What does the Angel Reese Barbie doll look like?
According to Yahoo Sports, the figure is a real Barbie doll in a pink basketball uniform with "Angel" on the front and Reese's No. 5. It also includes her signature left-leg sleeve.
License Global reports the doll wears Reebok Angel Reese 1 Basketball Shoes in a Barbie pink colorway, with a matching consumer pair. Yahoo Sports said the doll sells for roughly $38 after Reese announced the release on X.
Why does this Bayou Barbie moment matter now?
Reese earned the "Bayou Barbie" nickname during her final two college seasons at LSU. Yahoo Sports notes the nickname is now a product reality, timed a day before she faces stars including Caitlin Clark and A'ja Wilson in the 2026 WNBA All-Star Game as a reserve.
Mattel framed the honor as celebrating role models. Nathan Baynard, vice president and head of Barbie at Mattel, said Angel Reese helps children see that confidence, ambition, and resilience can open doors, citing her on-court achievements, entrepreneurial leadership, and advocacy for girls.
Reese called the doll a dream come true and said she hopes it reminds girls to be unapologetically themselves and chase their dreams with confidence. Beyond basketball, License Global notes she works through the Angel C. Reese Foundation to expand access to sports, education, and financial literacy for girls and underrepresented communities.
Where can fans buy the doll and Reebok shoes?
The Angel Reese Barbie Signature doll went on sale July 24 in Target stores and online at Target, Walmart, Amazon, and Mattel Shop.

On Aug. 3, the Atlanta Dream hosts Barbie Game Day against the Las Vegas Aces at State Farm Arena, with ticket packages offering co-branded merchandise such as a Barbie Game Day Dream Tie Back Headband, Dream Clear Cross Body Bag, and Angel Reese No. 5 Barbie Game Day x Dream Jersey.
Reese, 24, was drafted by the Chicago Sky in 2024 and traded to the Dream in the offseason.
