Los Angeles Lakers guard Austin Reaves is ready to make another leap following his fourth year in the NBA. He's always made a name for himself on the court, working his way up to being an integral piece on a championship caliber team. In year five, Reaves is locked-in on his goals and ultimately working towards a contract year following this season. His killer mentality will only be amplified as he steps onto the court in his newest “Snake Eyes” Rigorer AR 2.

Reaves first joined Rigorer back in 2022 as their first NBA athlete, ultimately opening the door for him to build his own empire around his signature brand. The debut AR 1 was released in 2023 and Reaves hopped on as a shareholder in the brand following his initial deal. The Rigorer AR 2 was released in December 2024 as a successful follow-up to the AR 1.

Already releasing in numerous colorways, the Rigorer AR 2 adheres to the common theme of the butterfly and Reaves' metamorphosis into a top NBA talent. This latest release draws inspiration from the “Black Mamba” Kobe Bryant and Reaves' mamba mentality heading into this season.
