If you want to confirm that Breanna Stewart is a millennial, just ask her to name her favorite movie. The WNBA star has touted “Harry Potter” as nearest to her heart, and now she’s getting a collaboration with the franchise on her signature sneaker.
The Puma Stewie 3 “Harry Potter” will release in September with the current Footwear News cover star sorted into the “House of Stewart.” The smokey grey mesh sneaker is flush with iconography from the franchise, including a TPU cage that’s been reshaped into the Dark Mark. As it wraps around to the heel, the overlay also hosts the Deathly Hallows symbol , which sits beneath a gold debossed “HP” logo with a Golden Snitch. A seafoam lightning bolt sits beneath the bottom of the laces to match the tongue’s Stewie logo and the profile Formstrips — as well as the primary color for Stewart’s New York Liberty.
Stewart debuted the sneaker Monday night in the Liberty’s 20-point win over the Dallas Wings. She didn’t need luck to contribute a game-high 26 points to go along with 12 rebounds.
Puma launched the Stewie 3 in the spring ahead of the current WNBA season, and her latest signature sneaker boasts a dual-density Profoam+ midsole for targeted cushioning. The outsole’s traction is provided by a floral-shaped pattern.
In her cover story, which teased a “major” collaboration that would end being Harry Potter, Stewart looked back on her signature shoe debut from 2022. “I was overwhelmed because you got to pick colors, find pieces. Doing that in the middle of a pandemic was difficult because you can’t have your hands on anything,” she said. “But everyone who is part of the creative design team at Puma has been incredible from the jump. And now, I understand how much say and input I have. If I don’t like something, I speak on it and we change it because the collection is a direct reflection of me.”
The Puma Stewie 3 “Harry Potter” will release September 6 through Puma’s website and New York City flagship, as well as select third-party retailers. Pricing is set at $130.
