According to Steve Jaconetta of Sole Retriever, Nike is preparing to launch a new sneaker for UConn women’s basketball star Paige Bueckers, making her the first college player to receive her own signature shoe. The figures of her deal, which reportedly is lucrative, have not been revealed as of today. Paige Bueckers Becomes First College Player To Get Signature Nike Shoe Jaconetta reports that Nike will honor Bueckers with a special edition of the GT Hustle 3, which debuted earlier in July. The “multi-color” sneakers will pay tribute to both UConn and Bueckers’ hometown of Edina, Minnesota. These exclusive shoes are expected to hit the market on September 12, with a retail price of $190. When Bueckers joined the Nike team in September 2023, ESPN’s Michael Voepel predicted that the deal could extend into her professional career.& That possibility has become a definite as Nike is creating a shoe for the 22-year-old before she enters the WNBA.
