The 'Smoke' colorway features a two-toned gray design. A blend of Gray Echo and Feather Gray on the upper creates a smoky aesthetic. Meanwhile, the white midsole and Hali branding complete the smoked-out look.

Haliburton worked closely with streetwear icon Salehe Bembury on the design process of the PUMA Hali 1. The silhouette introduces a striking futuristic aesthetic, where premium design meets elite performance.

In an interview with Complex in October, Haliburton and Bembury agreed that the PUMA Hali 1 was the best signature sneaker in the NBA.

Tech specs for the PUMA Hali 1 include a smooth, dynamic upper that sits atop a full-length NITROFOAM midsole. The advanced nitrogen-infused foam is designed to provide superior responsiveness and cushioning in a lightweight package.

Meanwhile, the TPU midfoot shank adds support and stability. Lastly, the PUMAGRIP high-abrasion tread pattern is applied to the outsole for added traction, with a non-slip rubber compound.

It is safe to say assume PUMA and Haliburton are cooking up more exciting colorways in 2026. Stay locked into Sports Illustrated's Kicks On SI for all your footwear news from the NBA and beyond.
