As the NBA season heats up, Los Angeles Lakers star Austin Reaves and Rigorer are bringing stellar energy to the court with the latest addition to Reaves’ signature sneaker line. Following up on the Snowman and Fusion releases last month, the third colorway of the Rigorer AR2 comes themed after our Milky Way galaxy.
The Milky Way colorway is inspired by the galactic brilliance of the Milky Way galaxy, featuring a bold purple upper with subtle blue accents. This cosmic design mirrors Reaves’ meteoric rise in the NBA, symbolizing his transition from an under-the-radar rookie to a rising star on the Lakers. The sneaker’s woven butterfly wing upper reflects Reaves’ growth and provides optimal breathability and lockdown support.
Additional features include the Full-Length Showtime Foam Tech midsole, which offers 70% more energy return than its predecessor, and the anti-slip sole with TPU wings for enhanced torsional resistance and traction. Engineered for performance, the AR2 Milky Way ensures athletes stay comfortable and secure on the court. Key features such as a full-length anti-torsion TPU Plate, lateral TPU sidewall panels, and an Ortholite insole make it a versatile option for players seeking agility and support during high-intensity play.
The Rigorer AR2 Milky Way will release on January 11, 2025, through KICKS CREW and Rigorer online. The retail price is set at $100 in men's sizing. Download the Sole Retriever mobile app to stay updated on the latest releases, raffles, news, and more in the sneaker and streetwear world.
