Salehe Bembury continues to expand his design language through the PUMA Hali 1 “Grey,” giving Tyrese Haliburton’s debut signature model a stripped-back yet sculptural refresh. Known for blending organic inspiration with technical form, Bembury here opts for understatement, an exploration of tone, material, and negative space rather than loud colour. The mesh upper breathes softly beneath layered moulded panels, all rendered in muted greys that transition gently across the shoe.
The standout element remains the midsole: a wavy, sculpted structure in crisp white that subtly references Bembury’s fingerprint-like textures from previous projects. This foundation not only provides stability and cushioning for on-court movement but also gives the trainer a lifestyle-ready aesthetic that suits both street and sport. A minimalist heel tab, discreet branding, and micro-perforated detailing reinforce that theme of effortless utility.
While the Hali 1 is built for Tyrese Haliburton’s fast, flexible style of play, Bembury’s treatment positions it equally as a piece of wearable design. The interplay between texture and tone lends the shoe a calming tactility, less performance gear, more sculptural object.
