Angel Reese Takes WNBA Influence Down Under
Angel Reese skipped Unrivaled this season. It turns out that the decision was for good reason. Reese has been going on a world tour of sorts. First, she started her vacation in Barbados “to shoot something really big.” Then she appeared on the sidelines for the Magic’s game against the Memphis Grizzlies at O2 Arena in London, England.

Now, the Chicago Sky star has travelled to Australia to become the face of Reebok’s WNBL deal. Reebok is now the official footwear sponsor of the Australian women’s basketball league. To commemorate the deal, Reese appeared on the WNBL sidelines while simultaneously launching her new Reebok shoe, Angel Reese 1 in Rose Dust.

“It’s essential that young athletes can see what’s possible both on and off the court, and few embody that better than global basketball icon Angel Reese,” said WNBL CEO Jennie Sager. “She inspires athletes of all ages, and we’re thrilled she’s chosen Australia to launch her latest shoe. To have WNBL stars standing alongside her sends a powerful message to the next generation about what they can achieve.”

Reese even teased a possible WNBL appearance in the future. “Maybe, maybe one day,” Reese said. “I do like Australia, so maybe I’ll come out here to play one game or two.” There is a long history of Australian players like Sandy Brondello and Alanna Smith who have graced the WNBA.

“Proud to stand behind a league that pours into its women athletes. Grateful to help bridge the global gap with Reebok—creating more opportunities for women worldwide,💪🏽🌎” Reese wrote. For now, Reese will continue her tour of the world, with destinations such as Japan and Germany mentioned previously. While Reese is releasing her new shoes, her rival, Caitlin Clark, is doing the same back home.

Caitlin Clark had an injury-prone 2025 season, playing only 13 games. Now, she is raring back for a strong comeback in 2026. Off the court, Clark and her fans are also awaiting her signature shoe, which is set to be released in 2026. According to Clark, it has technology that “isn’t anything that they’ve ever put into a basketball shoe before.” While the fans have no news regarding the signature shoe yet, they did receive the first reveal of a new Kobe 6 Protro PE.
The PE’s have a white reptile skin upper with black Swooshes, with contrasting colors of blue and yellow. The right side is branded blue while the left is yellow. These bright colors are boldly present on the heel counter and outsole as well, with the red Kobe sheath logo on the tongue completing the design.

According to Sole Retriever, this shoe will not be released to the public. However, Clark made a unique proposition. “If you can guess what these are, I’ll give you a pair,” Clark wrote in her story, asking the fans to guess the theme. Clark also announced a major achievement. She hit the game-winning shot at the 5v5 practice on the day. While Clark is making major improvements in practice, her compatriot Paige Bueckers is also doing the same in Unrivaled.

Paige Bueckers Earns Backing From The Fastest Man On Earth
Paige Bueckers has been balling at Unrivaled. She earned $50000 in prize money after winning Unrivaled’s first free-throw competition. The Dallas Wings star has been averaging 25 points and 6.7 assists per game. Going up against Hive for Breeze BC, Bueckers had a special fan in attendance: Usain Bolt.
“I’m definitely a fan,” Bolt said on the TNT Broadcast. “We actually support Dallas, we’ve been to a few games in Dallas, and we actually are getting season tickets this season. So I’m looking forward to seeing many more games.”
Bolt attended the Wings vs Aces game this past season and linked up with A’ja Wilson and Paige Bueckers after the game. With Bolt on the sidelines, Bueckers and Breeze unfortunately went down 70-68 against Hive to drop to 5-5. But Bueckers still dropped 28 points,7 rebounds, and 5 assists.
