The pair are two of the most recognisable faces in US sports right now, with brands understandably desperate to partner up.
After an impressive debut season, Reese was handed an extension to her Reebok partnership – a deal that included the promise of a signature shoe.
Commenting on the deal, Reese said: “I’m extremely excited to let you guys know that we are officially coming out with a Reebok by Angel signature shoe.
“We’ve already kicked off the design process, and it means the world to me to have Reebok’s full support and confidence with this shoe and overall partnership. A signature shoe has always been a dream of mine, and I want all the young girls out there to remember that anything is possible.”
The bespoke shoe is set to be released by Reebok during the 2026 WNBA season, but even though Clark’s current contract with Nike also promises a signature release, fans of the Indiana Fever star are beginning to grow impatient.
That’s because Clark’s £21.5million ($28million) deal with Nike had no time limit on when her shoe was due to come out and so far the release is nowhere to be seen.
And the promise of a timescale on Reese’s release has sparked fury among WNBA fans towards Nike.
Clark waltzed her way to the Rookie of the Year award, picking up 66 of the 67 available votes, only missing out on a clean sweep to one singular Reese vote.
Women’s basketball is riding the crest of the wave right now – something Clark has recognised.
Speaking at a Nike event, Clark recently said: “I feel like we are just scratching the surface on what the W[NBA] and women’s basketball can be.”
