The first phase of the partnership will feature JanSport's signature backpack styles, including the Big Student, SuperBreak Plus, Right Pack, and Draw Sack, all customized with official university branding. Designed to support students throughout their academic journey, these backpacks combine school pride with the durability and reliability JanSport is known for.
"JanSport has been a trusted part of the college experience for generations, and this partnership with L2 Brands allows us to deepen that connection," said Alexandra Reveles, VP of Global Brand at JanSport. "By expanding our presence in university bookstores, we're reinforcing our commitment to being 'Always With You'—a true ally for students as they navigate their college journey and beyond."
L2 Brands, which has a long-standing reputation for high-quality, trend-forward collegiate apparel and accessories, is the ideal partner for JanSport in this venture.
"We are thrilled to collaborate with JanSport, a brand that resonates so strongly with students and alumni alike," said Pete Waldron, Chief Revenue Officer at L2 Brands. "Together, we're bringing an exciting, high-quality collection of collegiate gear to campuses nationwide, giving students even more ways to represent their schools with pride."
Following the backpack launch in July 2025, the second phase of the partnership will introduce a co-branded collegiate apparel collection, with details to be announced at a later date.
This collaboration aligns with JanSport's mission to support self-expression, adventure, and sustainability while remaining a trusted companion for students throughout their academic journey.
