Tyrese Haliburton (Indiana Pacers)

Tyrese Haliburton, the Indiana Pacers point guard, typically favors a classic style, but recently he’s been embracing experimentation. Lately, he’s been pushing boundaries with outerwear, exploring different lengths and textures. A notable instance was on Sunday night, when he confidently sported a double-breasted fall 2022 Prada coat priced at approximately $3,000, paired with what appears to be a Hermès Togo HAC Birkin 40 bag valued at around $12,000.

Despite his experimental outerwear, he maintains a classic touch with subtle denim and timeless shoes. The Prada coat not only adds dimension to his ensemble but also injects personality into his look. Haliburton’s transition from his usual classic style to a more experimental approach reflects his evolving fashion sensibilities.
