PUMA and basketball superstar Breanna Stewart have made waves in the sports world by announcing their latest collaboration: the Stewie 2 Earth. Building upon the success of their previous partnership, this new release aims to inspire athletes and ignite their passion for the game.

The Stewie 2 Earth design draws inspiration from the awe-inspiring elements of nature. The shoe’s outsole embodies the power of fire, wind, and water, reflecting the strength and versatility required to excel on the basketball court. This unique feature sets it apart from other athletic footwear, showcasing a blend of style and functionality.

One of the most exciting aspects of the Stewie 2 Earth is its commitment to sustainability. PUMA and Breanna Stewart have significantly reduced their environmental impact by incorporating at least 20% recycled materials into the shoe’s upper construction. This forward-thinking approach aligns with the growing demand for eco-conscious products in the sporting industry.

In addition to its sustainable qualities, the Stewie 2 Earth was meticulously engineered to enhance performance. The shoe boasts zoned monomesh layers, strategically placed to provide targeted support during high-intensity movements on the court. PWR TAPE support structures offer stability, ensuring players can confidently make quick cuts and agile maneuvers. Meanwhile, a TPU caged form strip adds durability, withstanding the rigors of intense gameplay. The nitro-infused midsole delivers superior cushioning and responsiveness, reducing fatigue and maximizing energy return.

PUMA Hoops and Breanna Stewart worked in close collaboration to create the Stewie 2 as a unisex shoe, empowering both women and men to elevate their game. Through the captivating “Force of Nature” story, this collection aims to inspire the next generation of basketball players to tap into their inner fire, pushing boundaries and reaching new heights of excellence.

The Stewie 1 Reintroduce, Breanna Stewart’s iconic sneaker, is getting a new incarnation from PUMA Hoops.

This new colorway, the third release of Stewie’s signature shoe, has a bespeckled gum sole and an upper that is flecked to resemble the geological formations on Washington State’s magnificent Mount Rainier. It is inspired by glacier rocks. The great forward’s dazzling presence on the court is symbolized by the neon yellow accent that breaks up the otherwise neutral color scheme.

The Stewie 1 Reintroduce, which has a suggested retail price of $120, will go on sale starting on Jan. 16 through PUMA.com, the PUMA mobile app, the PUMA NYC Flagship store, Dick’s Sporting Goods, and other select retailers around the world.

PUMA Hoops Announces Breanna Stewart’s Signature Sneaker ‘The Stewie 1’

Breanna “Stewie” Stewart, WNBA MVP, Olympian, and PUMA brand ambassador, unveiled the upcoming Stewie 1, the first new women’s signature basketball shoe in more than ten years.

The Stewie 1’s Quiet Fire colorway, which features a startling juxtaposition of black and neon yellow, captures Breanna’s fierce-yet-humble attitude. While a North Star-inspired top captures the Forward’s exceptional talent and pays homage to her high school squad, the aggresive flame shaping transforms into the tranquil ripples of water in the midsole, highlighting the dichotomy of Stewie’s game and attitude.

“Working with PUMA to craft the first women’s signature basketball sneaker in the last 12 years was an honor,” said Breanna Stewart. “I hope that this is the first in a legacy of signature sneakers to come for women athletes across all sports and serves as inspiration for all young people that this, along with any achievement, is possible.”

The Stewie 1 provides multi-zoned monomesh layers for targeted support, breathability, and comfort along with NITRO Foam technology for superior responsiveness and cushioning while remaining lightweight, and a Molded Heel Counter for additional stability and lockdown marked with scars to represent Stewie’s two Achilles surgeries.

The newest example of PUMA’s dedication to increasing equality for female athletes is Stewie’s trademark shoe. With legendary Creative Director June Ambrose, the company formally introduced a Women’s Hoops branch in 2021, and they are still making progress in it. Breanna is taking the next step in encouraging a new generation of young athletes to think that having a signature shoe is a possibility, regardless of who you are or where you are from, by releasing the Stewie 1.

This fall, the Stewie 1 and related items will be offered in North America on PUMA.com, at the PUMA NYC Flagship store, and at a few other shops, with prices ranging from $35 to $140.
