As the NBA season approaches its midpoint, Los Angeles Lakers star Austin Reaves and performance footwear brand Rigorer are set to launch the latest addition to Reaves’ signature shoe collection: the Rigorer AR2 ‘Milky Way.’ This release follows the transformative narrative established with the AR1 model and signifies Reaves’ evolution from a promising rookie to a prominent player in the league. The ‘Milky Way’ colorway is the third iteration of the AR2 lineup, celebrating Reaves’ stellar performances and rising stardom on the court.
The shoe showcases a muted lavender mesh upper, accented by darker purple TPU and butterfly stroke overlays that enhance its overall depth. Blue accents are gracefully integrated into the eyelet, toe box, and logo, resulting in a cohesive color scheme. Additionally, a dark indigo toe complements the design, reminiscent of the celestial wonders of the Milky Way galaxy, adding an ethereal element to this striking release. Fans of Reaves and sneaker enthusiasts alike can look forward to its release on January 11, with availability through retailers such as Rigorer and KICKSCREW.
