Rigorer AR2 – Bringing Pro-Level Performance to Your Game

If you’ve been looking for a basketball shoe that delivers elite performance without the premium price tag, the Rigorer AR2 might just be your next game-changer. Designed in collaboration with Los Angeles guard Austin Reaves, the AR2 packs cutting-edge tech into a sleek, stylish package built for players who demand speed, bounce, and stability.

Australians can get their hands on it through CMD Sports, a trusted basketball and sporting goods retailer based right here in Australia.

Unmatched Energy Return with Showtime Cushioning

At the heart of the AR2 is Rigorer’s “Showtime” full-length ETPU midsole. This super-critical foam delivers over 70% energy return, giving you explosive bounce every time you plant, cut, or launch toward the rim. Whether you’re sprinting in transition or elevating for a jumper, the AR2’s cushioning works with you—not against you.

Locked-In Stability for Every Move

Basketball is all about quick changes of direction, and the AR2 has you covered. A full-length TPU torsion plate runs underfoot, keeping your foot stable and supported during sharp cuts. Reinforced TPU overlays along the sides and heel add even more lockdown, so you can attack confidently without worrying about rollover.

Lightweight, Breathable Upper with Signature Detailing

The woven/textile upper isn’t just breathable—it’s built to last. Rigorer incorporates an electro-embroidered butterfly wing pattern, adding style while reinforcing high-stress zones. The mid-top cut gives you a perfect balance between ankle mobility and containment.

Serious Grip Indoors & Out

The outsole uses an aggressive herringbone pattern combined with butterfly-wing edge shaping, giving you multi-directional traction and added rollover protection. It’s perfect for indoor hardwood and can handle light outdoor play if needed.

Who is the AR2 For?

The Rigorer AR-2 is a true all-rounder—ideal for guards and wings who want:

Solid stability for aggressive cuts
Durable traction for confident stops and starts
A signature style that stands out on and off the court
