Austin Reaves has been making the most out of his selection to represent Team USA at the 2023 FIBA World Cup. As many NBA fans might be aware, Reaves is a young and upcoming star with the Los Angeles Lakers. Due to the success that he saw with his team last season, Austin was selected along with several other NBA stars to represent Team USA.
While being selected doesn’t make him particularly unique, Reaves has used his participation at the FIBA World Cup to promote his special Team USA-themed Rigoere AR 1 signature shoe. With that being said, let us take a closer look and find out more about the details of the shoe.
Austin Reaves introduces Team USA-themed “Stars and Stripes” Rigorer AR 1
One could argue that it is a very smart move for Reaves to use this opportunity to promote a new colorway of this Rigorer AR 1. After all, his fan base has likely grown quite significantly due to a high level of play at an international level.
The Team USA-themed colorway of the Rigorer AR 1 will be called ‘Stars and Stripes’ AR 1 and is expected to be a big hit with the more patriotic NBA fans. After all, the colors of this signature shoe are identical to the White, Blue, and Red that Team USA is known for wearing.
Although most signature shoes are on sale for a long period of time, the ‘Stars and Stripes’ AR 1 is a limited edition colorway and won’t be available for too long. Reports have indicated that only 1000 of them will be produced and sold to the fans who buy them first.
Since Reaves has a growing fan base, especially with the younger generation, these shoes are expected to be sold out within days at best. They are reported to cost around $110 and will be available exclusively at a global shoe retailer called KICKS CREW on September 9, 2023.

It is good to see that the Los Angeles Lakers star is finding a way to profit financially from his Team USA experience. Hopefully, he is able to play well for the team in their semi-final matchup against Team Germany. That will ensure that the ‘Stars and Strips’ Rigorer AR 1 does very well in terms of sales.
