Shoe Garage
A fully separated bottom compartment with its own dual-zip access. Cleats, spikes, court shoes or wrestling shoes go in, and stay away from everything else.
Base compartment
Official AAU × Sole Premise Collaboration
One Bag.Every Season.Every Sport.
The multi-sport backpack built for the athlete who plays year-round. A dedicated shoe compartment, organized gear zones, and premium construction, wearing the shield you compete under.

Why this bag exists
Multi-sport athletes carry more than one season at a time.
Basketball in the winter. Track in the spring. A tournament weekend that ends in a different city than it started. Most bags are built for one sport, so athletes end up with three of them, and none that work.
We designed the AAU × Sole Premise backpack around the one thing every sport shares: shoes that shouldn't touch your gear, gear that shouldn't touch your tech, and a bag that carries all of it without looking like a duffle.

Luxury look. Performance function.Zero compromise. Since 1888, sports for all.
Built in zones
Everything has a place. Nothing touches.
Tap a point on the bag to explore. Every zone was placed where an athlete's hands go first.
Main Gear Bay
The large upper compartment swallows a full practice kit: uniform, warm-ups, pads, towel. Wide-mouth opening so you can see what's inside.
Primary storagePadded Tech Sleeve
Rear-side compartment for a laptop or tablet and chargers. Homework travels to the tournament too.
Against the back panel
Quick-Access Pocket
Top front pocket for the things you reach for between whistles: mouthguard, tape, keys, phone.
Upper frontFront Organizer
A second zip pocket with internal dividers for the small stuff. Wristbands, pre-wrap, earbuds, a snack that isn't crushed by a shin guard.
Lower frontCarry System
Padded, contoured shoulder straps with a breathable mesh back panel and a reinforced top grab handle for the bus, the bleachers, the overhead bin.

Every AAU sport asks something different of your bag. Here's how the zones work for each one.
Winter · Spring · Summer Circuit
BasketballFrom the shootaround to the semifinal
Three games in one day means two pairs of shoes, a change of uniform and somewhere for the laptop between sessions. The shoe garage takes the high-tops. The rest stays clean.

Spring · Summer Showcase Season
BaseballCleats down. Glove up.
Cleats carry half the infield home with them. Isolate them in the garage, keep the glove and batting gloves in the main bay where they stay dry and shaped, and keep the cap from getting crushed.

FootballTurf stays on the turf.
Cleats, gloves, base layers and a mouthguard you need in ten seconds flat. The garage holds cleats and turf shoes; the main bay takes compression gear and a practice jersey. Pads ride with the team. This bag carries everything else.

HockeyThe off-ice bag that does the work.
Your equipment bag lives in the trunk. This is the one you actually carry: skate-guards and off-ice trainers in the garage, dry-land kit and a fresh base layer in the main bay, and school work in the sleeve for the long ride to the rink.

Martial ArtsRespect the gi.
A clean gi is non-negotiable. It rides folded in the main bay, away from sparring gear. Slides and mat shoes go in the garage. Gloves, shin guards and a belt that's been earned go where they can't get crushed.

Track & FieldSpikes in. Everything else stays sharp.
Spikes ruin bags. The garage is built for exactly this. Spikes and trainers both, isolated from the warm-ups you'll live in between heats. Long meet days mean hours of downtime; the tech sleeve earns its keep.
