They have different colors just go to their website and take a look for more information. It’s to legit to pass up.
Now for something more compact + a bag on its own and a quick trip to the gym or a 1-day getaway the GRF is what you are looking for coming in at $34.99.
| GRF | |
 |
 |
| “The GRF is a new take on the classic drawstring bag. Its design stores shoe separately from the bag’s main interior compartment. The GRF is the perfect bag for quick trips to the gym, training sessions or any other light packing excursion.” (a) | |
The SolePack is for everyday use and it’s very affordable so take a look at there website for more information. Before you do look at what the other 3 companies have to offer. 😉
Before you proceed be aware that we start a price hike. You pay for what you get and these items you get quality and straight awesome sneaker travel storage. HexBrand is a more conservative or simplistic brand and is a direct competitor with the Shrine because they have similar product offerings.
An overall direct competitor to the HexBrand is the Shrine. Both products look legit but it’s up to you to make the final decision on what price point and the product you like better. There are pros and cons to everything and these to companies battle it head-on.
TWO:
HEXBRAND (hexbrand.com)
HexBrand has 2 products created for sneakers. Their first product is the Sneaker Backpack and it comes in at $149.95. Quality backpacks are usually $100 dollars and the Sneaker Backpack is a righteous choice.
| SNEAKER BACKPACK | |
 |
 |
| “The Sterling Sneaker Backpack is constructed in slate grey brushed nylon that is treated for water resistance. Contrasting black coated canvas trim mixes with marine camo genuine leather zipper pulls for a clean palette. This unique bag allows you to carry a pair of sneakers in a dedicated, vented sneaker compartment on the back of the bag, smart right? The interior has a padded and faux fur lined laptop storage pocket designed for a 17″ MacBook Pro but will also securely hold other 13″ – 17″ laptops. There is a general storage compartment above the sneaker area to hold clothes or other gear that can be collapsed to provide a full-height cargo area if you’re not packing your sneakers below. On the front, you will find two quick access Device Ready pockets (also padded and fleece-lined) to hold your iPad, iPad Air, or iPad Mini as well as your accessories. The interior includes an organizer for pens and cards, black Heritage logo lining, bar-tacked critical seams for durability, and surplus grade web straps and it’s easy to see why this backpack is so versatile.” (b) | |
You get the best of both worlds with this product storage for your clothes or electronics and a pair of shoes. You might even be able to fit 2 pairs of converse?
Hexbrand’s second product is the Sneaker Duffel and Shrine has something similar. It comes in at $159.95.

The Shrine’s last product is the Sneaker Wheeled Case. This is specified as an option to use it as a carry-on on a plane. You don’t have to wear a backpack or carry it as a duffel you can wheel it around the airport. The Sneaker Wheeled Case comes in at $389.

Little pricey we think but the quality and the design is on point. We fancy and this product adds to that.
Our last company is Lexdray and they outdid themselves by providing storage for more shoes than any of the companies above in one bag.
FOUR:
LEXDRAY (lexdray.com)
Lexdray’s Portland Sneaker Duffel allows you to store 6 pairs of sneakers in your bag. Maybe you want to wear a different pair for all 6 days you are on vacation or maybe you’re going to sell some shoes at a SneakerCon in your city. This bag will help you do all that at a price of $350.
