WNBA Star Rickea Jackson Talks New Partnership and Her Pregame Outfits [Exclusive] originally appeared on Athlon Sports.

Los Angeles Sparks forward Rickea Jackson is one of the brightest young stars in the WNBA today. Drafted fourth overall as part of the legendary 2024 draft class that also featured Caitlin Clark, Angel Reese and Cameron Brink, Jackson quickly established herself as a true star in the pros.

Jackson finished her first year in the WNBA as part of the All-Rookie Team, and she has since picked up where she left off in her second season. The 24-year-old has been an integral part of a Sparks team that is looking to contend for the playoffs.

Aside from her work on the court, however, Jackson has also thrived off it. Ever since arriving in the WNBA, she has made a name for herself as a style icon. Her pregame outfits often go viral, which was evident during the 2025 All-Star weekend when fans raved about her various wardrobe choices.

Rickea Jackson Combines Her Favorite Snack Brand With Fashion

Recently, Jackson took a big new step as she continues to cement her status as the WNBA's most fashionable player.

The Sparks rising star — who grew up eating Cheez-It (her favorite flavor as a child was Cheddar Jack, but she now prefers Extra Toasty) and still consumes the snack before games — announced her partnership with the snack brand and their collaboration on a Cheez-It-inspired outfit.

Jackson, Cheez-It and stylist Brittany Hampton came up with a gender-neutral outfit called the "Cheez-Fitz." The outfit featured a red and orange windbreaker, highlighted by a checkered Cheez-It pattern on the upper sleeves. It included a yellow cross-body bag to complete the look.

The windbreaker was paired with matching pants that feature scalloped edges. What Jackson liked the most about the look, however, were the protective pockets where she can keep her snacks.

"One of my favorite features is the protective crunch-proof pocket," Jackson shared in an exclusive interview with Athlon Sports. "It can keep my snacks and things if I'm ever craving something in that pocket. Very food-friendly."

It's also worth noting that Jackson purposely made the pants longer. After all, she's 6-foot-2 and likes her pants to drag.

"The only thing I told her [Hampton] is if I'm wearing pants, I just need them to be too long," Jackson shared. "I am 6'2", long legs, so I like for my bottoms to be almost dragging on the floor ... heels and all."

Sparks Star Keeps It Real on Her Pregame Outfits, What She Wants to Wear Next

With her Cheez-It collaboration, Jackson made it clear she's not afraid to try out new stuff when it comes to fashion and her pregame outfits. That being said, however, the Sparks youngster has one thing in mind when it comes to choosing her attire: it should reflect her authentic self.

"No matter what it is, just making sure this fits me. This is what I don't mind representing. This is what my brand is," Jackson said when we asked about her inspiration for her outfits. She added that there have been times when she "had to turn down an outfit" because it didn't align with her and what she represents.

"So I would just have to say, just again, being true to who you are. And then I would have to say just basketball fashion. Like you said, being iconic, being different, not being afraid to step out the box," Jackson added on her mindset when it comes to her fashion game.

"But again, just having fun with it. I feel like style is subjective. It's not, again, one-dimensional."

As for an outfit she wants to try next, Jackson admitted that she's considering baggy clothes.

"I feel like the style that I have not tried yet would probably be like an all-baggy look," the former Tennessee star stated. "I'm very much fitted and skirt and legging tights and things of that nature. So I'll have to say probably more masculine looks, if you would say."
