Angel Reese has come a long way in the W as a rookie. She is one of the few players to have an immediate and huge impact on the league right after her debut. Unfortunately, the Sky rookie has been sidelined for the rest of the season after suffering a wrist injury in Friday's game against the Sparks.
Reese shattered multiple records in her first year and cemented her rookie season as an inspiration for future WNBA stars.
Moreover, she is among the few rookies with a signature sneaker and apparel line. Reese signed with Reebok and had the release of her signature 'Reebok by Angel Reese' collection. However, Chi-Barbie doesn't confine her style to only her latest release.
She has worn some other sneakers on the court, the signature ones displaying her fashion sense. Here are the top five sneakers Angel Reese rocked in her rookie season.
