Whether you’re flying to Paris to watch the Olympics or preparing for your next trip, Samsonite has you covered with our latest partnership. The partnership will feature the brand’s high-performance luggage in collaboration with the USA Gymnastics team.

Samsonite has been announced as the “Official Luggage Partner” of USA Gymnastics (USAG) ahead of the 2024 Summer Olympics. The collaboration sees the luggage brand equip USAG athletes with the brand’s dynamic Proxis as they travel across the U.S. for training camps and overseas for this year’s competitive events. Suitcases will be provided. Of course, it’s not as big as the Paris Olympics.

The Proxis suitcase collection comes in four different sizes: carry-on, medium, large, and extra-large spinners. You can choose from four suitcase colors: black, petrol blue, honey gold, and silver.

These suitcases are an avid traveler’s dream, boasting a sleek, shiny aesthetic with secure sides and TSA-friendly locks. It also features his Roxkin outer shell, Samsonite’s proprietary protective material that is lightweight yet shock-absorbing and damage-resistant. The suitcase also has a built-in USB port for charging your phone, which helps you stay connected throughout your trip (though it’s removable).

“Travel can be stressful, but Samsonite helps USAG gymnasts arrive with confidence,” USAG said in a press release. “It’s also a perfect fit for our large partnership family.” Our family of partnerships includes brands like Nike and CORE Hydration, both of which help athletes move and train in comfort.

The 2024 Summer Olympics will be held in Paris from July 26th to August 11th, with gymnastics competitions taking place from July 27th to August 5th. The U.S. women’s national team has had tremendous success in past Olympics and is once again in the spotlight. This year it’s gold. Samsonite’s partnership announcement highlights that “USA Gymnastics Women’s Team has won a gold or silver medal in the Olympic team event and a gold medal in the individual all-around at every competition since 2004.” This year’s team is aiming for similar success, with former Olympic medal holders such as Simone Biles, Jade Carey and Jordan Chiles also set to compete.
