Design Inspiration
It is inspired by butterflies. The upper has delicate embroidery that mimics the veins of butterfly wings. This not only enhances the visual appeal but also ensures good breathability and a snug fit. Meanwhile, it showcases Reaves' growth and tenacity from an undrafted rookie to a key player for the Los Angeles Lakers.
The debut colorway is named "Fusion", featuring a yin-yang theme design. The left and right shoes are paired with pink and green in opposite arrangements. The colors are bold and lively. The shoebox and the matching socks are also specially designed, full of personality.
The midsole adopts the full-length Showtime Foam Tech foam technology. Compared with its predecessor, the energy feedback is increased by 70%, providing excellent cushioning and responsiveness. The full-length torsion-resistant TPU plate enhances the stability and anti-torsion performance of the midfoot. The anti-slip outsole and the outer TPU panel ensure traction and support.
The base material of the upper is engineered mesh fabric, which is lightweight and breathable, keeping the feet dry. Meanwhile, TPU overlays are added to the shoe body to strengthen the stability of the midfoot and heel, enabling the shoes to provide strong support for the feet during intense sports.
The retail price is $120. It will be released on December 7, 2024 through channels such as VJ sneaker and the official website of RIGORER.
