Tyrese Haliburton’s first signature shoe has arrived. The NBA star player and PUMA have revealed the first look at the Hali 1 in the bold Hibiscus colorway, designed by Salehe Bembury. According to a press statement, the sleek sneaker merges advanced NITROTM performance technology with lightweight construction and premium craftsmanship.
Hailburton will wear the shoes, marking their on-court debut, on Thursday (June 5) during the opening game of the 2025 championship series, where he and the Indiana Pacers face off against the Oklahoma City Thunder.
According to Andscape, the Hali 1 is the first signature shoe crafted by Bembury, who joined Puma in July 2024 as the brand’s lead basketball designer.
