Paige Bueckers gifts UConn teammates new Nike PE, swag 'Buckets'
Paige Bueckers is undeniably the biggest star in women's college basketball. The projected No. 1 pick in the 2025 WNBA Draft is in her final season and hopes to lead UConn to a national championship.
Before last season, Bueckers signed an NIL deal with Nike. This season, she is making history with that deal as the first college athlete to design and launch a Nike PE.
Bueckers and Nike unveiled her Nike GT Hustle 3 PE this week and they will be available for purchase on December 7.

Following the unveiling of her Nike PE, Bueckers had a special treat for her Huskies teammates. The star guard gifted the team a pair of her sneakers, along with a swag "Bucket." The bucket, an homage to Bueckers' nickname, was packed with a t-shirt, hoodie, and Bose headphones.
