Los Angeles Lakers guard Austin Reaves and Chinese sports-wear company Rigorer on Tuesday introduced the Rigorer AR3, the third model in Reaves’ signature line, set to arrive in two distinct colorways later this year.
The AR3 will debut in the Hitman and Apollo versions, continuing a partnership that saw the first two editions sell out on release. KICKS CREW remains the exclusive global launch partner.
Launch details
The sneakers are scheduled to go on sale at 8 a.m. PT on Oct. 4, 2025, exclusively through KICKSCREW.COM. The retail price is $100, with optional performance insoles priced at $45 or bundled with the shoes for $115. Fans who register on the AR3 event page will automatically be entered into a drawing for an autographed pair.
Colorway themes
The Hitman edition features a black-and-white palette intended to reflect Reaves’ emergence as a “one-shot killer” on the court. The Apollo version offers a cosmic design in purple and orange tones meant to symbolize light, precision, and long-range power.
Technical specs
Designed for modern on-court performance, the AR3 includes a wing-inspired upper, a full-length Showtime Foam midsole, and a herringbone rubber outsole engineered for traction.
Player statement
“I couldn’t be more excited to share the AR3 with the world,” Reaves said in the release. “Every detail of this shoe reflects my growth as a player and the journey we’ve been on since the AR1. The AR3 is about entering a new era, one where I want to continue proving myself, inspiring the next generation, and bringing my fans along with me every step of the way.”
Reaves, who posted career-best numbers during the 2024-25 season, has reportedly been the standout performer in offseason workouts, according to new Lakers head coach JJ Redick.
The AR3 extends Reaves’ expanding off-court portfolio while offering Lakers fans and sneaker enthusiasts another opportunity to support the guard’s rising profile.
