Angel Reese has teased her fans with the possibility of her own shoe label. If that happens, LSU star will be breaking NCAA athlete’s records and becoming the first female college athlete to have her own shoe line. However, the nature of the news is still uncertain. But Reese is taking full advantage of the NCAA’s NIL (name, image, likeness) policy in luring top firms for sponsorship. She rose to prominence during March Madness and after leading Louisiana State University to its first-ever NCAA title.

The recent tweet and Shaq-influenced deal worth $2.5 billion of Angel Reese, along with Gary Redus, have opened the floor for a pool of speculations. Yet the authenticity of the news has yet to be confirmed by the Reese. If it ever happened to have a shoe line by Reese, it would increase her NIL value as she competes with Caitlin Clark’s State Farm Deal.
