PUMA Hali 2 “Thermal Vision” has officially surfaced, giving fans their first look at Tyrese Haliburton’s second signature shoe with the brand. Haliburton debuted the bright, multicolored pair at Pacers media day as he works toward a comeback with the Indiana Pacers for the 2026 to 2027 season, his first full campaign back since tearing his Achilles during the 2025 NBA Finals. The follow up to the Hali 1 keeps a similar low, anatomic shape, but arrives with a more sculpted upper and sole.
The Hali 2 continues a signature line PUMA built around Haliburton after his run to the 2025 NBA Finals with the Pacers. Salehe Bembury designed the original Hali 1, and while some reports suggest he returned for the sequel, PUMA has not confirmed his involvement this time. Haliburton has not played in an NBA game since tearing his Achilles, an injury that sidelined him for all of the 2025 to 2026 season and left Indiana with the second worst record in the league. He now steps back into a reshaped Eastern Conference, with the Knicks defending their title and stars like LeBron James and Kawhi Leonard having moved over from the West. JustFreshKicks has more on Haliburton’s PUMA run, including his Hali 1 “Hibiscus” debut, and tracks every new release on our Sneaker Release Dates hub.
The PUMA Hali 2 “Thermal Vision” Design
In design terms, the Hali 2 doesn’t stray far from the shape of Haliburton’s debut model. The shoe sits low to the ground and keeps the streamlined, anatomic build of the original, though PUMA reworked the upper and sole into a sharper, more sculpted shape for the sequel. The “Thermal Vision” colorway starts with an orangish yellow base and a blue overlay, with mesh underneath the cutouts and bright yellow on the tongue and laces. The midsole carries an orange to yellow gradient from heel to toe, finished with an icy blue outsole.
