Angel Reese and Olandria Carthen: A Dynamic Duo

Angel Reese has just sent shockwaves through the internet by teasing a new collaboration with "Love Island USA" star Olandria Carthen. Both of these powerhouse women have enjoyed massive success this year. Reese recently wrapped up her second WNBA season with flair and saw her first signature shoe fly off the shelves. Meanwhile, Carthen captured hearts as a fan favorite on the explosive seventh season of the Peacock dating show.

The buzz around their collaboration started about a month ago when Reese and Carthen first connected publicly on X, formerly known as Twitter. Their initial interaction sparked excitement among their fan bases, setting the stage for this much-anticipated team-up.

“Bayou Barbie... Bama Barbie. Cooking up something GOOD together. Stay tuned, y'all, MORE TO COME.”

The Big Reveal: Reese and Carthen's Social Media Tease

The collaboration was officially teased on Instagram, where Reese and Carthen shared a joint post. In the video, Carthen opens a lavish press kit from Reebok, featuring Reese's new signature shoe, the Angel Reese 1. Carthen couldn't hide her excitement, exclaiming over the "Diamond Dust" colorway and revealing her love for the pink "Mebounds" version.

Reese's caption, "Bayou Barbie ... Bama Barbie. Cooking up something GOOD together. Stay tuned, y'all, MORE TO COME," left fans eager for more. Social media lit up with comments from fans and fellow celebrities, all thrilled about the impending collaboration.

Fans and Celebs React: The Buzz Continues

The excitement didn't stop there. Fans and celebrities alike took to social media to express their enthusiasm. Carthen herself commented, "My fav barbie. So proud of you! Such an icon." Others chimed in with comments like "The collab we didn't know we needed" and "Didn't know I needed this crossover. Bayou Barbie x Bama Barbie."

Even "Love Island" stars Jeremiah Brown and Nicolas Vansteenberghe joined the conversation, with Brown humorously noting, "JUS ORDERED 7, ONE FOR EACH DAY OF THE WEEK," and Vansteenberghe adding, "Let’s get some runs in."

Angel Reese's Signature Shoe: A Sellout Success

Adding to the excitement is the fact that Reese's signature shoe sold out almost instantly on Reebok.com. Describing her sneaker as her "stamp on the game," Reese's fans showed up in droves, snapping up all three colorways within minutes of their release.

Reese expressed her gratitude in a heartfelt video, thanking her fans for their overwhelming support. "I'm just so full of gratitude because y'all did not have to show that much love to me... it's crazy. So, I'm just grateful and thankful for you guys," she shared.

What's Next: More Colorways on the Horizon

For those who missed out on the initial release, fear not! Reese has promised more colorways of the Angel Reese 1 in the coming weeks. In October, fans can look forward to the "Charm City" purple and black, "Tiago" all-brown, and "Giving Grace" all-grey designs. Reese describes the latter as a reflection of her personal journey, symbolizing strength, courage, and kindness.

As Reese and Carthen continue to make waves in their respective fields, their upcoming collaboration promises to be nothing short of spectacular. Stay tuned for more updates on this exciting partnership!
