PUMA Stewie 3 "City of Love" Basketball Shoes 'Team Royal/Dewdrop'

Breonna Stewart has enjoyed nothing but success on the international stage. Hoping to stretch USA women’s basketball to an absurd 8 straight gold medals after winning the tournament MVP honors the last go-around, she and PUMA Basketball are using the upcoming Paris festivities as a high-profile launch point for her latest signature model, the Stewie 3. That continues with its second-ever colorway, ushering in floral imagery aplenty “City of Love” edition.

Flora has long been a graphic motif on the Stewie line, an narrative representation of her connection to her wife and daughter that’s cropped up on tons of past colorways. Here, an airy application in Parisian blue & white appears via embroidered and debossed detailing. The branching traction pattern of the outsole and translucent TPU structure that stretches from heel to quarter up top both enhance that concept, contrasted by the bold royal hue of the collar, lace stays and medial Puma logo. Though the geographic tie to France is strong on this shoe’s profile, it creates some synergy with the USA national uniforms and presents an eye-catching option for ballers in more everyday wear scenarios.
