UConn star Paige Bueckers shows excitement over signing with "amazing league" that will push for the "growth of women's sports"

Paige Bueckers has been making money moves throughout the offseason. She became the face of the cover of HighSnobiety in July's magazine issue, signed a shoe deal with Nike, got nominated for an ESPY Award, and much more. Additionally, she signed a mega NIL deal with Unrivaled; the deal will give her ownership of the basketball league.

This means she will play in Unrivaled and WNBA after her college career is over. After the news was broken by Shams Charania on X, Paige Bueckers replied to his tweet and said:

"Blessed and grateful to be a part of this amazing league. To take an active role in the growth of women’s sports is a dream come true. Excited for the future, it’s just the beginning!"

The new 3-on-3 women's basketball league is founded by former UConn stars Breanna Stewart and Napheesa Collier. It is expected to feature several stars as it will avoid clashing with the WNBA season.

Paige Bueckers will return to the women's college basketball scene and try to win the national championship title with her squad. She is expected to declare for the 2025 WNBA draft after the 2024 college basketball season.

Paige Bueckers and Nike are set to collaborate on a new line of shoes

The UConn Huskies star will make history as the first college student-athlete to have their Nike-exclusive sneaker. The mega sneaker brand will release a special edition of its latest silhouette called the Nike GT Hustle 3. The Nike GT Hustle 3 was first launched in early July as part of the Blueprint Pack.

Later, it was released in the Electric Park, and the 2024 Paris Olympics Games inspired both versions. As per Sole Retriever, the sneaker is supposed to launch on September 12 with a price tag of approximately $120. Fans can find the sneakers at Nike stores and select online, and in-store retailers.

Further, there will be a vibrant multicolor theme with several colorways available. Men's sizing will retail for $190 and will feature a design that includes a yellow upper, black heel, gold Nike logos, and a navy gradient on the midsole.
