Nike enters hard-shell luggage with an athlete-first suitcase built to remove friction from modern performance travel.
Nike is officially stepping into hard-shell luggage — and it’s doing it the same way it approaches footwear and apparel: athlete-first, performance-driven, and obsessively tested.
After nearly five years of research and real-world travel testing, Nike is launching its first hard-shell suitcase collection in Spring 2026, designed for a generation of athletes that now travels by plane as often as by car.
Nike’s debut luggage line includes three sizes:
All feature:
Prices start at $260 for the carry-on, with additional colors planned after launch.
Athlete travel has changed. According to Nike’s bags team, youth athletes, amateurs, and pros alike are flying more than ever — for tournaments, races, training camps, and competitions. Yet luggage hasn’t evolved with them.
Nike’s goal wasn’t to reinvent travel — it was to remove friction.
“If people aren’t thinking about their suitcase, we’ve done our job,” said Rachel Lipinski, Nike’s Global Product Director for Bags.
To get there, prototypes were dragged across cobblestone streets, airport terminals, and international routes to stress-test wheels, handles, shells, and interiors.
The design language pulls directly from one of Nike’s most iconic products: the Air Force 1.
It’s unmistakably Nike, without being loud.
This isn’t Nike chasing a trend — it’s Nike closing a gap.
As fitness becomes more mobile and competition more global, luggage becomes equipment, not an accessory. By treating travel as part of performance — recovery, preparation, logistics — Nike is extending its ecosystem beyond training and into everything around it.
The message is clear:
Performance doesn’t start at the venue. It starts at the gate.
Coming Spring 2026. ✈️
