Angel Reese’s Rose-Adorned Custom Reebok Sneakers Revealed Ahead of Unrivaled Debut

Marvin Baroota, founder of SoLegit Customs, couldn’t have created a more fitting custom sneaker for Angel Reese ahead of her Unrivaled debut.

The artist reimagined the Reebok Engine A for Reese, the athletic brand’s first performance basketball shoe release since the early 2010s. For Reese, he created a look replete with tonal pink roses that adorn a predominantly green shoe with hits of black.

The rose storytelling is a timely one, as Reese is set to play for Unrivaled — a new three-on-three women’s basketball league founded by WNBA stars Breanna Stewart and Napheesa Collier — as a member of the Roses B.C.

Reese’s team — just like the five other in Unrivaled — is stacked. The star forward will play alongside Chelsea Gray, Brittney Sykes, Kahleah Copper, Azurá Stevens and Lexie Hull.

The first-ever season for Unrivaled tips off Jan. 16 on TNT. At 7 p.m. ET, the Mist B.C. will face the Lunar Owls B.C., and the second game of the night will feature Reese and the Rose B.C. against. the Vinyl B.C. at 8 p.m. ET.
