Los Angeles Lakers guard Austin Reaves made a splash this season with his breakthrough rookie campaign. Now he’s catching eyes off the court with his sweet new signature sneaker colorway.
Reaves recently unveiled the “Ice Cream” version of his upcoming AR1 shoe with start-up brand Sentinel Fashion. The summery color scheme features a creamy white base accented by drizzles of pink, blue and yellow.
It’s a playful design that matches Reaves’ nickname “Hillbilly Kobe” and his laidback personality. But the kicks still have performance features like a lightweight Foam LT midsole to support his game.
Reaves will debut the icy AR1s during Summer League as he builds off an impressive rookie year. The undrafted Arkansas product averaged 7.3 points in 61 games, earning a rotation role with his gritty defense and three-point shooting.
Off court, the colorful “Ice Cream” AR1s will appeal to Lakers fans and sneakerheads when they release in August. Reaves is cashing in on his rising profile with an accessible player exclusive model to kick off his partnership with Sentinel.
Still just 23 years old, Austin Reaves is appetizing NBA sneaker brands with his skills and charisma. His “Ice Cream” AR1 reflects Reaves bringing a refreshing flavor to the Lakers and finding sweet success in the league and the marketplace.
