When the shoe was unveiled on April 11, it was revealed that the latest Breanna Stewart sneakers included numerous influences in its design, as per Sports Illustrated's Pat Benson. The pink color is inspired by the cherry blossom flowers from Tokyo, Japan. The golden floral design came from Rio, Brazil, while the red carnation blooms are an homage to her wife, Marta Xargay.

Breanna Stewart talked about the vision behind her Puma "Stewie 3" sneakers

Speaking with GQ's Calum Marsh last month, Breanna Stewart shared the new features she wanted on her latest sneakers. Moreover, she highlighted the focus on making sure the shoes were versatile enough for anyone to wear.

"I knew I wanted it to be low," Stewart said. "I wanted it to have cushion around my achilles, because I'd had those injuries. And I wanted it to be a shoe that anyone can wear, whether you're a big or a guard — whatever you do best on the court, I want this shoe to be able to make you feel like you're even better."

It is a tremendous achievement for any professional basketball player to have a steady shoe line with a popular brand that prioritizes the preferences of its athletes; such is the case for Stewart. Following her impressive 2023 season, it was only right that she kickstarted another season with a fresh pair of sneakers.

Last season, Stewart averaged 23.0 points (46.5% shooting, including 35.5% from 3-point range), 9.3 rebounds and 3.8 assists per game.
