Tyrese Haliburton Debuts PUMA Hali 1 in NBA Finals

The wait is over—Tyrese Haliburton’s first signature shoe, the PUMA Hali 1, officially steps onto the hardwood tonight during Game 1 of the NBA Finals. Designed by Salehe Bembury, the bold debut blends fashion-forward design with elite performance tech. Its sculpted midsole nods to Bembury’s past work with Crocs, while PUMA’s NITRO cushioning and a herringbone outsole promise high-level traction and responsiveness. A layered upper features mesh, a TPU cage, and dual toe overlays for durability, all wrapped in a debut 'Hibiscus' colorway.

This marks a major moment not just for Haliburton, but for PUMA Hoops. The Pacers star left Nike for PUMA in 2024, shortly after Bembury joined the brand with a mandate to find and build with a new signature athlete. After a playoff run filled with clutch highlights, Haliburton’s star has never burned brighter—making this NBA Finals stage the perfect launchpad. The PUMA Hali 1 is set to release this September.
