Puma x WNBA, MVP and Champion Breanna Stewart will launch the Stewie 2 Ruby ahead of the 2023 season.—named after her daughter, Ruby, inspired by 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 every day, and I hope to wear the Ruby colorway empowers others to recognize the limitless abilities and spirit within themselves. ” 

Following Stewart’s debut signature shoe in 2022 in collab with Puma, the Stewie 2 Ruby offers the latest technology featuring a PWRTape-supported upper, a midsole with Nitrom-infused foam for responsiveness while remaining lightweight and a high-abrasion outsole tread pattern for traction. A sculptural wraparound heel with flame detailing and Ruby’s birthday on the side complete the silhouette.

A complementing apparel pack of ruby red hoodies, tees, tights, and shorts with allover flame graphics, Breanna Stewart and PUMA branding will launch with the Stewie 2 Ruby sneaker on May 19 in North America on Puma.com, the Puma mobile app, at the Puma NYC Flagship store and select retailers worldwide.
