Basketball fans and sneakerheads, here’s big news you don’t want to miss! PUMA Hoops has teamed up with Indiana Pacers All-Star Tyrese Haliburton to release his first-ever signature basketball shoe—the Hali 1, starting with its debut colorway, Opal.
The shoe, which merges elite performance tech with bold, fashion-forward design, is the result of a unique collaboration between Haliburton and world-renowned footwear designer Salehe Bembury.
The Story Behind the Hali 1
Haliburton, known for his flashy playmaking and confident presence on the court, wanted a shoe that would capture his mantra of “luxe performance.” To bring his vision to life, Bembury infused his futuristic aesthetic into the design, creating a sneaker that’s as eye-catching as it is functional.
The Hali 1 silhouette reflects the smoothness of Haliburton’s game, featuring:
- Advanced NITRO™ performance cushioning for responsiveness and comfort
- Amplified PUMA Cat branding and Tyrese’s personal logo on the tongue
- Signature Salehe Bembury textures and design lines that give it a distinctive look both on and off the hardwood
The result? A basketball shoe that doubles as a lifestyle statement.
A Sneaker Launch Like No Other
To celebrate the launch, PUMA and Bembury introduced the Hali Mart campaign—an immersive, grocery-inspired pop-up event that perfectly matched Haliburton’s fun and vibrant personality. The first pop-up took place in Indianapolis on September 25, with Tyrese and Salehe personally attending.
Only 317 pairs of the Hali 1 “Opal” were released during the event, a clever nod to Indy’s 317 area code, making the first drop even more special for local fans.
Where to Get the Hali 1 in the Philippines
The PUMA Hali 1 “Opal” is now available in PUMA stores across the Philippines at ₱7,900, with a wider release at Foot Locker coming soon.
Whether you’re hitting the court or looking to make a streetwear statement, the Hali 1 is designed for those who want to play—and live—with the same fearless confidence as Tyrese Haliburton.
For Filipinos who live and breathe basketball, the Hali 1 is more than just a sneaker—it’s a cultural moment. It’s the perfect blend of performance innovation and lifestyle appeal, and at its price point, it’s a must-have for serious players and collectors alike.
