In partnership with performance footwear brand Rigorer and the globally recognized sneaker marketplace KICKS CREW, NBA star Austin Reaves is set to drop a new colorway of his AR1 sneakers that pays homage to the Los Angeles Lakers history. Following up on the Valentine’s Day colorway, the 17 Rings pair has been revealed.
This collaboration, marking the seventh release in Austin Reaves' signature shoe line, embodies the spirit of the Lakers with a colorway inspired by the team's iconic yellow and purple hues set against a pristine white base. The AR1 17 Rings not only celebrate the Lakers' illustrious championship history but also incorporate elements of the franchise's legacy directly into the design. Inside the tongue, fans will find the championship years listed, while the medial side proudly displays the retired jersey numbers of Lakers legends. KICKS CREW branding graces the heel and tongue, adding a touch of exclusivity, complemented by specially designed packaging that echoes the collaboration's uniqueness.
Designed with performance at its core, the AR1 17 Rings incorporates Rigorer's cutting-edge technology to support athletes' needs on the court. The woven Cocoon Upper offers unmatched breathability and support, reflecting Austin's journey and growth. The Showtime Foam Tech Midsole, encapsulated in EVA foam, ensures a low-court feel with immediate energy return, which is ideal for dynamic play. The innovative Bubble Lacing System, Anti-Torsion TPU Plate, Anti-Slip Sole, Front Sidewall TPU panels, and a stabilizing Heel TPU are all engineered to maximize performance, stability, and safety during the game's most intense moments.
KICKS CREW also utilizes this release for a giveaway titled “The Hunt For The Golden Ticket." With 17 tickets hidden in random boxes, lucky fans can uncover 2 Golden, 5 Purple, and 10 White Tickets, each unlocking a range of exclusive prizes.
