The arrival of the NBA Finals calls for a special sneaker drop.
As it turns out, Indiana Pacers star Tyrese Haliburton was prepared for this moment, as he and PUMA are officially introducing the Hali 1 in a bold, Hibiscus colorway. Designed by Salehe Bembury, the debut signature sneaker merges the brand's advanced NITRO performance technology with its lightweight construction and premium craftsmanship. The Hali 1 will make its on-court debut this evening, during the opening game of the championship series, and will officially hit stores this September.
In honor of its release, Bembury posted an exclusive look at the shoes via Instagram, captioning the post, "Basketball made me fall in love with sneakers. Sneakers made me fall in love with design. Introducing the Hali 1. Designed by me. Full circle. @tyresehaliburton."

It appears these shoes are so brilliant that even Knicks fans can't resist them.
