but we can’t lose sight of the fact that Angel Reese was handpicked to be the first hooper with her own design in this renewed era of Reebok hoops. Playing into her overall star power, the company has rolled out several notable collaborations for the Angel Reese 1, with the Reese’s pair that dropped earlier in October among the more notable.
Sneaker News now brings you a look at a friends-and-family-exclusive colorway, diverging from the gradient-laden pair that hit shelves about a week before Halloween. The variation that hit shelves focused a bit more on brand-specific cues, particularly with the combination of bright yellow gradient siding and orange hits running down the midline.
For lack of a better term, this counterpart is a bit more focused on the actual sweets, utilizing swirl-like patterning from top to bottom and overall delivering a far earthier profile. Despite the new hues, some of the more successful co-branding details remain in place, like the Reese’s typeface on the tongue that toggles between “A” and “R” from left to right; a custom shoe box included with each pair is really just icing on the cup.
Reebok confirms that this friends-and-family Reebok x Angel Reese 1 will not see a public release, remaining exclusive to both brands’ and the athlete’s inner circle. You can window shop to your heart’s content via the gallery included below.
