Rigorer, in partnership with NBA star Austin Reaves and the global sneaker platform KICKS CREW, is set to release a new AR1 dubbed Hillbilly Bogey. This release marks the latest chapter in Reaves' burgeoning relationship with Rigorer, where the Lakers guard's narratives and passions shape the thematic direction of each shoe. Reaves' love for golf inspires the "Hillbilly Bogey" colorway, cleverly fusing elements of his on-court prowess with his leisurely pursuits on the green, encapsulating his alter ego in golf.
The AR1 Hillbilly Bogey integrates Rigorer's cutting-edge performance technology with aesthetic cues from the golfing world. The shoe sports a refreshing palette of green on a pristine white base, evoking the expansive greens of a golf course. The upper is crafted from a woven cocoon fabric, enhancing breathability while providing a snug fit, mimicking the growth and evolution of Reaves' career.
Uniquely, the bubble lacing system is disguised under a layer of faux grass, enhancing the theme, and includes an embroidery of Austin's avatar in golf attire on the tongue. This model also boasts a Showtime Foam Tech Midsole encapsulated within EVA foam for responsive cushioning and a low-court feel, essential for dynamic in-game movements. Additional features include an anti-torsion TPU plate for lateral stability, an anti-slip sole with zone-patterned traction for superior grip, and strategic TPU panels to bolster forefoot lockdown and heel stability, ensuring peak performance during the most intense movements.
The Rigorer AR1 Hillbilly Bogey will release on May 18, 2024, through KICKS CREW and Rigorer online. Available in men’s sizing, the retail price is set at $100. Download the Sole Retriever mobile app to stay updated on the latest sneaker releases, raffles, and more.
