The PUMA Hali 1 “Black Patent” surfaced courtside this week as Tyrese Haliburton continues shaping the identity of his first signature shoe, even while sidelined. Indiana’s season may have suffered a hit, but Haliburton has provided a commodity off the court for fans to feel good about. His sneaker rollout has embodied the same swag he’s played with, and this newest addition continues the momentum.
This new colorway leans heavily into glossy black patent leather, creating a sleek finish that fits Haliburton’s tunnel aesthetic. Grey accents sit along the midsole, layered over sculpted textures reminiscent of recent PUMA experimental designs. The combination feels bold yet intentional, similar to the modern, high-fashion touches he brings to Media Day fits. The sneaker also carries a nuance of Salehe-esque grooves that gives it an artsy vibe.
Haliburton donned the pair with a matching leather jacket with his logo emblazoned on the back, signifying the Hali 1 is possibly a part of a bigger, personal brand moment.
PUMA hasn’t confirmed a launch window yet, but momentum around the PUMA Hali 1 “Black Patent” suggests a wider release isn’t far away.
