Ja’s got a new shoe, Shai’s got a new shoe, and Harden’s got a new shoe, so you know the Lakers’ star guard was gonna get it on the action. No, not Luka, we’re talking AR15. The sharp-shooting two guard for the gold and purple is back with Chinese sneaker brand Rigorer for the AR3, Reaves’ third signature shoe.

The Rigorer AR3 picks up where the AR2 left off, with a wing pattern on the upper inspired by Reaves’ butterfly-like ascent into the NBA, the city of angels, and his favorite spot to shoot on the court: deep threes from the wing. The shoe features a full-length foam midsole, a TPU anti-twist plate and heel stabilizer, plus a herringbone outsole for enhanced traction. The AR3 is dropping in two debut colorways: a white “Hitman” colorway with gold and black accents, and a space-themed “Apollo” pair with black structural panels on top of blue and purple galaxy print.

“I couldn’t be more excited to share the AR3 with the world,” Reaves said. “Every detail of this shoe reflects my growth as a player and the journey we’ve been on since the AR1. The AR3 is about entering a new era, one where I want to continue proving myself, inspiring the next generation, and bringing my fans along with me every step of the way.”

The Rigorer AR3 will be released October 4, 2025 exclusively through Kicks Crew. Available in men’s sizing, the retail price is set at $100. For the latest info and drop releases for all your favorite NBA signature shoes, download the Sole Retriever mobile app.
