Breanna Stewart Is Changing The Sneaker Game

Joining eBay as their newest face on International Women’s Day, Stewie brings her life-long love of sneakers and experience as the first WNBA player to have a Puma signature shoe to the forefront. She continues to knock down doors for those looking to follow in her legendary footsteps.

We spoke to Stewart about what it means to pave the way for women in sneaker culture, her experience being the first WNBA player in over a decade to have a signature shoe and plenty more which you can read below.

ONE37pm: You are the first WNBA player in over a decade to have a signature shoe. How do you feel you can pave the way for young women following in your footsteps?

Stewart: I feel my partnership with eBay is paving the way for young women who will continue to have signature shoes after me because it’s going to raise the standard. Air Swoopes are a part of the Trailblazers Collection. From where we started with Sheryl Swoopes to my Stewie 1 that’s coming out this summer, I hope there are so many more W athletes with signature shoes coming, and we want to continue to put pressure on those in the shoe industry to support and get behind women. 

ONE37pm: Is there anybody in the sneaker space that you admire personally?

Stewart: Obviously there are some that are a part of the Trailblazers collection such as Rihanna’s “Velvet Creepers.” Sophia Chang and June Ambrose also have drops with Puma that I love as well. Those are people that I look up to, and I want to continue to be my best for them so that we can all be our best.
