LA label Brain Dead continues their blossoming collaborative partnership with on a new extensive collection of footwear and apparel, which includes the Tennis Airliner Bag. Now, this is a special piece and arguably the standout item from the collection.

Retro tennis aesthetics are on the cusp of having their moment and this bag is going to help usher it in. It’s inspired by classy carry-on hand luggage of yesteryear in its navy leatherette exterior and light brown piping trim. We say hand luggage because there’s no shoulder strap; it looks cooler held in-hand anyway. The defining feature of this bag is its branded external oval compartment that is shaped to fit a tennis racquet – but getting one through airport security might be a bit harder these days than back in the ‘70s.
