Angel Reese has become one of the most influential figures in basketball and a key face of Reebok. Since entering the WNBA, the Chicago Sky star has risen to prominence as the leading ambassador for the brand’s basketball division. She also launched her own exclusive shoe line — an honor reserved only for the elite in the sport.
The ‘Angel Reese 1’ sneakers were released earlier this year and became an instant success. Even Shaquille O’Neal mentioned that they were “sold out.” But recently, another athlete caught Reese’s attention: Tari Eason of the Houston Rockets, who wore the ‘Mebounds’, one of the designs created by Reese herself.
According to The Sports Rush, Eason, who had struggled early in the 2025–26 season, came alive against the Brooklyn Nets, scoring 22 points, 5 assists, and 5 rebounds. He also made five three-pointers and helped his team secure a solid victory.
“MEBOUNDS LOOK DESCENDED,” Reese wrote on X, reacting to Eason’s bold pink sneakers. Her post quickly filled with fire and heart emojis, showing her excitement and pride.
A symbol of confidence and style
Fans on social media joked about the shoes, claiming that Eason’s hot performance was somehow “connected to Reese’s Reeboks.” One fan commented, “Whatever you put in those sneakers, I’ve never seen him score like that before.”

The connection between the two athletes highlights the growing influence of Reebok’s new basketball era. Reese even admitted she was hesitant about releasing her shoe line before 2026. “I was against dropping it in 2025… They said, ‘No, let’s do it now.’ If it doesn’t sell out, that’s on you,” she revealed on her podcast.
Ultimately, Reese approved three versions of her line — Mebounds, Diamond Dust, and Ready Receipts. Each one became a global success, reaffirming her power both on and off the court.
