Austin Reaves has carved out an essential role as a rotation player for the Los Angeles Lakers in his second year since entering the league as an undrafted free agent. His surprise emergence will now go a step further, as the Chinese performance brand Rigorer is giving Reaves his own signature sneaker.
ESPN’s Nick DePaula broke the news Saturday, April 1, and it’s no April Fool’s Day prank. Last year, Reaves became the first NBA player to sign with Rigorer, which was founded in 2014 by a former Chinese Basketball Association player. He’s been playing this season in the Rigorer War-Ender, a shoe that may have caught your attention with the brand’s crosshair logo. This summer, however, Rigorer will release the AR1 as a first signature sneaker for both parties.
