Breanna Stewart is no stranger to making history, but she wishes her upcoming landmark didn’t have to be such a rare feat.
This summer, the former WNBA MVP and two-time champion will become the first woman basketball player in 12 years to release a signature shoe. The last player to hold one of her own was two-time MVP and reigning champion Candace Parker, with her TS Ace Commander released by Adidas in 2010 and Ace Versatility in ’11.
When Stewart signed with Puma in 2021, she was promised that the decades-long gap since the last women’s basketball signature shoe would come to an end.
