Name: PUMA Hali 1 “Troy Bolton” PE
Colorway: TBC
SKU: TBC
MSRP: TBC
Release Date: TBC
Tyrese Haliburton is channeling East High basketball nostalgia into the PUMA Hali 1, unveiling a Player Exclusive built around Zac Efron’s Troy Bolton, the Wildcats point guard at the center of Disney's High School Musical. The tribute continues a pattern the guard has established with his signature line, using each PE as a window into what he actually cares about.
Haliburton has repeatedly treated the Hali 1 as a canvas for his interests and personality, and the "Troy Bolton" edition keeps that approach intact. Rather than a straightforward colorway, the shoe leans on a specific piece of 2000s pop culture that resonated well beyond the basketball court. High School Musical premiered on Disney Channel in 2006 and became a cultural phenomenon that turned a fictional high school hoops star into a household name for a generation, which gives the reference an easy hook for fans who grew up with the franchise.
The design makes the connection legible at a glance. A bold red finish draws directly from the East High Wildcats uniform Bolton wore across the film series, while the clearest nod appears on the tongue, where Troy's No. 14 is printed in white. Tonal mesh and molded panels shape the upper, a large outlined PUMA Cat wraps the heel, and the sculpted midsole shifts from red into orange before meeting a milky translucent outsole.
A release for the PUMA Hali 1 “Troy Bolton” is yet to be confirmed.
