PB is getting her own PE.
Paige Bueckers and Nike announced on Monday that the UConn star is the first-ever NIL athlete to design and drop a Nike Player Edition basketball sneaker, the Nike G.T. Hustle 3. Shes ready to get to work in them, too.
Its definitely motivating to wear your own shoe, Paige says in an official press release. I grew up wearing Nikes all the signature shoes so its surreal to have this Player Edition model. I just want to show out in it.
Heres everything you need to know about the kicks, from the inspiration behind the design to when theyre dropping and more.
Wait, Paige Buckets is getting her own sneaker!
Her own Nike Player Editions, that is. The Nike G.T. Hustle 3 is meant to propel her performance during the final season of her illustrious collegiate career, at UConn.
What do they look like?
The silhouette was made with her style, and elite game, in mind. The beauty is in the details: from the baby blue and lavender purple colorwayher favorite colorsto the area codes for the University of Connecticut and Paiges hometown in Minnesota that are on the left tongue, as well as an embroidered bucket on the right (iykyk).
Theres also a text bubble with the very message Bueckers gets from her dad before every game: Be You, Be Great.
When do they drop?
Mark your calendar: the Nike G.T. Hustle 3 will be available December 7 on SNKRS and at select retail locations.
