Sports bags carry a certain nostalgia, by way of the inevitable gym classes that saw us carting hand-me-down t-shirts and nondescript short shorts in oversized duffel bags to and from school. A rite of passage, as much as one of those mandatory activities that are dreaded obligations at the time and grow into fond, if slightly nauseating, memories to look back on.
We decided to switch up the sports bag game a little. Why carry your now undoubtedly upgraded gym-wear in an outdated carry-all? Especially considering that the designs of years gone by are in the past and current styles are good enough to be considered accessories in their own right.
Case in point: adidas' latest sports bags are designed not just to hold all different kinds of gym apparel, but they are made with your personal tastes in mind, too. Rendezvous with us at the nearest yoga studio for a workout, circa 2023.

Corduroy Messenger Bag
Corduroy is a veritable treasure-trove of a textile. Whatever the era, this take on cotton never seems to go out of style, and with good reason - it's as intricately detailed as it is soft, and comes in a plethora of colors. We think this rust orange shade complements the turning of the season beautifully.
