Matt Varga Other titanic teams and pinnacle players might have something to say about it, but we’re on the brink of the Paige Bueckers era in the W. In only her second season of pro action, the UConn product has the Dallas Wings very much looking the part of a contender, assisted in that by reunited teammate Azzi Fudd and first-time All-Star Jessica Shepard providing veteran stewardship.
It’ll take a ring before we can truly coronate Ms. Buckets, but Nike isn’t waiting to dedicate product to the rising superstar. Given that she had a Swoosh NIL sponsorship during her career in Connecticut, this doesn’t mark the first time we’ve seen a Paige Bueckers product hit the shelves (a GT Hustle 2 colorway was), but this GT Cut 4 colorway is a real full-circle moment. It was during warm-ups for the 2025 WNBA All-Star Game that we saw our first look at the model, debuted on the guard’s feet as she prepped for her first ASG.
Her first takeover for the “Greater Than” sneaker is a bit more playful, leaning into her well-documented love for Shirley Temples that helped inspire a custom Gatorade flavor in 2025. That same concept leads to the bubbly textures on the upper of this pair, as well as the “Cherry Limeade” badges on the heels and volt green outsoles underfoot.
The Nike GT Cut 4 “Paige Bueckers” PE is already listed at retailers for an August 5th release, retailing for $210 in adult sizing. As depicted below, Grade School pairs will also be hitting the market.
