With the NBA offseason finally here and the 2024 NBA Draft right around the corner, this is a busy time for athletes as they take some time to rest, make decisions about their future, and expand their personal brands off the court. After being named to the latest NBA All-Rookie team, Golden State Warriors' guard Brandin Podziemski will be next-in-line for his own signature sneaker.
Following a stellar rookie year where he averaged 9.2 PTS, 5.8 REB, 3.7 AST, Brandin Podziemski made his presence felt immediately in situations where he had to start for the Warriors. Taking the next step in his career, Podziemski will join Los Angeles Lakers' star Austin Reaves over at Rigorer where he becomes an ambassador for the brand.
Austin Reaves took a similar path following his rookie season when he became the first major player to sign with Rigorer, a Singapore-based lifestyle and athletic brand. Since his signing, Austin Reaves has already released his first signature sneaker in nine separate colorways and has become the face of the brand.
Brandin Podziemski will effectively follow in Reaves' footsteps, becoming the latest athlete to sign with Rigorer and have his signature sneaker already in the works.
“Growing up, I always dreamed of having my own signature shoes, and seeing the success of Austin Reaves' line convinced me that Rigorer was the right choice,” said Podziemski. “My goal for the upcoming season is to be the best version of myself and help my team win. Having my own shoes with Rigorer's innovative design will help me achieve that.”
The partnership marks a bold stride for Rigorer as they expand their lineup of NBA stars. Knowing what they did for Austin Reaves' signature brand, this will undoubtedly propel Podziemski's career and amplify the brand's presence in the NBA. Rigorer will partner with global sneaker marketplace KICKS CREW to be a key player in helping Podziemski launch his brand and connect with people all around the world.
Rigorer went to great lengths to create a successful debut sneaker for Austin Reaves, so there's no doubt they will pull out all the stops in creating another dynamic model that matches the play-style of Brandin Podziemski. The shoes are still in the works and have yet to be announced, but we should see a signature pair coming very soon for the young star. Be sure to check out KICKS CREW and Rigorer as the exclusive launch partners for the upcoming shoe, debuting in the near future.
