Hey guys, backpacks aren’t just for school anymore. They are the new accessory to have. No more slumping to the side like you would with a shoulder bag. Plus, you’ll have your hands free and you can use them for a weekend away, a day at the ballpark, for your everyday workbag — or like NBA players Russell Westbrook and Kevin Durant — at a post-game press conference. Below (Pictured above, clockwise, L-R) are The Manual’s backpack picks.
