Puma Hali 1 “Poppy Pink” Launches On November 26th

In messaging throughout the offseason, the Indiana Pacers let the world know that they wouldn’t roll over or take a “gap year” in the absence of their floor general. The injury bug has made it tough to follow up on in the early goings, with Aaron Nesmith, Benedict Mathurin, and a host of rotation players missing action in the opening section. However, another reminder of how close they came to a championship is now on the horizon, as the PUMA Hali 1 “Poppy Pink” gets a firm release date.

The rosy arrangement at hand was famously the first that the public saw of Tyrese’s signature shoe, sported on the NBA Finals court in a game that its wearer would claim in trademark heroic fashion. Though the “Brave Blue” edition that first brought the model to market is arguably the more orthodox edition, the “Poppy Pink” is no doubt closer aligned with the eccentric palette of designer Salehe Bembury and the inventive fashion sense of Tyrese himself.

A delicately shaded body sprays out into purple and vivid pink at its extremes, held down with a fingerprint-like midsole between. Those synthetic overlays in the upper guarantee security for the wearer, while NITROFOAM delivers the pro-level cushioning you’d expect from a product with the All-NBAer’s name.

Again, the PUMA Hali 1 “Poppy Pink” will release on November 26th, retailing for $130 in adult sizing and $110 for GS pairs.  If you’re moved to cop, keep this page within reach for direct pick-up links upon release.
