Nike is expanding into a new category with a hard-shell suitcase collection built specifically for athletes and fitness centered travel. Nike says the line is the result of five years of research and real world testing, with features designed for sweaty gear and constant movement through airports.

Nike’s announcement positions the collection as a spring 2026 launch with three sizes, plus core features like spinner wheels, a padded handle, adjustable dividers, and a removable washable liner.

The suitcases take heavy inspiration from the Air Force 1, including outsole-like patterning and Nike Air style design cues. It is a clear attempt to make the luggage feel like a lifestyle product, not just utility gear.

Nike’s own messaging points to spring 2026, while additional reporting suggests certain sizes may release as early as January 1, 2026, with pricing for larger sizes listed around $310 and $360 depending on the suitcase.

This is Nike doing what it often does: take a category people already buy, add athlete specific utility, then wrap it in recognizable design language. If the build quality matches the branding, Nike luggage could become a real player for the traveling fitness crowd.
