Puma Hali 1 Review
Pros:
Fantastic traction performance
Support and lockdown work well
Cons:
Budget materials
The midsole is thinner and low to the ground
Performance of the Puma Hali 1:
Tyrese Haliburton, Salehe Bembury, and Puma team up to create a very refreshing debut signature shoe, the Puma Hali 1.
Most reviewers agree that the traction is the shoe's strongest feature. The outsole performed well on clean and dusty courts. Make sure to wipe occasionally.
Puma, once again, uses Nitro foam in the midsole. This time it's not as thick, but it provides solid comfort and impact protection. The forefoot also feels responsive.
The materials are not the highest quality, but they get the job done. The shoe feels lightweight and breathable.
Support and lockdown weren't an issue either. The upper keeps you contained, and the outsole feels balanced.
The Puma Hali 1 might be the best Puma basketball shoe on the market. It does a good job of feeling different while maintaining performance.

If you're on clean courts, this shoe's traction feels phenomenal. However, it is a dust magnet. Wiping is a must.

The shank is sculpted and thick, and the Nitro foam feels dense underfoot. It offers more shock absorption than bounce.
