Barbie released an official Angel Reese doll. The WNBA star got her own signature Barbie, marking the brand’s first Gen Z athlete doll. The doll is decked out in a pink jersey, a leg sleeve just like the one Reese wears, plus layered necklaces, a pink headband, and a pink basketball. The launch coincides with the release of a new colorway of Reese’s signature shoe, the Reebok Angel Reese 1. Reese’s Barbie is meant to represent confidence and style, and inspire young girls to be unapologetically themselves. Mattel has made other moves to meet Gen Z where they are lately, like launching partnerships with Coachella, Erewhon, Edikted, and Dunkin’ Donuts, and one of Gen Z’s most iconic athletes is another no-brainer.
