Austin Reaves of the Lakers released the newest “Family Ties” AR1 sneakers.
NEW YORK Guard Austin Reaves of the Los Angeles Lakers is preparing for a strong season in his fourth NBA season as he looks to return his team to its past glory. Off the court, Reaves has been actively promoting his own brand by introducing brand-new colorways of his first signature sneaker collaboration with Rigorer. As his most recent endeavor, Reaves, who also holds a portion of the ownership in the sports company, will unveil his newest pair of Rigorer AR1 “Family Ties” sneakers.
Austin Reaves will soon mark a year since the introduction of his first signature sneaker, the Rigorer, which has garnered enormous acclaim and accolades. Reaves can now include his sneakers into his personal narrative and be creative with them thanks to the brand. This next pair, in the “Family Ties” coloring, pays honor to Reaves’ grandmothers, to whom he attributes all of his accomplishments.
“My family’s raising and the only reason I am in this situation now is because of them. When talking about his newest shoes, Austin Reaves said, “From watching basketball with my grandmas to training with my brother, they believed in me from the start. I am proud to have a release dedicated to them.”
The eighth item in Austin’s signature line to be released is the AR1 “Family Ties.” This limited edition colorway is an eye-catching pattern with an orange foundation and blue and yellow tones combined. Given that orange and blue were his grandmothers’ favorite colors, the shoe is a tribute to them. The back of the tongue also has their names on it, along with images of playing cards, gardening, and their favorite pastimes. When the season resumes, we can’t wait to see these make their on-court debut for the Austin Reaves. The vibrant outfit also goes well with the warmer summer months.
The braided cocoon upper of the Rigorer AR1 represents Reaves’ ongoing development as a player. The shoes also have Rigorer’s Showtime Foam Tech midsole, which offers the best responsiveness and cushioning for cutting and direction changes. The outsole’s rubber tread is among the best available on the market, and the TPU plate guarantees optimum lockdown. Lastly, the tongue’s bubble lacing mechanism makes sure the shoelaces won’t snag on the wearer’s foot. Overall, this colorway for the AR1 series is yet another surefire hit.
In collaboration with KICKS CREW, an international marketplace for sneakers that leverages the brands of the athletes that wear them, the Rigorer AR1 will be introduced. Since the beginning, KICKS CREW has been engaged with Austin Reaves’ sneaker launches, and this one won’t be any different.
