Headline: LeBron James Honoured With His Own Ken Doll
Caption: LeBron James Honoured With His Own Ken Doll. LeBron James has been immortalised with his very own Ken doll - making him the first male professional athlete to be honoured by Mattel and its Barbie brand. The firm announced on Wednesday that they have created the doll to recognise the basketball legend's positive impact on culture, style, and community. In advance of the iconic character's 65th anniversary in 2026, the brand is excited to honour Kenbassadors who are inspiring and contributing to a better world for all. ”As a young kid, I was fortunate to have role models who not only inspired me but also showed me what's possible through hard work and dedication,” said LeBron James. “Now, as an adult, I understand how vital it is for young people to have positive figures to look up to.” Reflecting the Los Angeles Lakers star's height, the LeBron Ken doll stands one inch taller than the standard Ken doll in custom, larger packaging. James worked closely with the Barbie team to personalise his doll's outfit which is a custom varsity jacket over the LeBron James Family Foundation's signature We Are Family t-shirt, Nike Terminator High sneakers, Beats headphones, sunglasses, a bum bag, a watch and his perennial 'I Promise' band. The Barbie Signature LeBron James Kenbassadors doll will be available online at Amazon and Mattel Creations for an RRP of £89.99 starting Monday 14 April at 17:00 PM BST.
