NBA rising star Austin Reaves has announced the launch of his second signature basketball shoe, the Rigorer AR2. Building on the butterfly-inspired narrative of the AR1, this shoe symbolizes Reaves' remarkable transformation from an undrafted rookie to a key player for the Los Angeles Lakers.

The butterfly theme signifies his growth and resilience both on and off the court. Drawing inspiration from the Swallowtail butterfly, the shoe features intricate embroidery on the upper that mimics butterfly wing veins. This design not only enhances visual appeal but also delivers superior breathability and a secure lockdown fit.

The AR2 debuts in the vibrant "Fusion" colorway, featuring a mismatched pink and green palette with reversed left and right pairs. This bold aesthetic reflects Reaves' dynamic court style and is complemented by a specially designed shoebox and performance socks.

Engineered for elite performance, the AR2 incorporates cutting-edge technology. A full-length Showtime Foam Tech midsole offers 70% more energy return than its predecessor, ensuring superior cushioning and responsiveness. The full-length anti-torsion TPU plate enhances midfoot stability and torsional resistance, while the anti-slip sole and lateral TPU panels provide unmatched traction and support.
