Puma Stewie 3 Review
Pros:
Step-in comfort
Well-balanced and supportive
Cons:
Stiff outsole at the back of the shoe
Dust pickup hinders traction performance
Performance of the Puma Stewie 3:
Puma looks to mix things up by introducing a drop-in midsole in the Stewie 3.
The traction performance is solid on clean courts. The outsole tread and pattern pick up dust quickly, which hinders performance and causes sliding.
Puma's drop-in midsole is comfortable when you step in the shoe, but it's not bouncy. The outsole is stiff around the heel, which affects the impact protection.
The materials are mainly engineered mesh. The upper feels supportive and light, but the breathability is not good.
With the elevated side walls on the midsole and the outsole setup, lateral containment is not an issue. There's also a torsional shank piece under the drop-in.
The Puma Stewie 3 is a niche shoe catering to specific play styles. The balance and stability help with being quick while staying low.

I had to break in the cushioning over a few games. The drop-in midsole feels firm to start. It softens up but doesn't become bouncy. This is a neutral setup for sure.

I like the TPU reinforcement on the lateral side of the shoe. The upper and tongue are densely padded. It's not too breathable, though. The build quality is out of this world.

The drop-in midsole does have a torsional plate and elevated side walls, which I appreciate. I felt contained on the footbed. I wish there were a more prominent outrigger.

I like the raised side walls for lateral containment. The lack of an outrigger affects the lateral stability. Lockdown is good overall.
