Paige Bueckers made history as the first NIL athlete to launch her own signature shoe. To celebrate, she surprised her UConn teammates with Nike swag and the new kicks, a nod to her nickname, "Paige Buckets." During the Women’s Champions Classic, Bueckers debuted her Nike GT Hustle 3 PE, and her teammates showed their support by wearing the same shoes, creating a powerful display of unity. The gesture highlighted the collective success of the UConn Huskies as they celebrated Bueckers’ milestone together.
