Bueckers makes history and UConn Teammates show support in a meaningful way

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.
