Dallas Wings star DiJonai Carrington has officially signed a multi-year deal with Reebok as an ambassador and will continue to wear the Engine A, Reebok’s first new basketball sneaker since 2015’s ZPump Rise.

In an Instagram post announcing the partnership, Reebok wrote: “We would like to welcome DiJonai Carrington to the Reebok Basketball family. A San Diego native with a fearless game, DiJonai has been making noise since her college days. As a new member of the Dallas Wings, she brings undeniable energy, toughness, and presence every time she steps on the court. DiJonai’s edge makes her the definition of a Reebok athlete.”

Angel Reese, Lexie Brown are both currently Reebok WNBA athletes

Carrington joins Chicago Sky forward Angel Reese and Seattle Storm guard Lexie Brown as WNBA players on Reebok’s lineup.

In October, Reese agreed to a multiyear contract extension with Reebok, as well as her own signature shoe, which is expected to drop in 2026.

Carrington’s father, former NFL player Darren Carrington, was also a Reebok athlete. The company’s basketball roster is led by Shaquille O’Neal and Allen Iverson.

“I’m excited to continue the family legacy and join the Reebok Basketball roster,” Carrington said in a statement, adding, “Reebok Basketball is officially back, and I can’t wait to bring the energy on court in the new Engine A.”

Reese turned to social media to express her excitement for Carrington’s addition to the lineup, writing on X/Twitter: “Welcome to the family sis!”

DiJonai Carrington is fresh off a breakout season in the WNBA

DiJonai Carrington won Most Improved Player in 2024, made First Team All-Defense, and averaged 12.7 points, 5 rebounds, 1.6 assists, and 1.6 steals per game — all career highs.

In the offseason, she played for Unrivaled, the new professional women’s 3-on-3 basketball league taking place in Miami. She was also traded from the Sun, where she’s spent her entire WNBA career to date, to the Wings, where she’ll reunite with general manager Curt Miller, who was her first coach in the WNBA.

Carrington recently also signed with One Size Beauty, a makeup company that sells the setting spray she currently uses — and one that has become the subject of much speculation.

Carrington’s brand deals continue an offseason that has seen WNBA players continue to rack up endorsements and off-court deals as the league’s popularity continues to grow.
