Reebok turns Angel Reese 1 neon green for Poison Angel drop

Reebok’s Angel Reese 1 just turned electric, with the new Poison Angel colorway arriving in an all-neon green build, molded TPU panels and fire-red branding accents that make the shoe look more like a statement piece than a quiet team color. DICK’S Sporting Goods listed the Reebok Angel Reese 1 “Poison Angel” Basketball Shoes at $139.99, putting the pair squarely in signature-sneaker territory rather than novelty drop territory.

The performance pitch is still there. Reebok says the Angel Reese 1 was designed in full collaboration with Angel Reese and built with a molded TPU upper, plus ERS technology with nitrogen-infused SuperFloat foam. That matters because the shoe does not survive on color alone; the shell, the structure and the cushioning give the silhouette enough substance to stand beside the story. Reebok’s homepage is pushing the model as the “ANGEL REESE 1 POISON ANGEL” and backs it with the line, “Just when you thought your game couldn't get bolder. An all-new AR1 is here.”

Still, the most effective part of the launch is not technical. It is the way Reese has made the shoe feel personal before the broader market even gets to it. She had already teased the Poison Angel look in a pregame tunnel walk, which gave the colorway the kind of off-court momentum that sneaker brands usually spend months trying to manufacture. The name itself stretches back to the Poison Ivy Halloween costume that helped shape the visual identity, and Reebok has smartly turned that into a sellable narrative instead of treating it like a one-off fashion stunt.

That approach has been building for a while. Reebok and Reese first unveiled Reebok by Angel on August 8, 2024, as a performance and lifestyle collection inspired by her style on and off the court. Reebok later set the release date for the first-ever Angel Reese 1 signature shoe on August 14, 2025, framing it as a key part of the brand’s return to performance basketball. The Poison Angel drop now reads like the latest chapter in that comeback, with Reese cast not just as an athlete, but as the line’s most important design language.

DICK’S already shows how quickly Reebok is widening the franchise. Alongside Poison Angel, the retailer lists Hero Ball at $134.99, Gala Green at $129.99, Unapologetically Angel at $139.99, Navy Halo at $129.99, Rose Dust at $129.99 and a discounted Midnight Diamond Dust at $68.82. That range tells the story: in women’s basketball sneakers, the winning formula is not only performance spec but character, and Reese’s is strong enough to carry a whole rack of colorways.
