Footwear compartment, mesh pocket for the water bottle, wide straps: the Nike backpacks come from the field before ending up as a school bag. Our category covers formats from school bags to club bags.
Backpacks Nike are divided into the training bag, with a separate compartment for shoes and a mesh pocket for the water bottle, and the school bag, which is flatter and has a padded pocket for the laptop. The Air-branded models feature the brand's signature on the front.
A Nike sports backpack is judged on three points: the shoe compartment, the mesh pocket that holds a water bottle upright, and the width of the straps. The shoe compartment is evaluated based on its height, as a pair of high-top trainers or cleats does not always fit flat. The rest is determined by use, as a club bag can also serve as a school bag the next day.
The differences relate to back length and strap cut, rarely to volume. A Nike large backpack is mainly distinguished by a longer back, while compact sizes narrow the strap spacing. Pockets and compartments are then chosen based on actual use rather than the label.
A Nike Air backpack features the branding printed large on the front or on the straps, a design taken from the shoe world. The choice then becomes aesthetic, as the construction remains that of the other brand models. To decide, compare the stated height and the presence of a padded pocket rather than just the logo, as a very graphic Nike backpack may turn out to be narrower than it seems.
