Whether you’re catching a flight to Paris to watch the Olympics or packing for your next trip, Samsonite has you covered with its latest partnership, which showcases the brand’s high-performing luggage in conjunction with the USA Gymnastics team.
Samsonite is the “official luggage partner” of USA Gymnastics (USAG) for the 2024 Summer Olympics, and supplied all the athletes on Team USA with new suitcases to take to Paris last week. The collaboration sees the luggage brand supply USAG athletes with the brand’s dynamic Proxis suitcases, as the gymnasts travel across the United States for training camps, and abroad for their competitive events this year — none bigger than the Paris Olympics, of course.

BUY SAMSONITE Proxis CARRY-ON SUITCASE, $500
The Proxis suitcase collection comes in four different sizes: a carry-on size, as well as a medium, large and extra-large spinner. The suitcases are also available in four different colors: Black, Petrol Blue, Honey Gold, and Silver. The sleek looks and ample space continue Samsonite’s award-winning lineup of travel accessories.
These suitcases are an avid traveler’s dream, boasting contemporary designs to go with their secure siding and TSA-friendly locks. They also feature a Roxkin outer shell — Samsonite’s proprietary protective material that is shock-absorbent and resistant to damage — while still being lightweight. The suitcases also boast a built-in USB port to charge your phone and help you stay connected throughout your trip (though it’s removable as well).

In a press release, USAG notes that “Travel can be stressful, and Samsonite will help USA Gymnastics athletes arrive with confidence,” adding that the collab is “a great fit with not just the National Team but our larger partnership family” (the larger partnership family includes brands like Nike and CORE Hydration, both of which also help athletes travel and train in comfort).

The 2024 Summer Olympics will be held in Paris from July 26 to Aug. 11, with gymnastics events taking place from July 27 to Aug. 5. The U.S. Women’s National Team has seen a ton of success at past Olympics, and they are once again favored for gold this year. The Samsonite partnership announcement highlights that “the USA Gymnastics women’s team has won gold or silver in the Olympic Team event and gold in the All-Around at every Games since 2004.” This year’s team will aim to see the same success, with several former Olympic medal holders ready to compete, including Simone Biles, Suni Lee and Jordan Chiles.
