Lakers’ Butterfly Shoes Soar to New Heights…

Lakers’ rising star Austin Reaves is giving us all wings with the release of his signature Rigorer AR2 ‘Monarch’ shoe. Inspired by his favorite flying critter, the monarch butterfly, these kicks are as vibrant and attention-grabbing as their insects’ muse. Released on March 29, 2025, they’re sure to fly off the virtual shelves of KICKSCREW.COM and Rigorer.com faster than you can say metamorphosis! Priced at just $100, these sneakers aren’t just footwear—they’re art for your feet.

They’ve got more tech than a spaceship with a woven butterfly wing upper, energetic foam midsoles, and lateral TPU panels designed to keep even the most energetic hoopers secure. You’re basically strapping butterfly wings to your feet instead of shoes. If these sneakers don’t make you fly on the court, at least you’ll look fly trying!

Meanwhile, Reaves, with his eyes set on the playoffs, is all about ensuring the Lakers keep up their winning ways. Reflecting on a bumpy game against the Bulls, he’s confident the Lakers’ chemistry experiment will soon be perfected just in time for the postseason. With Austin’s magic on and off the court, these sneakers might just be the luck they need to spread their wings and soar! Time to rock those Monarchs, Lakers fans!
