Angel Reese announced the release of her first signature shoe with Reebok, the Angel Reese 1, on Thursday. The shoe is set to be launched on July 25 in the Poison Angel colorway, and fans are excited to see the new drop. On Wednesday, Caitlin Clark also shared a glimpse of her first signature shoe with the rival brand Nike, named the Caitlin 1. And fans could not stop comparing the two products.
The rivalry this time is not just between the two players but between the brands as well. Reebok and Nike have been at the forefront of signing up-and-coming WNBA players. Moreover, Clark and Reese have been long-term rivals since their college days, and that has transitioned to the pro league as well.
Reebok’s Instagram account shared the update with the caption:
“Angel Reese 1: Poison Angel�
Available 6/25”
Fans quickly compared the two, and one chose the Reese 1 over the Caitlin 1:
“Better than Clark’s😂.”
Another fan responded in the same tone and claimed that Nike shoes are just a “copy” of others:
“And they are original not a copy of every other Nike shoe.”
One more fan replied:
“eaaaactly not another kobe-kd hybrid & calling it “new””
However, another user was sure that the Caitlin 1 would do better than Reese’s launch in the sneaker market:
“no they ain’t LOL and sales will hilariously show that 😭🤣😂😭 cry in ur bathtub.”
Clark’s new shoe is set to launch in October. Reese’s announcement has come before the Indiana Fever’s second matchup of the season, against the Atlanta Dream.
