NBA star Austin Reaves and performance footwear brand Rigorer are gearing up for the upcoming basketball season with the introduction of a new budget-friendly model to the AR line. The Rigorer AR Battle 2, priced at only $80 USD, marks the most affordable release from Reaves' signature AR line and is set to hit shelves this week.
Reaves, who recently celebrated the first anniversary of his partnership with Rigorer, expressed excitement about the new model. "My partnership with Rigorer has always been centered around delivering high-performing quality products at affordable price points. We succeeded in doing so with the AR1, and now I am thrilled to offer a brand new model at an even lower price to my fans around the world."
Austin’s love for racing inspires the design, with details drawn from the flow of racetracks. The shoe features a High Elastic Upper for a secure, breathable fit, while the Bubble Bounce Midsole offers immediate energy return and all-day comfort. The Nylon Anti-Torsion Plate enhances stability during quick movements, complemented by the TPU Sidewall for added midfoot support. The Rubber Outsole, with its new compound, excels on outdoor courts, providing better durability and traction. These advanced features come together to create a shoe that not only performs exceptionally well but also offers long-lasting quality, making it an excellent choice for athletes seeking high-performance footwear at an affordable price point.
The debut 'Think Pink' colorway of the Rigorer AR Battle 2 pays tribute to Austin Reaves' lifelong passion for basketball, which began in his childhood in Arkansas. Characterized by a predominantly pink design, the shoe incorporates vibrant hues reminiscent of Reaves' love for the game. Mint-green accents add visual appeal throughout the shoe, including on the lateral TPU unit and branding. This colorway not only reflects Reaves' roots but also represents his dedication to basketball, from his early days growing up in Arkansas to his current status as a Los Angeles Lakers star.
The Rigorer AR Battle 2 'Think Pink' will be available starting September 14, 2024, exclusively on KICKSCREW.COM and RIGORER.COM for $80 USD. Fans can join the launch by signing up on the AR Battle 2 Event Page, with participants automatically entered into a giveaway for one of three free pairs.
