PUMA HOOPS AND BREANNA STEWART LAUNCH THE STEWIE 2 RUBY

Global sports brand PUMA and WNBA MVP and Champion Breanna Stewart are launching the Stewie 2 ahead of 2023 season.

Inspired by the elements of nature, the Stewie 2 outsole embodies fire, wind, and water to represent Stewie’s ability to be a force of nature both on and off the court.

 

In creating her second signature shoe with PUMA, Stewie celebrates the different areas of her life that drive her to be a force of nature. The debut colorway, Stewie 2 Ruby is named after Stewart’s daughter and is inspired by the grounding strength of motherhood.

“As I began creating my second signature shoe with PUMA, I knew I wanted to name it after my daughter, Ruby. Not only to symbolize the incredible bond I share with my daughter, but also to pay homage to the unwavering strength and resilience of mothers everywhere,“ said Stewart. “Being a mother inspires me to be the best version of myself everyday, and I hope wearing the Ruby colorway empowers others to recognize the limitless abilities and spirit within themselves.“ 

Following the momentum of Stewie’s debut signature shoe in 2022, the Stewie 2 provides the latest PUMA technology for all athletes to perform at the highest level. The performance hoops shoe features a PWRTAPE supported upper for durability and support when cutting and jumping, the midsole consists of a NITROTM -infused foam for superior responsiveness and comfort while remaining lightweight, and a high-abrasion outsole tread pattern for traction, ideal for quick cuts and spot up jumpers. A sculptural wraparound heel with flame detailing and Ruby’s birthday at the side complete this powerful silhouette for the hardwood and beyond.

A complementing apparel pack consisting of vibrant ruby red hoodies, tees, tights and shorts with allover flame graphics and Breanna Stewart and PUMA branding will launch alongside the Stewie 2 Ruby.

Find the fire within yourself in the new Stewie 2 Ruby and accompanying apparel available May 19 in North America on PUMA.com, the PUMA mobile app, at the PUMA NYC Flagship store and select retailers worldwide.
