"A year ago I said this & now my shoe is sold out 🥺. The tongue is so powerful @Reebokbasketball @Reebok," she wrote.

In the clip, Reese appeared alongside Shaq as she opened up about her love for Reebok, while expressing her desire to help the company reclaim its foothold in the sneaker industry.

"I want Reebok to just be on top, like growing up, everybody always pushed like, 'wear Nike,' and they didn't really push wearing Reebok," Reese said. "I'm just excited. I just want everybody walking down the street in Reebok. I'm telling you all the baddies wear Reebok."

Her comments from a year ago have come full circle with her sneakers flying off shelves on the first day of their release. Reebok itself had suffered these last few decades, but has seen a revival under Shaquille O'Neal's leadership, with Reese in the forefront.
