Haliburton has worn rare and custom Nike shoes throughout the season. But a signature shoe isn't in store just yet.
"I ain't that nice yet, I ain't that nice yet," Haliburton said with a laugh Monday night when asked if he has his own signature shoe after the Kings' 113-106 win over the Dallas Mavericks. "Maybe one day, maybe one day.
"I'm just happy to be partnered with Nike. I've been wearing Nikes my whole life. So it's really cool for me. Kind of like a dream come true, I'm excited about it. Like I said, it's just really cool. I've been wearing them my whole life, so kind of cool they have faith in me and like me enough to make me a part of the brand."
