Performance of the Rigorer AR 1:
Austin Reaves' debut signature shoe, the Rigorer AR 1, delivers big time.
Reviewers agree that traction is the highlight feature. It provides excellent multidirectional coverage, and it performs well on all surfaces.
The cushioning is responsive and quick. There's a bit of bounciness, and the insole feels comfortable, too.
The materials keep the shoe well-ventilated and comfortable. The uppers, in particular, feel supportive.
Combined with the materials, the lacing system and the shoe's base keep you contained and stable.
Overall, the Rigorer AR 1 is an impressive first signature shoe for Austin Reaves with outstanding traction.

The purple colorway with the translucent outsole still has great traction, but dust does hinder performance slightly

A lot of impact protection comes from the thick insole. The foam is low to the ground and responsive.

The upper is screen mesh with heavy use of fuse. It helps add durability and support but has a break-in time. It feels plasticky but softens up as you play.

The shoe felt supportive during play, and I felt secure laterally. Heel lockdown is okay, not the best. There's no heel slippage, though.

The midfoot feels snug because of the foam from the midsole wrapping upwards, but I had no issues with the fit.
