Paige Bueckers Reveals Her Sneaker Game: From Nike to Curry Brand Hype
Dallas Wings rookie Paige Bueckers shares her love for stylish sneakers, with insights from her UConn teammate Azzi Fudd and a nod to Stephen Curry's brand.

Sometimes, it's all about the shoes—especially for Dallas Wings rookie guard Paige Bueckers. Known for her impressive on-court performance, Bueckers is also making waves with her sneaker game. Signed to Nike, she boasts a diverse rotation of kicks, from the Book 1 '95 All-Star to the Kobe 5 Protro X-Ray.
'I love a pretty shoe,' Bueckers told reporters ahead of the Wings' Monday matchup against the Phoenix Mercury, where she rocked the Devin Booker signature shoe. But her sneaker selection isn’t a solo effort. Her former UConn Huskies teammate Azzi Fudd plays a key role in choosing her game-day footwear.
'I put a collection of Books together and actually let Azzi choose my shoe,' Bueckers revealed. This collaboration caught the attention of Stephen Curry, who jokingly recruited her to join his Curry Brand, which Fudd signed with in 2021. 'Well.... Sounds like @currybrand is in your future then,' Curry tweeted.
When asked about her favorite sneakers, Bueckers didn’t hesitate to name Kyrie Irving’s signature Nike Kyrie shoes as her top pick. The two recently connected after the Dallas Wings' loss to the Indiana Fever on June 27.
Bueckers is having a stellar rookie season, averaging 18.1 points, 4.1 rebounds, and 5.4 assists for the Wings. Whether on the court or in the sneaker game, she’s proving to be a force to reckon with.
