Nike is Celebrating Paige Bueckers’ Love for Shirley Temples with a GT Cut 4 PE

Mocktails are all the rage. The younger generation’s turn away from booze has created a whole new market for zero-ABV spirits and syrups and bartenders with plenty of skill to whip up a quality drink that won’t leave you hungover. Sometimes, though, you just want the classics, and nothing is more classic in the mocktail space than a Shirley Temple.

Another Shirley? Surely

Dallas Wings star Paige Bueckers is a Shirley Temple obsessive. The recent All-Star and sharp-shooting Wings’ leading scorer has made her love for Sprite and grenadine known for years, and even convinced her sponsor, Gatorade, to make a collab flavor inspired by the sweet cherry soda cocktail. Now, Bueckers’ bev of choice is making its way to her non-beverage sponsorship.

On Bueckers’ GT Cut 4 Shirley Buckets PE, Nike adorns the asymmetrical silhouette in syrupy sweet cherry red with carbonated bubbles rising up the side panels from the midsole. Starting with a solid mixed drink pink on the medial side, the lateral side brings in the bubbly graphic print, with a mix of clear soda and red syrup mingling amongst the bubbles, with double cherry graphics on the heel.
