Bags Nike, adidas and Kappa for sport and everyday use

What types of bags can you find in this selection?

This page brings together several families of bags designed for different uses. The backpack remains the most versatile format, suitable for sports, everyday commutes, or school. The shoulder bag is great for carrying the essentials in a compact way, while the bum bag attaches to the belt or across the chest to keep your hands free. The satchel, closer to a briefcase format, is more suited for urban use. Finally, the suitcase meets the needs for travel over several days, whether for trips or sports training.

How to choose a backpack suited to your use?

Choosing a backpack depends mainly on what you plan to carry day-to-day. For sports use, choose a model with compartments for shoes or wet items. For school or work, a padded compartment for a laptop or tablet can make a difference. Some models designed for children offer smaller volumes and age-appropriate designs. The capacity and number of pockets are the most practical criteria for comparing two models against each other.

Which bag brands are available?

The selection of bags offered here includes three brands from different backgrounds. Nike offers a wide range of backpacks, shoulder bags, bum bags, and suitcases, with lines like Heritage or Elemental featuring different formats and capacities. adidas adds to the offering with its own models of backpacks, including the Leo line. Kappa is also listed for buyers looking for an alternative to the two previous brands. The choice of brand often depends on aesthetic preference or existing use linked to other accessories from the same label.

If you’re looking for new arrivals, the new items lifestyle page presents the latest references added to the catalogue.

How to maintain a sports bag or a backpack?

The maintenance of a bag mainly depends on the fabric used and how often it is used. Models made of canvas or synthetic materials generally withstand cleaning with a damp sponge and mild soap, avoiding soaking the reinforced areas or zippers. It's best to let the bag air dry away from direct heat sources to prevent distorting its structure. Regularly empty pockets and compartments to avoid moisture build-up, especially if the bag is used to transport damp sports gear.

Frequently asked questions

What size of backpack should I choose for school or sports?

This mainly depends on the volume you need to carry daily. A medium-sized backpack is enough for school supplies or light training, while a larger model is preferable if you also carry shoes or a change of clothes. Backpacks for kids offer smaller volumes suitable for their frame.

Can a shoulder bag replace a backpack for everyday use?

This depends on how much stuff you usually carry. The shoulder bag is suitable for carrying the essentials, like a phone, wallet, or small pencil case, but it provides less volume and compartments than a backpack. For regular sports use with several items, a backpack remains more appropriate.

What’s the difference between a satchel and a bum bag?

The satchel is usually carried by hand or with a long strap, more for urban or professional use. The bum bag attaches to the belt or across the chest, making it more practical for active movement or outings where you want to keep your hands free.

Are the suitcases in this selection suitable for cabin flights?

Some suitcases in the catalogue are designed for a compact format suitable for short trips, but the exact dimensions allowed in the cabin vary by airline. It's advisable to check the specific measurements of the suitcase and compare them with the airline’s rules before travelling.

How can you tell if a bag is suitable for carrying sports shoes?

A bag suitable for carrying shoes generally has a separate compartment, often ventilated, to isolate the shoes from the rest of your belongings. This type of compartment prevents dust or moisture from the shoes from coming into contact with clothing. This information is usually found in the description of each model.
