The NBA Finals are upon us and the stage is set for an epic showdown between the Oklahoma City Thunder and the Indiana Pacers. While all eyes are on this season’s MVP, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, and his Thunder team, Tyrese Haliburton and the Pacers have proven time and again that they should not be underestimated.
In anticipation of game one tonight, Salehe Bembury, renowned designer and sneaker enthusiast, has revealed Haliburton’s first signature shoe with PUMA, the PUMA Hali 1. This is a full-circle moment for Bembury, who developed a love for sneakers and design through his passion for basketball.
The limited preview of the sneaker showcases a textile upper with small circles repeated throughout. The medial side features a wavy overlay that stretches outwards from the large leaping PUMA logo at the heel. Haliburton’s recently-revealed logo is also present at the tongue, while the sole unit boasts a textured midsole, semi-translucent outsole with an “H” visible, and Nitro cushioning.
The debut colorway for the PUMA Hali 1 is the eye-catching “Hibiscus” look, featuring various shades of pink that are sure to turn heads when Haliburton takes the court during the NBA Finals. Fans can expect to see Haliburton sporting the PUMA Hali 1 throughout the Finals, starting with tonight’s game in Oklahoma City.
