New York City, NY - Following an In-Season Tournament Championship win and a successful multi-year contract extension with Rigorer, NBA star Austin Reaves will release a new AR1 colorway on global marketplace KICKS CREW for the holiday season.
The new ‘Iceman’ colorway will be priced at $100, and shock dropped exclusively on KICKS CREW on Christmas day.
The Los Angeles Lakers star has had a successful end to his monumental year, from signing a seven-figure extension on his shoe deal to winning the NBA In-Season Tournament. Now, Austin is closing out the year with one final AR1 release for Christmas.
“I'm extremely grateful for this amazing year that I had and wanted to thank all the fans for supporting me throughout everything. This final release for the year is a gift to all my supporters, and I can’t wait to show everyone what we have planned for the new year,” said Austin Reaves when discussing his new release and reflecting on the year.
The AR1 ‘Iceman’ launch will mark the fifth release from Austin’s signature shoe line. This edition features a winter-inspired colorway, combining icy blue hues on a clean white base. Winter-themed detailing is also featured throughout the shoe and can be seen on the heel, insoles, and behind the tongue.
Engineered to excel, the AR1 features the latest performance technology inspired by Rigorer’s journey in basketball.
Key features include:
- Woven Cocoon Upper represents Austin’s continuous growth; the cocoon-inspired upper offers breathability and lockdown support.
- Showtime Foam Tech Midsole encapsulated in an EVA foam. Rigorer’s latest midsole was designed with players like Austin in mind, who prefer a low-court feel while receiving immediate energy return.
- Bubble Lacing System – an innovative and never-before-seen bubble design utilized on the AR1’s tongue, with encapsulated foam “bubbles” to eliminate lace bite for players.
- Anti-Torsion TPU Plate made with a carbon fiber and nylon composition to enhance midfoot stability while performing lateral movements.
- Anti-Slip Sole with an all-new, zone-patterned traction design engineered with anti-slip rubber for the ultimate court grip.
- Front Sidewall TPU panels are utilized on the lateral sides to enhance forefoot lockdown and eliminate foot slippage.
- Heel TPU to enhance heel stability when landing, preventing severe ankle injuries.
- Anti-Skid Heel – an innovative lining within the heel collar to enhance heel lockdown and reduce injury.
