I have been gifted adidas products for the creation of this post on back to school backpacks and as always the opinions in this post are my own.
My guys both finally finished school (how are we headed to Junior year next year) and summer has literally only just started and we don’t really think about back to school things until days get shorter and summer comes to an end. But I was shopping bags for travel recently on the adidas website and also I’m enjoying my new adidas FIFA volunteer bag I got recently for helping with the Club World Cup in Seattle and I realized that waiting until September to buy our back to school backpacks might not be the best thing if everyone else is buying their backpack at the very same time. A backpack is something my guys wear literally every day and we need to make sure we get a quality one. And a good backpack can also last at least a few years so it’s important to look for one my guys like.
I think the adidas Prime 7 backpack could be a really good fit for one of my guys. It’s a stylish backpack. It can hold a computer. The Classic 3S 5 backpack also seems like a good option because it comes in a variety of colors, it has a laptop sleeve, a water bottle holder and it looks like it would work as a great school backpack too.
And this one is definitely my style and maybe my niece’s-when I checked recently the Original National 3.0 backpack is 50% off from $60 to $30 (I hope it’s still this price when you check too) so this one would be one I’d definitely consider for a back to school backpack if it’s still on sale. (My guys usually pick darker colors but I’ll still show them this one just in case) And I absolutely love when I get something on sale.
We’ve also had our lunch bags for years now (probably since 2nd grade) so I might have to finally replace these too. The ones we’ve had have lasted through daily use for so long. The style looks like it’s a little different now but we’ve really loved using our adidas lunchbags too so this is probably what I’ll end up getting again as well.
If you’re shopping on the adidas website and don’t yet have adiclub I would strongly suggest that you check it out. I’ve gotten enough points on purchases to get coupons that I’ve used to get great discounts on other purchases and there have been a lot of fun opportunities through the club too. There are some things you can only buy with your adiclub points and I am saving up to one day be able to buy a pair of shoes just because that would be really cool. I’ve also bought the calm app with points and my son wants me to buy a year’s subscription to the Athletic. Things you can purchase with points are always changing but I’ve always found many of their rewards intriguing and I like when rewards clubs have options like this.
Do you wait until the end of summer for back to school shopping or do you do it right away? Are you shopping for a back to school backpack this year too?
