Puma has officially launched the latest chapter in its celebrated Stewie series with the debut of the Stewie 3 "Dawn."
This new release honors WNBA star Breanna Stewart with a design rich in personal and cultural symbolism, showcasing her impressive career and personal life.
The "Dawn" colorway is a vivid homage to key moments and places shaping Stewart's journey. It incorporates fiery hues and delicate floral details that echo her experiences and achievements across the globe. The cherry blossoms, or Sakura, represent Tokyo and the transient beauty of life, reflecting the athlete's resilience and grace under pressure. Meanwhile, golden accents nod to the golden trumpet trees of Rio de Janeiro, symbolizing the pinnacle of athletic achievement with a nod to the Olympic gold medal.
In addition to these global tributes, the shoe also carries a personal touch with red carnation blooms, a nod to Stewart's spouse, Marta, and her connections to Spain. The design is rounded out with blooming seed patterns across the outsole, a heartfelt homage to Stewart’s daughter, Ruby, underscoring her hopes to grow the game of basketball.
Engineered for peak performance, the Stewie 3 features a high-abrasion outsole for superior grip and a dual-density Profoam+ midsole that provides enhanced cushioning and energy return. This makes the shoe ideal for dynamic court action, whether driving to the basket, rebounding, or running full-court.
Set to retail for $125, the Stewie 3 "Dawn" is scheduled for release on May 14, 2024. It will be available through PUMA's official website, the PUMA mobile app, the PUMA NYC Flagship store, and select retailers like Dick’s Sporting Goods and Champs Sports.
