Tyrese Halliburton x PUMA Hali 1 Officially Unveiled

During the recent NBA Finals, Indiana Pacers star Tyrese Haliburton not only captured attention with his exceptional control and passing, but also with his bold, brightly colored sneakers. Yes, those were his first signature shoe, the PUMA Hali 1 .

Haliburton recently announced on social media that this new signature shoe will be released in several new colorways in 2025, with an official release date in September. Let’s take a look at why this shoe has quickly become a hot topic in the sneaker world, from NBA fame.

PUMA Hali 1: A fusion of “aviator aesthetics” and “street tension”

As Haliburton’s first signature shoe, the PUMA Hali 1 was designed by renowned designer Salehe Bembury . The debut colorway, called “Hibiscus ,” features a vibrant pink hue and a gradient ripple midsole, creating a striking visual impact.

The upper material is made of multi-layered fabric and suede, with an orange lining and a custom Velcro label on the tongue. These elements pay tribute to Haliburton’s flamboyant court style and continue Bembury’s consistent natural inspiration and functional design concept.

Hot discussion on the forum: “The most exciting color combination in history” VS “the victory of innovative aesthetics”

After its official debut, the Hali 1 quickly sparked heated discussion on sneaker communities like PTT and Hupu. Some netizens questioned its “visceral” and “kids-style” design, while many praised it as “eye-catching” and “recognizable.”

Especially after Haliburton himself showed more future color palettes through social media, such as bright pink, lake green, colorful blue and primary color gradient schemes, many shoe fans who were originally on the sidelines began to “really like it”.

On the Hupu forum, one netizen commented: “The shoe shape is not complicated, but the color scheme has a very Salehe vibe. This kind of bold color scheme really needs a player like Haliburton who dares to wear it to make it popular.”

Release Information: EQL lottery, official website release and SNKRS release

According to current information, the PUMA Hali 1 will be released simultaneously through multiple channels, with the detailed schedule as follows:

EQL Lottery Registration : Opens at 8:00 AM PST on August 28, 2025

In-store pickup draw : August 30, 2025, 9:00 AM PST

Official online sale : early September 2025 (specific date to be determined)

Available on Nike SNKRS and designated retailers : Expected to launch globally starting September 28, 2025

Although the media generally predicts that the supply is “relatively abundant”, based on the current community discussion heat and the market scarcity of the first signature shoes, we still need to be prepared for “selling out in seconds at the start.”

Behind the Hali 1: PUMA Enters the New Landscape of Basketball Signature Shoes

PUMA has been making frequent efforts in the field of basketball in recent years, and Haliburton’s signature shoes are not only an important part of the brand’s layout in the point guard market, but also regarded as a model work that combines Salehe Bembury’s personal style with court technology.

This pair of shoes not only incorporates PUMA’s NITRO cushioning technology and lightweight design concept, but also showcases a “player-inspired” custom aesthetic through Haliburton’s personal logo and corrugated upper design.

Conclusion: Can Hali 1 become a trend symbol of the new generation?

From the court to streetwear, the PUMA Hali 1 showcases unprecedented color boldness and design tension. Haliburton, a representative of the new generation of point guards, is known for his daring and showy style, making this shoe a hit among young sneakerheads.
