FAQs

What is the inspiration behind the 'Showtime' colorway?

The 'Showtime' colorway is a tribute to the Los Angeles Lakers' historic 'Showtime' era and Austin Reaves' ambition to help the franchise recapture that glory.

Are these shoes suitable for other sports besides basketball?

While versatile for training, their design and support features are optimized for the specific demands of basketball. For other sports, dedicated footwear is recommended.

How breathable is the woven upper?

The cocoon-inspired woven upper is designed for maximum breathability, promoting airflow to keep feet cool and comfortable during strenuous activity.

What is the primary benefit of the lockdown support?

The lockdown support ensures your foot remains securely in place, providing stability and preventing unwanted movement during quick cuts, jumps, and changes in direction.

How should I clean these trainers?

Gently clean the woven upper with a soft brush or cloth using mild soap and cool water. Allow them to air dry completely away from heat.

Are there other colorways available in the AR1 series?

The provided information specifically details the 'Showtime' colorway. For other colorway options, please refer to the Rigorer product catalog.

Troubleshooting

Foot discomfort or rubbing

Ensure you have the correct size. Try wearing them with different athletic socks. Allow a short break-in period for the materials to mold to your foot.

Reduced lockdown support over time

Check the lacing system to ensure it's still providing adequate tension. The woven upper is designed for a snug fit; if it feels loose, clean the shoes and verify lacing.

Difficulty cleaning the woven material

Use a dedicated shoe cleaner for woven fabrics or a gentle detergent mixed with water. Apply sparingly with a soft brush and rinse with a damp cloth. Blot dry.
