How to wish someone a 'happy Passover'
Passover is a major religious holiday in Judaism that typically occurs in spring and lasts for eight days.
unbranded - Lifestyle
Both Easter and Passover are right around the corner, and stores are stocking up on egg-shaped chocolates and Charoset ingredients.
Ahead of the two April holidays, Instacart published its 2025 Easter and Passover Report revealing the most popular sweets and meals ordered for celebrations last year.
This includes the 10 treats most likely to appear on Easter baskets this upcoming year, from Kinder's Chocolate Candy Egg to Reese's Peanut Butter Eggs. Fans of the iconic marshmallow candy brand Peeps may find themselves shocked the colorful bunny and chick-shaped treats did not make the top 10 last year.
The grocery delivery service also shared last year's most controversial meals for those who celebrate Passover of Easter. While items like honey baked ham and matzo ball soup were the most purchased for the holidays, an Instacart survey found that a hefty portion of consumers aren't fans.
At the top of the list is the gefilte fish, a traditional Jewish dish made from ground fish served cold with horseradish. While this meal saw a 1,300% increase in Instacart orders last Passover season, about 44% of survey participants said they actually disliked the dish.
Here's what 2025 Instacart report found.

"Just like they wear Jordans everywhere" - Angel Reese talks about the vision for her signature Reebok shoe

"Just like they wear Jordans everywhere" - Angel Reese talks about the vision for her signature Reebok shoe originally appeared on Basketball Network. Boston-based shoe manufacturer Reebok announced that WNBA star Angel Reese's first signature shoe with the brand, dubbed the Reebok Angel Reese 1, will release in stores globally on September 18, 2025. As previously mentioned by Reebok, the shoe is a product of a collaboration between its designers and Reese herself, with the Chicago Sky forward actively involved in its creation from start to finish. The result is a sneaker that is built not only for the grit on the court but also for style off of it. "My personality is me being unapologetically myself—that's what the shoes are as well: unapologetic. The versatility of being able to wear the shoes on and off the court was the most important thing to me. I really wanted to have a shoe that I can wear on the court, but also in the tunnel fits, fashion moments, events, and big things. I have a lot of great friends that also can wear the shoes for their events and music videos, and that's what I thought about too when I started creating the shoe," said Reese in an interview with "Elle." Not just a basketball shoe While the $120 sneaker was built for performance basketball, it has the look of a lifestyle shoe. According to the Reebok website, it uses the brand's patented ERS technology for cushioning and stability, plus their nitrogen-infused SuperFloat foam for shock-absorbing functions. It also has an Exoskeleton upper with molded TPU and cutouts with ventilated mesh panels, which make it lightweight and ideal for everyday use. Add the chic colorways that Reese and Reebok came up with, and you have a shoe that can be worn not just for basketball but for any occasion. "People are going to be wearing Reebok everywhere, just like how they wear Jordans everywhere. I want people to wear the Angel Reese 1s everywhere and just to be a household name, to have no limits on what I can do and what I can accomplish," she influence Of course, nothing beats the Air Jordan shoe as the GOAT of sneakers. The Air Jordan 1, especially, was originally designed for basketball, and it was the first signature shoe of Chicago Bulls legend Michael Jordan. However, its timeless design and comfort make it more known today as an everyday shoe than a basketball one. "The Air Jordan 1 is the most iconic sneaker of all time," said Jordan Geller, a sneaker collector who once operated the ShoeZeum, the world's first sneaker museum. "The white, black, and red shoes are instantly recognizable and are a part of American pop culture. They were an instant hit. One thing about the shoes that makes them so iconic is that they were released in a variety of colors. Before the Air Jordan came out, most basketball shoes were very plain. They were usually white and black, white and navy, or white and gray." But aside from color, Jordan's popularity also took off in the NBA, and he took the Air Jordan along with him. There's no way that Angel Reese's shoe is going to match, much less overtake Jordan. No other shoe will. However, Reebok hopes that Angel's popularity and vision are going to get them back in the sneaker story was originally reported by Basketball Network on Aug 15, 2025, where it first appeared.

Angel Reese's Signature Reebok Shoe Drops Early—Here's Everything You Need to Know

Every item on this page was chosen by an ELLE editor. We may earn commission on some of the items you choose to buy. Angel Reese may only be in her sophomore WNBA season, but she's already making moves like a legend. Until she suffered a back injury in July, which took her out of the season indefinitely, the Chicago Sky power forward was, by all accounts, having an incredible run. She is a two-time WNBA All-Star; the fastest player to reach 600 points and 600 rebounds; the second-youngest in league history to record a triple-double; and she's a rebounding machine, becoming the first player to nab more than 15 in four straight games. Her rebounds, specifically those secured off her own missed shots—or 'mebounds'—became a social media phenomenon after a podcaster used the term. Reese cleverly capitalized on the moment, filing a trademark application and selling merch on her website. On top of all that, Reese announced on July 9 that she would soon be releasing her own signature basketball shoe: the Angel Reese 1. The original plan was for the style to debut next year, but with all the excitement around Reese right now, why wait? Which is why Reebok is bumping up the release: the Angel 1s will now drop on September 18. Reese has been the face of Reebok basketball since the company returned to the sport two years ago, and she is only the second player in WNBA history—and the first in nearly three decades—to have a signature shoe with the brand. (The first was Rebecca Lobo, whose shoe debuted during the league's inaugural 1997 season.) The first drop will include three colorways—white with mother of pearl accents, called 'Diamond Dust,' black and white with red accents, called 'Receipts Ready,' and of course the all-pink 'Mebounds.' The Angel Reese 1s aren't available for pre-order, but you can sign up for a reminder here. Along with the shoe, Reese will also launch a signature apparel collection with Reebok that will pay 'homage to Reese's unapologetic energy and off-court style,' and include graphic tees, sweatshirts and sweatpants, and cropped tanks. Three days before the announcement, we caught up with Reese right after practice—as she was getting her hair done (because, yes, a girl can multitask)—to get the inside scoop on her new shoe, how her tunnel 'fits come together, and the top three things on her bucket list. It's great. It's a blessing. I don't know when the perfect time would be, because so many great things are happening at once all the time for I know fans have been wondering and asking about it. And I know it was supposed to come in 2026, but I thought, Why not now? Why not year two? Why not be able to wear my shoe while I'm playing and striving for great things? Being able to have the support that I have right now with the fans is really important to me, and I'm trying to maximize everything while I can. This is a really important moment for me right now, and I'm really excited for it to launch. Not really, but I do pay attention to signature shoes and the rollouts. Rollouts are the most important thing for me because that's what grabs people's attention. I think A'ja [Wilson] did a really good job with how she rolled out her shoe—obviously it was long overdue—but her rollout was amazing. Yeah she loves and I love pink. I'm glad that hers came out when it did, because my favorite color is pink as well and I didn't want to do the same thing at the same time that she did it. I'm really happy and proud of all the women in the league that have their signature shoes. My personality is me being unapologetically myself—that's what the shoes are as well: unapologetic. The versatility of being able to wear the shoes on and off the court was the most important thing to me. I really wanted to have a shoe that I can wear on the court, but also in the tunnel 'fits, fashion moments, events, and big things. I have a lot of great friends that also can wear the shoes for their events and music videos, and that's what I thought about too when I started creating the shoe. A lot of artists are signed with brands. So I have to be very strategic about what I do, but we have some great people supporting it. The bottom of it—being able to have the 'AR' there was really important to me. I wanted people to see that when you kick your feet up. There are little emojis on the bottom as well. You can see a halo on the side, which was important to me to have because of my name for sure. So yeah, there are some small little nuggets. Each shoe name and color tells a story about something that has happened in my life or my career. Reebok is back! We're bringing back that old-school look, the old-school vibes. People are going to be wearing Reebok everywhere, just like how they wear Jordans everywhere. I want people to wear the Angel Reese 1s everywhere and just to be a household name, to have no limits on what I can do and what I can accomplish. It means everything. If you can see it, you can be it. And being able to be that for the younger generation coming up means everything. I didn't have a lot of that when I was growing up, so now to be one of the people that they can look to and know that they could do great things, is incredible. Being an inspiration is really important—when you see somebody that looks like you, you believe that you can do the same thing. I didn't even know about mebounds until I got on TikTok and people were spamming it in my comments. And then I was like, well, might as well make some money off of it. And we made a lot of money off of it. It's important to maximize the moment, and turn a negative into a positive. We clearly did that. Also, to be able to give some of the money to my foundation for cyberbullying was great. It was like killing two birds with one stone. I do all my 'fits. This season, I have done more myself. Last year, I needed a little bit more guidance, and now I kind of get it. My stylist that I do use, he sends me looks and brands that I could potentially work with. But most of the looks I put together myself with pieces I really like. I'm into a lot of high-end brands, and they send things to me. Or if I buy it myself, it usually pays off because then the brand will send me more stuff. Probably when I debuted my shoes [on July 9, ahead of a game against the Dallas Wings], that was a really fun one for me. Overall I have versatility; sometimes I'll dress really about business—we just have an open shirt, a business shirt, and some slacks and some loafers. Or sometimes, I put on a cute miniskirt or dress. It just depends on my mood. Mine. I can't or AI? Napheesa [Collier], A'ja [Wilson], and Alyssa Thomas. I may as well just say the forwards in the league, I think, are the best players in the league. Houston and Miami. Bring back Houston. I don't really care about records—I just want to win a championship. The two most important goals for me before the end of my career are winning a championship and playing on the Olympic team and winning a gold medal. Probably Kobe Bryant. Love & Basketball. Bavette's. They have a really nice steak. When I got a triple-double. Win a championship, win a gold medal, and for my shoes to sell out.
