Few, if any, NFL players are as flashy as Pittsburgh wide receiver Antonio Brown. His game backs this up, as the Steelers star is one of the league’s most dynamic receivers. Plus he’s become known for wearing some of the league’s most head-turning footwear, as his cleat game is second to none.
Brown’s style and flair are going off of the field with this new line of backpacks. They’re wonderful – they have wings and weird patterns and other crazy things that you can only pull off when you’re one of the best wide receivers in the NFL. These backpacks will come in three different styles, the first of which you can see at the top of this post as modeled by Brown. Here it is from a few different angels. Note the wings.
The backpacks are made by a company called Sprayground, who has also made some ridiculous packs with J.R. Smith. Its collaboration with Brown is part of its DBD line, and will include these additional backpack designs.
I don’t know anything about backpacks, as I have had the same one since I was in high school, but these look like they’re pretty cool. According to Sprayground’s founder and creative director David Ben-David (get it, DBD) in a release:
“For the launch of the DBD line we took an unprecedented approach to the typical, monotonous collaboration. Antonio Brown is a perfect fit for the DBD line, he has been publicly outed and even fined for expressing himself through his own personal style, it’s this type of rebellion that was a catalyst for me to launch Sprayground and to add an element of rebelliousness, back into the accessories market.”
Are these kind of absurd? Absolutely, but like everything Brown does, they’re super flashy and really awesome.
