Welcome to Carbon x Rigorer — Where Performance Meets Purpose

At Carbon, we believe elite sportwear should be as bold and aspirational as the athletes who wear it. That’s why we’re honoured to bring you Rigorer — the performance-driven brand that’s redefining what it means to elevate your game.

Founded in 2014 by former CBA pro Lin Chenyao, Rigorer was built from the hardwood up — conceived by basketball players, for basketball players. Their mission is clear: create uncompromising sports gear that delivers maximum performance, while keeping it accessible to every competitor chasing a dream.

What sets Rigorer apart is not just the tech, but the vision — the belief that every athlete deserves equipment that matches their ambition. That’s why Carbon is proud to supply the full rigour of Rigorer’s lineup:

  • Footwear — featuring signature models built for speed, grip, and explosiveness
  • Apparel — designed for movement, breathability, and style
  • Accessories — from performance socks to training essentials
  • Custom Team Uniforms — your identity, engineered to perform

Rigorer’s ascent is anchored by marquee partnerships with rising and established stars who live the game. Leading the charge is Austin Reaves, whose signature AR line has set new benchmarks in performance footwear. In 2023, he expanded his role from brand ambassador to shareholder, cementing a true partnership built on shared values.

And Rigorer’s momentum keeps building — Brandin Podziemski has recently joined the roster, partnering for his own signature line, solidifying Rigorer’s commitment to nurturing the next generation.

When you choose Carbon to access Rigorer, you're not just getting gear — you're aligning with a brand story steeped in ambition, integrity, and relentless progression. Whether you're stepping onto the court for the first time or chasing leather to finals, consider this your signal: we’re with you every drill, every play, every breakthrough.
