Want a bag that’s practical and ready to take on all you shoe lovers? Have a peek at The Weekender by The Shrine Co.
The Weekender
Can you imagine fitting more than two pairs of sneakers inside a backpack? Normally that would be impossible for someone wearing a larger size. With most weekend bags, after putting one pair of shoes inside you’re already at the limit. With two pairs you’ll quickly find that there’s no space for anything else and you probably won’t appreciate your sneakers sitting on top of your clothes. Those wearing a larger size will more than likely forgo packing any shoes at all and just go with the ones they’re wearing. If you’re someone who loves having footwear choices when traveling (that would be me, of course), you wind up having to bring more than one bag … pretty annoying for all of us shoe lovers, right?
Here’s the solution. The Shrine Co.’s Weekender is a sneaker backpack designed with two large dedicated compartments for your limited edition kicks. It also has storage for all your important accessories: caps, watches, jewelry, and tech. Whether flying or just driving somewhere for time with friends a few hours away, your gear will be organized beautifully.
The Duffel
For a trip that’s longer than a weekend but shorter than a full week, you’ll need a larger bag like duffel. Most duffels are designed with only one compartment to pack your stuff. This isn’t ideal for shoe or sneaker lovers to showcase their collections as they end up squished inside the duffel and the shoes can potentially be ruined and worse so can your clothes.
Enter the Shrine Sneaker Duffel, a bag designed with three separate layers of space. There are two large sneaker compartments on each end and a large middle compartment for clothes. Underneath the main opening there‘s a mesh pocket for chargers, cables and other essentials and even a watch pocket for your favorite timepiece.
The Backpack
Most backpacks out there offer compartments for laptops and other stuff, but none specifically for shoes. As the first luggage company engineered for the modern world traveler, The Shrine Co. also includes a specific shoe compartment in its backpack.
The rectangle design makes it different from most oval backpacks and the unique fold out sneaker compartment keeps both your high tops and running shoes clean and protected. This pack was created for day-to-day use and sports fans will adore it. Whether packing your kicks for a quick game after school or hitting the gym during the work day, this backpack has your back. The padded rear compartment fits laptops up to 17 inches and there’s room for even a book or folders. The top section can hold your tablet and has an organizer for personal items like pens, wallet, a mouse etc.
These bags are currently available online and nationwide in select retailers, such as Footlocker, and come in 3 colorways (black, olive and red). Prices range from $150 – $325. Good deal, huh?
