What stores sell the rigorer AR 1
AR Media Day Drop: "Every detail of this shoe reflects my growth as a player and the journey we've been on since the AR1. The AR3 is about entering a new era, one where I want to continue proving myself, inspiring the next generation, and bringing my fans along with me every step of the way."

I’m basically just wondering where I can pick these shoes up in person, I’m looking online it doesn’t give me any confirmation. Or is rigorer website the only real place to order them?
Was able to purchase on stockx for under retail. 5’9 somewhat shifty guard.I have played 4 two hour sessions in them so far. It took 3 sessions for them to break in so I recommend hanging in there because once the shoe forms to your feet, chefs kiss. These are a size 11 US men. For context, I wear 11 in adidas, 11.5-12 in Nike. Somewhat flat and more wide than narrow foot. I do prefer a more snug fit.
By far the best feature on these, just like the AR1, is the traction and lockdown. I can stop on a dime even on the dusty rubber court I play on.
There are a couple upgrades the AR1 was missing that I am pumped they improved.
They added a plastic piece on the lateral side of the shoe that goes all way from heel to toe giving you great support when planting, or pushing off or cutting. That piece did rub my pinky toe the wrong way during the break in period, but now that I stuck with it, I don’t even feel it.
The cushion: much improved from the AR1. I enjoy court feel and the 1 had great feel, but the foam was a lot stiffer. Impact protection was fine, but the AR2 somehow kept the great court feel while improving on the cushion and impact protection somehow. I don’t know the exact specs, but it’s obvious to me they changed the cushioning/foam setup. The new foam has much more give and bounce to it, just more comfortable overall.
I’m trying to come up with some negatives so I don’t sound so bias, but performance wise it does everything I want in bball shoe and at a great price. I’m not crazy about the aesthetics but I guess you can’t have it all.
Let me know if you have any questions!
