The on-court rivalry between WNBA rookies Angel Reese and Caitlin Clark continues as the Indiana Fever and Chicago Sky go head-to-head for the second time this season.
Angel Reese and Caitlin Clark helped bring an unprecedented amount of attention to women's basketball. Clark was the first player selected in the 2024 WNBA Draft, while the Chicago Sky used the seventh overall pick on Reese. The excitement surrounding the two star players has carried over from college to the professional ranks, and Sunday afternoon will mark the second time Reese and Clark square off in the WNBA.
Meanwhile, Reese is once again bringing some special sneakers with her for the highly anticipated rematch. The Sky forward will be sporting a custom pair of Joker-themed sneakers for the Father's Day matchup with the Fever. The front of the purple, red, and white shoes feature a green Reebok logo. A rendering of the Joker's infamous smile is also painted on the front of the sneakers, and the words 'Ha Ha' are also visible.
Reese inked a name, image, and likeness deal with Reebok last October, and she serves as a brand ambassador for the company. Reese also has a collection of shoes and athletic wear by Reebok. While the message of the custom shoes is unclear, some have speculated that the footwear are another sign that Reese is further embracing playing the villain. 'It all started from the national championship game,' Reese told reporters on June 3. ' I’ve been dealing with this for two years now. Understanding, yeah, negative things have probably been said about me, but honestly, I’ll take that because look where women’s basketball is.
