La La Anthony, the ex-wife of retired NBA star Carmelo Anthony, was thrilled to receive Angel Reese merchandise. La La shared on Instagram that she was gifted a part of the Chicago Sky star’s "Reebok by Angel" shoe collection.
La La received the exclusive collection, which includes the Angel Reese versions of the Premier Road VI, BB 4000 II and Classic Leather sneakers. These shoes showcase blue, white and chrome color schemes.
La La took to Instagram to express her gratitude to Angel Reese for the gift.
“So proud of you (Angel) for your (Reebok) collection,” La La said. “Continue to inspire so many of us!!! Love u always.”
Reese reposted La La's story and captioned it with a bunch of hearts. Reebok entered into a partnership with Reese prior to her standout rookie season with the Sky, where she set new records for rebounds and double-doubles.
The brand made Reese its first major NIL signing in October 2023, when she was still playing at LSU. The decision was spearheaded by Shaquille O'Neal, president of Reebok Basketball.
“Angel is shaking up the space, just like Reebok has done all along. I’m proud to welcome Angel into the Reebok family and can’t wait to see how she will bring the brand’s legacy to the next generation," O'Neal said.
Locking up a partnership with Reese proved to be a win for Reebok, as Reese is having a historic season for the Chicago Sky and is a Rookie of the Year candidate.
La La has consistently supported Angel Reese, frequently commenting on her posts and admiring her accomplishments.
