Angel Reese is proving she’s more than just a basketball star – she’s a certified fashion icon! Her latest collaboration with Reebok, the ‘Charm City’ sneakers, has officially sold out, marking another major win for the athlete-turned-trendsetter.
A Hit Collaboration for ‘Charm City’
The ‘Bayou Barbie’s’ signature shoe with Reebok, the Angel Reese 1, has been a massive success since its debut. Following the rapid sell-out of its initial colorways, the special-edition ‘Charm City’ sneakers, released on October 24th, also flew off the shelves within a day.
These ‘Charm City’ sneakers pay a special tribute to Reese’s Baltimore roots. Featuring an “Unapologetic” purple-and-black design reminiscent of the city’s NFL team, the Ravens, the $120 sneakers were highly anticipated. Reese herself expressed her connection to the city, stating, “This city gave me my grit and made me who I am today.”
Solidifying Her Fashion Icon Status
The overwhelming success of the ‘Charm City’ line, especially for a women’s basketball sneaker, further cements Reese’s status as a fashion force. The 23-year-old power forward proudly embraces this title, reflecting on her diverse accomplishments.
Reese took to X (formerly Twitter) to celebrate the sell-out, listing her many roles: “Hooper. Model. Fashion Icon. Actress. Podcaster. Entrepreneur. Business Owner. Home Owner. All at 23. But, GOD. 🙏🏽” This sentiment highlights her drive and ambition beyond the basketball court.
Building a Brand Beyond Basketball
With ventures like modeling for Victoria’s Secret, hosting a podcast, and cultivating a growing business empire, Reese is clearly building a powerful brand. While she may have desires for her WNBA team, the Chicago Sky, her focus on her personal brand is undeniable.
For fans still hoping to get their hands on a pair of the sold-out ‘Charm City’ sneakers, there’s a glimmer of hope: select sizes may still be available at Dick’s Sporting Goods. What do you think of Angel Reese’s impact on fashion?
