Barbie x Reebok Angel Reese 1: A Collaboration Painted in Pink

The nickname "Bayou Barbie" has followed Angel Reese since her LSU days, and the WNBA star later started calling herself "Reebok Barbie" on Instagram. That storyline is now official, as Mattel has partnered with Reebok to bring a Barbie edition to Reese's first signature shoe, the Angel Reese 1. Her pink-heavy style has already landed her on the cover of Vogue and on the runway at the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show back in October 2025, so Barbie coming knocking isn't much of a surprise.

Design Breakdown: Chalk Pink Purple Colorway

The shoe runs on a Chalk base, with Pink and Purple accents hitting the heel, inner lining, and tongue. The Barbie DNA shows up in subtle ways: a classic Barbie logo tucked behind the tongue, silhouetted with the ponytail shape that mirrors Reese's own signature look, plus a "Barbie" tag in the brand's signature font on the tongue front. It's a smart pairing of a legacy doll brand's identity with a modern performance basketball shoe.

Barbie Signature Doll And Release Details

Alongside the shoe comes a Barbie Signature doll modeled after Reese, dressed in her No. 5 jersey and wearing the exact Barbie x Reebok Angel Reese 1 pair, complete with a pink Barbie-branded basketball. The doll has already hit shelves at Target and is also available online through Target, Walmart, Amazon, and the Mattel Shop, priced at $38.

As for the shoe, the Barbie x Reebok Angel Reese 1 officially drops Monday, August 3, through Reebok.com, Foot Locker, and DICK's Sporting Goods. Retail price is set at $160.
