Former UConn star Paige Bueckers has taken the WNBA by storm. She has quickly established herself as one of the top players in the league and could be a star in the sport for years to come. On Thursday, a clip of Paige Bueckers talking about her shoe choice for each game was posted on the ESPNW Instagram account. In the clip, she spoke about what she likes in a shoe and how she let a teammate choose her shoes for that game for her.
“The fit, the feel, of course, and just the look, I love a pretty shoe,” Bueckers said. “It’s got the colors, the pretty colors. I guess that makes it all those things. I wore the Books last time we came out here. I put a collection of Books together. I actually let Azzi choose my shoe, so she chose the color but it was definitely gonna be a Book color. All time favorite shoe, I would say the Nike Kyries, all the numbers. Those are my favorites.”

After the clip was posted, one of the biggest stars in the NBA, Golden State star Steph Curry, posted in the comments with an eyebrow-raising comment. He mentioned his personal sneaker brand and implied they could partner up in the future.
“Well…. sounds like Curry Brand is in your future then,” Curry wrote.
