Angel Reese has been on a roll partnering with brands to expand her business portfolio. The Chicago Sky forward’s collaboration with Reebok dropped on Friday before the highly anticipated release of “Reese’s Pieces” with The Hershey Company. Reese is now the famous candy company’s brand ambassador.
Per Nick DePaula, the Reese-Hershey team-up will begin with the first of three drops of “Reese-branded apparel” on Wednesday. In an X (formerly Twitter) post, the Sky rookie showed that the collection includes t-shirts, hats and hoodies. DePaula added that for the second and third releases, the collaboration will feature a jersey and an “eight-item apparel set.”
To celebrate her partnership with The Hershey Company, Angel Reese brought a custom-designed shoe for Friday’s game against the Connecticut Sun:

Marvin Baroota, a well-known sneaker artist, used the Reebok Solution as the canvas for “Reese’s Pieces.” The chocolate-colored shoe stood out in the Chicago Sky’s game against the Minnesota Lynx late in June. Baroota’s creation came out after Reese and her fans urged the forward and the brand to form a partnership.
With Angel Reese and Hershey’s eventually teaming up, she had to bring back the shoe that helped pave the way for the collaboration. Reese had another double-double, finishing with 13 points, 20 rebounds, three assists and two blocks. Chicago, however, lost 82-80 in Connecticut.
Angel Reese credits fans for her partnership with The Hershey Company
Following a thrilling 88-87 win by the Chicago Sky over the Indiana Fever late in June, Angel Reese went on X to engage her fans. The star forward asked a simple question:
“Reese’s pieces where yall at?????”
The Hershey Company decided to join the fray:
“Where are we? Just following our favorite player.”
A few days later, Marvin Baroota ramped up the anticipation with his unmistakable Hershey-themed sneakers.
Angel Reese, per Boardroom, credited the fans for her deal with the brand:
“The fans really made this happen. This collection is for my Reese’s Pieces — who’ve been with me every step of the way.”
Reese added:
“The connection between my name and the Reese’s brand was obvious, but it went deeper than that. My fans started calling themselves ‘Reese’s Pieces,’ and after I kept seeing it on social, I started engaging with some of my fans about it.”
For the coming release of the first drop, The Hershey Company declared “We Answered” the call for collaborative work. The fans wanted to see the team-up and they are finally getting a taste of the collection in five days. The "Chi Barbie" is thankful for her followers’ support.
