As the NBA season approaches its midway point and excitement builds for All-Star Weekend 2025, athletes and brands from across the globe are gearing up to drop some thematic sneakers. Outside of the All-Star festivities, brands are also prepping Valentine’s Day sneakers, including LA Lakers star Austin Reaves’ signature sneaker with Rigorer, the Rigorer AR2.
Since first partnering with Rigorer in March 2023, Reaves has quickly become a prominent figure in the basketball sneaker market, launching his first signature shoe, the AR1, to instant sellout success. December 2024 saw the debut of the AR2, a refined sequel that builds on the performance and storytelling of its predecessor. Given that the Valentine’s Day colorway of the AR1 was the best-selling sneaker in Reaves' signature line, expectations are high for this latest installment.
