Tyrese Haliburton not only delivered a striking pregame outfit but also made a statement before the highly anticipated showdown between the Indiana Pacers and Oklahoma City Thunder.
As the 2025 NBA Finals kicked off, all eyes were on the two teams' defining moments, especially the Pacers, who made their first Finals appearance in 25 years.
Interestingly, ahead of the matchup, the Oshkosh, Wisconsin native set the tone with his flashy game-day look.
The two-time NBA All-Star is known for his dapper style, mixing luxe and streetwear brands to create a signature look that blended confidence and creativity.
For the Thursday game, Tyrese Haliburton’s outfit featured an all-white, casual yet stylish ensemble consisting of a $152 Carhartt WIP Michigan chore canvas jacket paired with straight-cut denim pants.
The tonal look made the outfit appear sleek, cohesive and effortlessly stylish.
In addition, he completed the look with black leather lace-up boots for a bold and polished finish.
However, instead of carrying a gear bag, he brought with him his first-ever signature shoe, the Puma Hali 1 “Hibiscus.”
The comments section was flooded with fans swooning over the player’s signature kicks.
“The Hali shoes on fire,” one wrote.
“Ty got the shoes in his hand. Man going for 35 tonight,” a second user added.
The post even caught the “White Chicks” star Terry Crews and he commented, “THE SHOES @salehebembury.”
On the other hand, a fan couldn’t help but react to the Pacers point guard’s drip and said, “Hali with the Carhartt on. HE CAME TO WORK.”
Haliburton's signature shoes featured a striking blend of pink and burgundy crafted by renowned American footwear designer Salehe Bembury.
Beyond its tonal colorway, the shoe prominently showcased Bembury’s signature fingerprint motif and an oversized Puma cat logo.

Of course, no signature shoe was complete without the NBA star’s personal logo proudly displayed on the tongue.
According to Sneaker News, the Puma Hali 1 will be released in September via puma.com and PUMA Hoops retail partners.
