Sure, school’s almost out for the year, but we’re just getting ready to head back to Hawkins, Indiana, and the Upside Down with “Stranger Things 4.” To celebrate, JanSport has announced its collaboration with the cult-favorite Netflix series, “Stranger Things.” The new, limited-edition collection brings the packs seen in Season 4 to fans to wear alongside the gang.
As a trusted brand for young people for decades, the collaboration perfectly captures the look and feel of the latest season and throws back to the JanSport styles that were popular in 1986. Staying true to the brand’s mission, these packs will represent the story of key characters as they face these new, supernatural forces as a team.
“We are thrilled to be working alongside Netflix to deliver the JanSport x Stranger Things collaboration to our customers,” says Alexandra Reveles, Director of Marketing at JanSport. “The collaboration allows Gen Z consumers to immerse themselves into the Stranger Things universe in a way that aligns with JanSport’s values of embracing the spirit of adventure.”
The collection will include five Hawkins-inspired packs, including:
Field Pack Demogorgan Hunter ($70 MSRP)
Don’t want your friends to think you’re a total waistoid? The Field Pack Demogorgan Hunter has one large main component for all your evil-fighting needs. This pack features dual zippered side water bottle pockets, a dedicated padded laptop compartment that fits a 15-inch laptop, and more.
Right Pack Hellfire ($80 MSRP)
