In a very short amount of time, Austin Reaves of the Los Angeles Lakers has become one of the most talked about young stars in the NBA.
Reaves is now a starter for the Lakers and also a fan favorite known for his dogged drive and relentless energy on both ends of the court.
Because of that, he is now starting to make some substantial business deals.
NBACentral, via Nick DePaula, revealed a first look at Reaves’ new signature shoe, the Rigorer AR-1, which will be released this August.

As you can see in the image above, the shoe will be sold in purple and gold, the Lakers’ iconic colors.
Created by the Chinese company Rigorer, the shoes are part of a deal that will earn Reaves seven figures.
This shows just how far his status has risen over the last few years.
He entered the league as an undrafted player with many questions surrounding him.
But he quickly made an impact on the Lakers’ bench and has now become one of their most reliable starters.
During the playoffs, Reaves averaged 16.9 points, 4.4 rebounds, and 4.6 assists on 46.4% from the field and 44.3% from beyond the three-point line.
However, there is a slight chance he has played his last game for the Lakers.
He is a restricted free agent, which means he will probably field many offers from other teams in the weeks ahead.
However, it is expected that the Lakers will match any offer sheet that comes to Reaves.
That means that when next season begins, Reaves will probably be able to wear these shoes on the court and they will still match his jersey.
