Angel Reese is on a roll as she just had yet another viral offseason moment, this time in collaboration with Vogue Australia.
The Chicago Sky forward was recently in Australia for the launch of her signature Reebok shoes, the Angel Reese 1. During this promotional run, she was featured on the digital cover of the regional edition of Vogue. This makes Reese the first female athlete to be on the cover of Vogue with her own signature shoe.
Reese took to Instagram, sharing images of the Vogue photoshoot with the caption, "Never been done—Vogue Australia in my own signature Reebok. I came to stand behind Australian women’s basketball and continue growing this game globally. This is what it looks like when purpose meets the moment."
This is the second time that Angel Reese has been featured on a Vogue cover; she appeared on the American Vogue Winter 2025 issue, featuring alongside Olympic sprinter Gabby Thomas.
That being said, Reese has already been featured in Vogue articles, once in a Teen Vogue article after winning the NCAA championship in 2023, and once more in the following year, when she announced her WNBA draft declaration.
This landmark achievement by Angel Reese was heralded by her fans, who set the comment section ablaze with joy, pride, and excitement.
