Tyrese Haliburton’s Puma Hali 1 are inspired by Zac Efron’s High School Musical
Before the start of the new season, Haliburton has already made his fans happy by marrying Jade Jones after dating for seven years.
Haliburton has now unveiled his first-ever signature shoes with Puma and he was clearly inspired by his sweet love story with Jones.
The sneakers will be called Puma Hali 1 ‘Troy Bolton’ PE as they are clearly inspired from Zac Efron’s High School Musical.
Considering this was the first movie that the couple ever watched together, it’ll always hold a special place in the hearts of the Haliburtons.
As of now, the new signature shoe does not have an official release date, but fans can expect the Pacers star to don them during the regular season.
