FAQs
What makes the 'Showtime' colorway special?
The 'Showtime' colorway is inspired by the iconic Los Angeles Lakers franchise and pays tribute to their legendary "Showtime" era, representing Austin Reaves' ambition to help restore that legacy.
How breathable is the woven cocoon-inspired upper?
The upper is designed with breathability as a key feature to help keep feet cool during intense physical activity, allowing for better air circulation.
Are these trainers suitable for outdoor basketball?
These trainers are primarily designed for indoor basketball performance. While durable, the outsole may wear faster on abrasive outdoor surfaces, and traction might be optimized for indoor courts.
What is the benefit of the cocoon-inspired upper material?
The material is engineered to offer both excellent breathability and a secure, supportive lockdown fit, which is essential for stability and agility during basketball movements.
How should I clean my Rigorer AR1 'Showtime' trainers?
Gently wipe the upper with a damp cloth and use a soft brush for the sole. Avoid harsh chemicals and allow them to air dry naturally. Do not use direct heat for drying.
What does 'AR1' signify in the product name?
AR1 refers to the first iteration of Austin Reaves' signature shoe line with Rigorer. The 'Showtime' is his third release within this signature line.
What size does this specific product guide refer to?
This guide specifically details the Rigorer AR1 'Showtime' trainers in White/Purple, UK Size 7.
Troubleshooting
Shoe feels too tight or restrictive.
The woven upper may require a break-in period. Wear the shoes for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time. Ensure the laces are not tied excessively tight.
Feet feel warm or sweaty during play.
While designed for breathability, intense activity can still generate heat. Ensure you are wearing appropriate athletic socks. After play, allow the shoes to air out completely before storing.
Traction seems reduced on certain surfaces.
Clean the outsole regularly to remove dust and debris that can accumulate in the tread. Ensure the playing surface is clean and dry. These shoes are optimized for indoor courts.
Color transfer from the purple accents to socks.
Initial wear, especially in humid conditions or with heavy sweating, might cause minor color transfer. This should reduce as the shoes are used more and after a proper cleaning.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Compatibility: These trainers are primarily designed for playing basketball on indoor courts. While they offer good traction and support, they may not be suitable for outdoor court surfaces or other athletic activities requiring different types of sole support.
Care: To maintain the quality and appearance of your AR1 'Showtime' trainers:
- Cleaning the Upper: Gently wipe the woven upper with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the material.
