The Los Angeles Lakers host their annual media day today, and Austin Reaves is using the highly publicized event to debut his third signature basketball shoe with Rigorer: the Rigorer AR3.

"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."
