How sweet it is!
Chicago Sky’s rookie sensation Angel Reese may soon be stepping onto the court in a striking new pair of custom sneakers designed to celebrate both her and her fans.
Renowned shoe designer Marvin Baroota, who has previously crafted footwear for Reese during this 2024 WNBA season, recently unveiled his latest creation for the rising star.
On Saturday, Baroota took to social media platform X to showcase the innovative design.
Inspired by the popular peanut butter candy, Reese’s Pieces, these shoes cleverly nod to a playful nickname and fan base moniker derived from Reese’s name and her connection to the candy. The new design is a vibrant homage to this sweet treat, featuring the iconic orange and yellow colorway synonymous with the Reese’s Pieces brand.
Adding a personalized touch, the sneakers include an “A” logo stylized in the Reese’s Pieces font, set against a buttercup symbol background. The details extend to individualized elements on each shoe—one is emblazoned with “Reese Angel,” and the other sports a graphic of a buttercup with a playful bite taken out of it, enhancing the candy theme.

Reese herself responded to Baroota’s post with a fire emoji, signaling her approval of the fiery new design.
Fans also expressed their enthusiasm, praising the creativity and style of the sneakers. Comments ranged from appreciation of the unique “A” logo to expressions of desire to own a pair themselves due to the appealing color scheme. One enthusiastic supporter suggested, “Those are tough,” complementing the design with a fire emoji to underscore the sentiment.
Further stirring excitement, another fan tagged the Reese’s brand in a comment, playfully suggesting, “We need to see Angel in a commercial and her face on some packs,” envisioning a broader collaboration that extends beyond the basketball court.
While it’s still unclear exactly when Reese will debut these custom kicks in a game, anticipation is high, especially with a game against the Minnesota Lynx scheduled for Sunday.
Fans are eagerly awaiting to see if Reese will choose this high-profile game to showcase her new, candy-inspired footwear, making a fashion statement that resonates with her personal brand and connects with her fan base.
