Angel Reese appears to make subtle Caitlin Clark dig after announcing Reebok shoe deal

Angel Reese appeared to take a shot at Caitlin Clark‘s Nike shoe deal after announcing her own agreement with Reebok on Thursday.

The Chicago Sky rookie’s first signature shoe set to be launched in 2026 and she joked on social media that the deal means she can now afford to pay her $8,000-a-month rent in Chicago.

But Reese seemingly couldn’t help but make a thinly-veiled dig at Caitlin Clark upon n her ‘Unapologetically Angel’ podcast, where she welcomed NBA legend Shaquille O’Neal – a strategic partner at Reebok – as a guest this week.

Discussing the deal, Reese made a point of saying she chose not to sign with Nike, who Clark has a $28million deal with.

‘It has been the best decision for me, being able to have my own control over everything,’ Reese said. ‘Of course, I could have easily gone to Nike and easily – I even look at other athletes on the women’s side and they sign with brands and they still don’t respect them.’

Speaking earlier in October, Reese said that her $73,439 annual salary at Chicago Sky wasn’t enough to pay her rent and bills.

But she wrote on X on Thursday: ‘God is so good!!(looks like i can “afford” my bills now).’

The 22-year-old also has partnerships including the candy brand Reese’s Pieces, Topps, Beats by Dre and Goldman Sachs.

‘Hating pays my bills, baby. I just hope you know the WNBA don’t pay my bills at all. I don’t even think that pays one of my bills,’ Reese said on Instagram earlier in October, before her Reebok deal. ‘Literally, I’m trying to think of my rent for where I stay at. I’m gonna do the math real quick. I don’t even know my salary.

‘Yo, I’m living beyond my means! No, my rent is more than that. It’s $8,000. I’m living beyond my means.’
