Rigorer Launches the BP1, Brandin Podziemski's First Signature Sneaker, in April 2025

Published April 7, 2025

When he inked a multi-year partnership with Chinese sportswear Rigorer in June 2024, Brandin Podziemski announced he was getting his signature sneaker with the label. Now, his first signature shoe, the Rigorer BP1, is finally set to launch, allowing Brandin to join Los Angeles Lakers star Austin Reaves as the other active NBA athlete with a signature model from the brand.

The Rigorer BP1 arrives in two launch colorways, each telling a unique story from Podziemski’s personal and professional journey. The vibrant Kaleidoscope colorway symbolizes Brandin’s versatile and evolving style of play and showcases his admiration for teammate Steph Curry. Meanwhile, the 1962 edition pays homage to the rich legacy of the Golden State Warriors franchise, highlighting the year the team was founded.

As for the sneaker's construction, we see a breathable mesh upper and forefoot flywire construction that delivers reliable support and a forefoot TPU reinforcement inspired by the iconic Golden Gate Bridge, ensuring stability. Podziemski's signature model is further enhanced by Rigorer's Showtime Foam, offering exceptional comfort and 70% greater energy return than previous models. Rounding out the sneaker's design is a nylon anti-twist plate and Vortex rubber outsole.

"Growing up, every kid wishes to have their own shoe, and being able to finally release my shoe with Rigorer and KICKS CREW is a dream come true,” said Brandin Podziemski. “The Rigorer BP1 is a dedication to that childhood dream and marks a new chapter of my career, which I hope inspires the next generation of hoopers.”

The Rigorer BP1 Kaleidoscope and 1962 will release on April 12, 2025, exclusively through KICKS CREW and Rigorer online. Coming in men’s sizing, the retail price is set at $90.
