Austin Reaves Drops Exclusive ‘Iceman’ Sneakers for Christmas

In the wake of clinching an In-Season Tournament Championship and securing a lucrative multi-year contract extension with Rigorer, NBA luminary Austin Reaves is set to unveil a fresh AR1 colorway just in time for the holiday season. 

The much-anticipated ‘Iceman’ edition, priced at $100, will be a surprise release exclusively on the global marketplace KICKS CREW come Christmas Day. Capping off a stellar year, the Los Angeles Lakers star, who recently inked a seven-figure extension on his shoe deal and represented the United States in the FIBA World Cup, concludes the year with this final AR1 release.

This ‘Iceman’ launch marks the fifth iteration from Reaves’ coveted signature shoe line, showcasing a winter-inspired design with icy blue tones on a pristine white backdrop. Winter-themed accents adorn the shoe, visible on the heel, insoles, and behind the tongue. Here’s everything fans and athletes need to know about these frosty hoop shoes.

Rigorer AR1 ‘Iceman’ – Engineered Excellence

Crafted for optimal performance, the AR1 boasts cutting-edge technology inspired by Rigorer’s basketball journey. The Woven Cocoon Upper mirrors Reaves’ ongoing evolution, providing breathability and steadfast lockdown support.

Impact protection takes center stage with the Showtime Foam Tech Midsole, encapsulated in EVA foam. Tailored for players like Austin who favor a low-court feel with instant energy return. The Bubble Lacing system introduces an innovative design on the AR1’s tongue, featuring encapsulated foam “bubbles” to eliminate lace bite for players.

Front Sidewall TPU panels on the lateral sides enhance forefoot lockdown, eradicating foot slippage. The heel TPU augments stability during landings, averting severe ankle injuries. An anti-skid heel incorporates an innovative lining within the heel collar, elevating heel lockdown and reducing injury risks.
