Angel Reese And Reebok Team Up To Empower The Next Generation Of Female Athletes In Baltimore

Baltimore's own Angel Reese is giving back to her city in a very special way. Today, Reebok announced a partnership with the Angel C. Reese Foundation and Saint Frances Academy in Charm City to inspire, encourage, and motivate the next generation of female athletes.

Angel Reese Is Giving Back To Her Hometown In A Special Way

According to an official press release sent to The Blast, Reese's foundation is teaming up with her footwear partner, Reebok, to give back to the next crop of female athletes at her alma mater, Saint Frances Academy in Baltimore. The charitable partnership takes it back to where it all began for Reese, providing her former high school's current athletes with Angel Reese 1 sneakers and custom Reebok apparel, including warm-up sets and performance game jerseys.

The latest collaboration between Reebok, Reese's foundation, and Saint Frances Academy reflects a shared commitment to encouraging young women in sports. And that's not all. By providing high-end performance sport products and guidance from the Reebok Basketball team and Reese herself, this recent partnership will help the Saint Frances Panthers basketball team become well-rounded athletes and scholars.

Angel Reese Speaks Out About Inspiring The Next Crop Of Athletes

Reese has never shied away from speaking about wanting to break barriers in women's sports, and her recent collaboration with her alma mater exemplifies that.

"Empowering the next generation of young female athletes has always been my mission, and giving back to the community that raised me makes it even more special," Reese said. "Saint Frances was pivotal in my journey as an athlete and through this partnership I want to give young Panther athletes the resources, the confidence, and the inspiration to chase their dreams too."

The Reebok x Saint Frances partnership will tip off ahead of the Panthers' first game of the season on November 25, 2025. Additionally, the Chicago Sky star will host a special team basketball practice in the season ahead, focused on performance and athlete development.

"To have the support from Angel and Reebok is an honor," Saint Frances Girls Basketball Head Coach, Nytearia Burrell, said. "Angel is a pillar of inspiration for these young girls and I'm excited to see the team excel on and off the court through this partnership."

Reese Launched Her First-Ever Signature Shoe In September 2025

Reese's first-ever signature sneaker launched in September 2025 on Reebok.com and inside Dick's Sporting Goods stores. The initial drop, featuring three distinct colorways, sold out within hours, and Reese couldn't help but celebrate the special moment with a sentimental post online.

"Today I get to share a dream turned reality—my very first shoe," she captioned an Instagram video. "I can’t even put into words how PROUD I am of this moment, how THANKFUL I am for the journey, and how GRATEFUL I am for every single person who has supported me along the way. 23 years old… and I just dropped my very first signature shoe. WOW."

She added, "This is more than just a shoe—it's a piece of my story, my grind, and my growth."

Reese's sneaker comes equipped with stellar performance technology, including an Exoskeleton upper, TPU stability cup, and the company's signature Energy Return System (ERS) for stability and flexibility.

Prior to the first drop, Reese got candid about her hopes and dreams for the sneaker, sharing in an earlier interview that she wants her product to be one of the most recognizable shoes in the game.

"We’re bringing back that old-school look, the old-school vibes. People are going to be wearing Reebok everywhere, just like how they wear Jordans everywhere. I want people to wear the Angel Reese 1s everywhere and just to be a household name, to have no limits on what I can do and what I can accomplish," she said.

Reese's partnership with Saint Frances Academy isn't the only way she's shown love to where things all began for her. In October, she launched another colorway of her signature shoe, a purple and black pair titled "Charm City."

“This one’s for Charm City, to honor my roots and the community of Baltimore that has backed me from day one,” said Reese. “This city gave me my grit and made me who I am today.”
