NBA star Austin Reaves and performance footwear brand Rigorer have revealed a brand new colorway from the AR1 line titled 'Hillbilly Bogey.' From its beginning, the AR line has been a canvas for Austin to tell his life story through the design of his shoes. Every release has been putting out another chapter in his journey - they are capturing moments and retelling stories that make up who Austin is. The 'Hillbilly Bogey' colorway goes further into this idea by mixing both the basketball and golfing passions of Austin into an exciting new release that will take place exclusively on KICKS CREW.
Austin Reaves' excitement for the release is clear, showing his strong bond with basketball and golf. "The Rigorer design team has let me use the AR1 as a canvas to share my journey and life, and now we are combining two of my passions. I’ve been playing golf my whole life, and to be able to combine it with my signature basketball shoe means everything to me," said Reaves when discussing his new release.
Austin Reaves, who has played golf his whole life, has discovered a way to combine his two interests in the AR1 'Hillbilly Bogey.' This limited release is dedicated to his passion for both sports. The design of the shoe is a tribute to Austin's alter ego on greens, "Hillbilly Bogey." The green shades on a white canvas are similar to those found in a typical golf course, while the bubble lacing system is decorated with fake grass that gives it a fun look.
The AR1 'Hillbilly Bogey' is the eighth release from the AR1 signature line and shows Rigorer's continued dedication to sharing Austin's stories and passions. The shoe features an embroidery of Austin's Hillbilly Bogey avatar on the golf course. This gives real-life expression to his love for the game and makes whoever wears it feel like they are joining him in his adventure. The release also comes with a specially designed box featuring more golf detailing.
The Rigorer AR1 ‘Hillbilly Bogey’ will be released at 11 AM ET / 8 AM PT on May 18th, 2024, exclusively on KICKSCREW.COM and RIGORER.COM for $100 USD. Fans can sign up on the AR1 Event Page for a chance to win 1 of 5 free pairs.
