Tyrese Haliburton will return to the court during the 2026-27 NBA season, and he will be doing so in style.

"The Hali 1 PACE embodies a mindset of unwavering self-belief," the press release explained. "It doesn't ignore criticism, it embraces it and turns it into motivation.

The shoe, which was designed by Salehe Bembury, will be available Oct. 23 from Puma's website and app, as well as at Champs and Foot Locker, for $130.
It features nitrogen-infused cushioning, non-slip rubber compound for traction and a midfoot shank for more stability and support.
The timing is notable, as Oct. 23 is the Pacers' home opener against the Dallas Mavericks this season.
It will mark the first time Haliburton is back on the floor for a regular-season game in Indiana since the 2024-25 campaign. He suffered a torn Achilles during Game 7 of the 2025 NBA Finals and missed the entire 2025-26 season as he recovered.
Beloved by Pacers fans, Haliburton led the team to the NBA Finals with a combination of incredible buzzer beaters and comebacks during the 2025 playoffs. They pushed Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and the Oklahoma City Thunder to a decisive seventh game but ultimately fell short after he suffered the injury.
His return figures to make Indiana one of the top contenders in the Eastern Conference once again during the upcoming season, and he will have a new colorway for his signature shoe inspired by the team he represents.
