PUMA Hoops has teamed up with NBA guard Tyrese Haliburton for the release of the All-Pro NITRO™ Gold Rush PE, a striking player-exclusive version of the brand’s performance-driven basketball sneaker. This edition is fully coated in gold, a nod to Haliburton’s confident presence on the court and his growing influence in the game.
Built for speed and control, the All-Pro NITRO™ features PUMA’s NITRO™ SQD foam, a dual-density cushioning system that enhances responsiveness while maintaining stability. The engineered mesh upper ensures ventilation without sacrificing durability, making it an ideal choice for high-intensity play. A high-abrasion rubber outsole delivers exceptional grip for quick directional changes, while the cord lock-down lacing system extends to the midsole for added lateral support.
Tyrese Haliburton’s partnership with PUMA began in October 2024, when the NBA All-Star signed a multi-year endorsement deal with the brand, joining its expanding roster of elite basketball athletes. Haliburton has since been a key figure in PUMA Hoops, frequently wearing the All-Pro NITRO sneakers during games. His involvement goes beyond on-court representation – he played a role in PUMA’s first global basketball campaign and starred in a debut advertisement filmed in a historic Indiana basketball venue, featuring his father.
The All-Pro NITRO™ Gold Rush PE was released on February 11, 2025, just ahead of the NBA All-Star Weekend. Designed in collaboration with Haliburton, the sneakers made their on-court debut that same night when the Indiana Pacers faced the New York Knicks. Haliburton donned the gold-infused sneakers during the game, contributing 16 points and eight assists, though the Pacers fell to the Knicks with a final score of 128-115.
This player-exclusive edition reflects Haliburton’s evolving role as a leader, both on and off the court. The gold colorway adds a distinctive touch, reinforcing his unique style and confidence. Designed for elite performance, the sneaker balances aesthetics with functionality, giving athletes an edge in both speed and agility.
The All-Pro NITRO™ Gold Rush PE is available at PUMA.com and Footlocker.com, priced at $140.
