ANGEL REESE 1 NAVY HALO DROPS MARCH 14 REEBOK

## Navy Conquers White The Angel Reese 1 "Navy Halo" released March 13, 2026, bringing Vector Navy and Peri Blue to the signature silhouette that sold out in minutes six months earlier. Priced at $130, the colorway delivers "deep blue strength and effortless quiet confidence," according to Reese. The deep navy shell wraps the sculpted upper and midsole, creating unified contrast against crisp white interiors and laces. The molded TPU upper provides stability and durability, powered by Reebok's Energy Return System technology underfoot. The low-profile stance and sculpted midsole support fast-paced play with rubber outsole patterns engineered for confident grip during hard stops and sharp cuts. This is performance footwear disguised as lifestyle product. ## Breaking Records Before Breaking In Reese's debut shoe sold out within minutes online in all three colorways when it launched September 18, 2025. The original AR1 retailed for $120 and launched globally on Reebok.com and Dick's Sporting Goods. The commercial performance made Reese the fastest player in two decades to receive a signature shoe. "We began our return to sport with the signing of Angel, and she has surpassed even our most ambitious hopes," said Reebok Head of Basketball Jide Osifeso. Even Shaquille O'Neal, Reebok's President of Basketball, admitted the brand was pleasantly surprised after holding their breath before the debut. The Navy Halo is one of four colorways in Reese's SS26 collection, which includes Rose Dust, launched in late February 2026 during her return to Unrivaled Basketball. The Navy Halo became available at 10 a.m. EST on Reebok.com and Dick's Sporting Goods retailers. ## Shaq's $130 Gamble Pays Off Shaquille O'Neal recruited Reese as his first signing after becoming Reebok Basketball President in October 2023. "Angel, you want to go with Nike where they're just gonna give you a regular shoe. Or do you want to deal with a motherfu-ker that will give you your own shoe?" O'Neal told Reese. Reese became the sixth active WNBA player with a signature shoe deal, joining Breanna Stewart (Puma), Sabrina Ionescu (Nike), Caitlin Clark (Nike), A'ja Wilson (Nike) and Sydney Colson (Creative Control). This deal made Reese only the second WNBA player to receive a signature shoe from Reebok. The Angel Reese 1 is Reebok's first signature basketball sneaker since former Washington Wizards John Wall's Zig Escape in 2012. Reese's WNBA contract earns her $73,439 in her rookie season, with a slight increase to $74,909 in 2025. The Reebok deal changes those economics entirely. ## Material Truth The Angel Reese 1 features flowing sidewall geometry and layered upper construction that reflects Reese's on-court intensity, with subtle branding hits including Reese's personal logo and Reebok Vector marks integrated seamlessly. The design takes inspiration from Reebok's Mobius line, evolving the Exoskeleton Upper into the shape and angelic finish of a wing. The ERS multi-component technology system features a lightweight EVA midsole with strategically placed pods of nitrogen-infused SuperFloat foam in the heel and forefoot for impact absorption and energy return. A TPU stability cup in the heel provides structure for players like Reese who thrive on physicality and power. The Navy Halo proves Reebok's return to basketball performance is not about nostalgia. It is about engineering that justifies the price and silhouettes that work beyond the gym. At $130, the material package and construction details compete directly with Nike and Adidas offerings at similar price points.
