When OTC Roman Reigns shows up in a WWE ring, everything about him becomes part of the spectacle, even his sneakers. On the recent episode of WWE RAW, the Tribal Chief grabbed attention by wearing a new pair of Air Jordan 12 “Bloodline.” But besides the sneakerheads, it looks like Bronson Reed has his eyes on them too.
The Air Jordan 12 “Bloodline” is set to release on May 23, 2026. With Reigns wearing them on RAW, the shoes are getting more eyes and are connecting wrestling with streetwear culture.
Bronson Reed reacts to Roman Reigns’ sneakers
Reigns wore the unreleased sneakers during an in-ring segment with his cousin Jacob Fatu. The black-and-red design matched his Bloodline character, even though Nike hasn’t officially collaborated with Reigns for the Air Jordan 12 “Bloodline” as his custom-made shoe line.
Now, Bronson Reed has reacted to a post on X that talked about Reigns’ sneakers. He didn’t say anything, just shared a GIF of himself in a suit, removing his sunglasses with a serious look, as if he were targeting something. That small reaction was enough to bring in “Tribal Thief” jokes in the comments. Fans started joking that Reed might be planning to go after Reigns’ sneakers once again.
This connects to a Bloodline storyline from 2025. The whole thing began when Reed and Bron Breakker attacked Reigns and Jey Uso. After the attack, Reed took Reigns’ shoes, leaving him to walk backstage in just socks. It was meant to embarrass him and take away his larger-than-life image.
From there, Reed kept it going. He started collecting Reigns’ sneakers like trophies and even made something called the “Shoelafala,” a new version of Reigns’ Ula Fala made out of stolen sneakers.
Now, about a year later, Reed’s reaction brought back the memories.
