Does Angel Reese's message to Kim Kardashian show the power of sports in bridging different worlds?

From her eyelashes to donning a single-legged sleeve on the court, Angel Reese’s style is incomparable. Apart from her balling skills, she has set the stage on fire with her photoshoots and unique choice of clothes. The 22-year-old once again has caught the attention and this time, it is of the USA style icon Kim Kardashian. Reese was spotted wearing the headphone set from the BeatsxKim, which is the result of a collaboration between Kim Kardashian and Beats.

Kardashian, on noticing that, took to the social media networking site Instagram and shared the picture of the same on her story with a message for Reese. “OMG she’s wearing the beats x kim headphones,” wrote Kim K, with heart emojis. Seeing this, Reese reshared the image on her story and replied, “kim k you know I love you & im always repping the @beatsbydre family.” 

The headphones hit shelves just a week ago and the Beats x Kim collection is a reflection of the Beats Studio Pros in three Kim colors. The headphone set is available in moon, dune, and deep colors each of which is Kardashian’s favorite. As per Beats, the headphones will help users express their identity “through color by creating monochromatic or contrasted looks.” Reese was spotted with the Dune color. The headphones are priced at a decent $349.99, although with various discounts, they can be bought for $299.95, as per Rolling Stones. However, this is not the first time that Reese has been associated with Beats.

Back in April this year, she appeared in an advertisement with Naomi Osaka and Sha’Carri Richardson. They had joined hands to star in the commercial for Solo 4 headphones and wireless earbuds. The three were also spotted wearing the earphones. Reese, in particular, got a lot of attention from her hooping fans after the advertisement, creating an impact among her admirers. However, Kardashian had previously faced a lot of trolling for not including Reese in one of her adverts.

Kardashian founded the SKIMS brand and dropped a commercial in May this year that was centered on women ballers. The advert featured popular names such as Kelsey Plum, Cameron Brink, Candace Parker, Skylar Diggins-Smith, and DiJonai Carrington. Each of them was seen practicing their skills wearing SKIMS which sent a message regarding the stretchability and flexibility of the fabric. However, a section of the fans were disappointed that Reese who had been drafted as the seventh overall pick wasn’t present in the advert.

Looks like Kardashian had her own learnings from the backlash that followed. On the other hand, this time she didn’t let the opportunity to applaud Reese go. Instead, she chose to market her headphones and Reese by engaging the basketball fans with her stories through a picture.

Hopefully, the headphones will turn out to be one of the favorites of the balling community. And Reese too will continue to enchant fans with her WNBA performances and rock her looks in style wearing the headphones.
