"PUMA Hoops and Tyrese Haliburton are officially stepping into the signature sneaker conversation with the debut of the Hali 1: Opal, the Indiana Pacers All-Star guard's first-ever signature basketball shoe. A collaboration years in the making, the Hali 1 represents the perfect blend of Tyrese's smooth playmaking style, PUMA's performance innovation, and Salehe Bembury's forward-thinking design language. Together, they've created a sneaker that doesn't just perform - it tells a story."
"Tyrese Haliburton is one of the league's most exciting guards, known for his unselfish play, efficient scoring, and court vision that seems to slow the game down. His first signature shoe reflects those qualities, delivering a silhouette that feels effortless yet highly intentional. Haliburton envisioned the Hali 1 as a "luxe performance" sneaker - a shoe that merges premium materials and aesthetics with technology that can keep up under NBA-level demands."
"Salehe Bembury's touch is unmistakable. Known for his organic textures and futuristic lines, Bembury transforms the Hali 1 into a piece of wearable art. Amplified PUMA Cat branding, Haliburton's personal logo on the tongue, and sculptural lines across the upper give the shoe its distinct visual identity. It's a design that works equally well under the bright lights of Gainbridge Fieldhouse and in streetwear rotations off the court."
"At its core, the Hali 1 is built to play. PUMA's advanced NITRO™ technology powers the midsole, offering lightweight responsiveness and explosive energy return. The cushioning setup ensures a smooth ride, whether you're slashing to the rim or pulling up from deep. A secure yet flexible fit keeps players locked in, while the outsole traction pattern is designed to handle hard cuts and quick changes of direction - a must for anyone trying to emulate Haliburton's style of play."
Tyrese Haliburton's Hali 1: Opal marks the guard's first signature basketball shoe, pairing his smooth playmaking identity with PUMA performance and Salehe Bembury design. The shoe targets a "luxe performance" approach, blending premium materials and intentional silhouette with on-court durability for NBA-level demands. Visual cues include amplified PUMA Cat branding, Haliburton's logo on the tongue, and sculptural upper lines that translate to both arena and streetwear contexts. PUMA's NITRO™ midsole delivers lightweight responsiveness and explosive energy return, while a secure, flexible fit and a traction-focused outsole support hard cuts, quick direction changes, slashing, and perimeter play.
