The best way to categorize the new Shuttle Pack from Nike SB is the term “convertible”. In actuality a 3-in-1 design, the Shuttle Pack doubles as a duffle, with a padded shoulder sling, a backpack, with vented straps and cushioned back support. Slip on a skatedeck in the exterior Neoprene holder and you can pull the pack like a trolley through a busy terminal. There are compartments for every conceivable travel items – additional skate decks, clothing, sneakers, even a padded one for laptop. For those items too small (or might trigger TSA’s suspicion), a small Dopp Kit is included. Made from high denier nylon in black with reinforced zipper enclosures and hardware, the versatile pack is up to the task for a globetrotting skate pro or a frequent flier looking for something different. Available as part of Nike SB’s January 2011 Collection.
