Back-to-school season is nearly here and that means it’s time to tackle one of the most important school supply decisions: the backpack.

As a mom, I know the checklist is long. It needs to be durable enough to survive the school year (and beyond), spacious for all the gear kids somehow accumulate, and stylish or “sick” enough (as my son would say) that they actually want to wear it. Gone are the days of cheap and chintzy backpacks that rip within the first month and in with tough, durable and cute options!

That’s where adidas comes in. Their backpack collection is filled with options that are both kid-approved and mom-tested. Whether you’re shopping for your little student or looking for a stylish upgrade for yourself, these bags check all the boxes.

What Moms Really Want in a Backpack

  • Tough materials that won’t rip or fall apart after one semester.
  • Padded straps for comfort (especially when loaded with books or sports gear).
  • Multiple compartments to keep things organized.
  • A design that’s stylish enough to carry anywhere—from drop-off to sports.

What Kids Actually Care About

  • Bright colors or bold designs.
  • Room for everything—books, folders, Chromebook, snacks, and random keychains.
  • Easy to carry and toss in a locker or gym bin.
  • Bonus points for “cool” branding and trendy vibes.
