Crafted to perfection according to Reaves’s precise measurements, the Rigorer AR1 is more than just a sneaker—it’s a work of art. The woven cocoon upper symbolizes Reaves’s continuous development as a player, while the Showtime foam tech outsole ensures maximum energy return and top-notch traction on the court. With TPU plates for lockdown and injury prevention, these sneakers are not only stylish but also performance-driven, reflecting Reaves’s commitment to excellence in both basketball and golf.

In a recent interview, Reaves expressed his gratitude for the opportunity to merge his passions for basketball and golf through his signature sneaker line. The special edition AR1 sneakers feature a color scheme inspired by golf, with green and white tones dominating the design. Details such as an avatar of Reaves golfing on the tongue and a bubble lacing system covered with fake grass add a playful touch to the shoe’s aesthetic.
