Nike Brings Air Force 1 Energy to the Airport

Nike is taking one of its most recognisable designs off the foot and into the terminal. The Air Force 1 inspired luggage set translates Bruce Kilgore’s classic into a pair of hard-shell suitcases that feel instantly familiar.

Finished in an all-black polycarbonate shell, the design stays clean and understated from most angles, then reveals its nod to sneaker history at the rear, where the AF1 outsole pattern is pressed directly into the casing. It is subtle. It is intentional. Very Nike.

Function backs up the look. Both the 26-inch and 29-inch cases roll smoothly on four spinner wheels and use a padded telescopic handle for easy movement through busy airports. Inside, the layout feels well thought out, with divided compartments, mesh storage, and a removable liner that can be unzipped and cleaned after long trips.

There is also an expandable section for extra packing room, plus a TSA-approved lock for peace of mind. Open it up and the branding continues, with repeated Swooshes and a “thank you for flying nike air” lining that quietly seals the concept.
