Puma has teamed up with WBNA MVP, New York Liberty superstar, freshly minted Olympic gold medalist, and Harry Potter superfan Breanna “Stewie” Stewart for a sinister new spin on her signature Stewie 3 basketball shoe. The new design can rightly be described as “magical” because the Harry Potter x Puma Stewie 3 design is one of the best that we’ve seen on a pop culture sneaker collab in quite some time.ย

Right away you’ll notice Voldermort’s Dark Mark running along the sides. There’s also the Deathly Hallows symbol on the heel along with a Harry Potter logo. To top it all off, there’s an awesome-looking (and no-doubt grippy) floral pattern on the tread.ย
The Harry Potter shoes made their first public appearance on August 20th during the Liberty vs Dallas Wings WNBA game, but your chance to own a pair is happening on September 5th / 6th at 9pm PT โ 12am ET right here at the Puma website priced at $130. They’re also expected to be available at retailers like Foot Lockerย on the launch date.ย
From the official description: “Featuring graphics inspired by the Harry Potter film series, the Stewie 3 Harry Potter is sure to add some magic to your game. Along with its attention-grabbing colorway, the Stewie 3 Harry Potter is engineered for dominance on the court โ featuring a high-abrasion outsole for added grip and a dual-density Profoam+ midsole for targeted cushioning. That means enhanced energy return and stability when driving the lane, pulling up from deep, or crashing the backboard.”
