LSU All-American Angel Reese signs deal with Reebok

LSU All-American Angel Reese has recently signed an endorsement deal with a prominent shoe and athletic apparel company, Reebok.

Reebok made the announcement on Tuesday, revealing that they have partnered with the star forward from the LSU Tigers, as she gears up for her first season since leading LSU to a national title last spring.

In an interview published on the company’s website, Reese expressed her admiration for former NBA player Shaquille O’Neal, who has recently become Reebok’s president of basketball. She credited O’Neal for being instrumental in bringing this deal to fruition.

“Now that he’s been announced as their President of Basketball, that is truly inspirational to me. Being able to witness an athlete or a former athlete transitioning from just being a player to becoming the president of a brand is a significant milestone,” said Reese. “I aspire to achieve something similar in the future.”

The terms of the agreement have not been disclosed. Reese is the first athlete to be signed by O’Neal in his new role at Reebok.

“There is no one currently making a greater impact on the game than Angel Reese,” O’Neal stated.

As part of the partnership, Reese will be showcasing her favorite Reebok shoe styles and athletic apparel. ___
