The Stewie 3 is labeled as the City of Love. It is about Stewart’s journey to the Paris Olympics 2024 scheduled to begin in late July and will continue till August. The shoes are being marketed as an inspiration for young guns who are looking to play basketball and achieve as much as Stewart has done in her career.

The shoes in collaboration with PUMA have a light blue color on the front and a mesh of darker blue leaves imprinted on the sneakers. They have been injected with Nitrogen cushioning to have a safe landing while dunking and running without increasing the weight of the shoes. This also helps the consumers to throttle throughout the court at full speed.

The midsole, sock liner, and outsole are made up of synthetics whereas the upper fabric is a mixture of synthetic and textile. They have a breathable mesh that will feet avoid the negatives of sweating. They also have a non-slip rubber sole that will help run from coast to coast without the danger of falling down and thus avoid injury. Hence, the shoes are 100% designed from Stewie’s recommendation to PUMA. They can be purchased from the official PUMA website.
