The newest color way of Tyrese Haliburton's first signature shoe — the Hali 1 — will be available for purchase next week.
PUMA Hoops will release the Hali 1 in Hibiscus on Wednesday, Nov. 26.
It's the pink-colored shoe that the Indiana Pacers guard wore in Game 1 of the NBA Finals in Oklahoma City — hitting the game-winning shot. Then he put his pair of PUMAs on the table as he spoke with reporters afterward.
"The secret sauce today was these [shoes]," he said with a big smile.
The Hali 1 retails for $130 and will be available on PUMA.com, at PUMA’s stores in New York City and Las Vegas, and through Foot Locker and Champs Sports.
Haliburton worked with designer Salehe on the shoe. And because he's so into fashion, he gave more input than the average player.
From PUMA: Crafted in a pink hibiscus colorway, Salehe’s unique touch introduces a striking futuristic aesthetic, while premium design meets elite performance, with a smooth, dynamic upper atop a full-length NITROFOAM™ midsole.
Haliburton is proud of the design and final result. Before the season, he hosted a pop-up in event in downtown Indianapolis for Pacers fans to get their hands on the first color way.
