RaKai's first Under Armour sneaker, the Arc 96 "25XX," reportedly releases Oct. 19 for $155

RaKai will release his first signature sneaker with Under Armour on Oct. 19, retailing for $155, according to posts circulating online. The shoe is the RaKai x Under Armour Arc 96 "25XX."

What happened

Sneaker accounts shared a first look at the Arc 96 on Oct. 10 and images of the finished shoe followed on Oct. 11. The pair comes in black and neon green with silver panels, and the "25XX" branding appears on the tongue and heel. Complex Pop Culture also posted that the sneaker is set to drop Oct. 19. Under Armour had not posted an official release listing as of the posts, which cite sneaker outlets for the date and price.

What the internet is saying

Reaction has been mostly positive. Fans called the black and neon green colorway "hard" and said going from streaming to his own signature Under Armour shoe is "a different level of influence." Others were less sure, with one user saying the design "robbed" Balenciaga's Runners and another saying streamers getting shoe deals is "kinda crazy." The release arrives while RaKai is in the middle of the ongoing dispute around Reggie and the Clover Boys, and some supporters have pointed to his Under Armour deal as a sign of how far he has come. These reactions are unverified opinions from X.

What's next

The shoe is scheduled to release Oct. 19 at $155. IRLScene will update when Under Armour posts an official listing.
