A selection of Samsonite Proxis suitcases surround by tennis balls and rackets

Samsonite aims to gain an advantage over rivals by partnering with tennis star Casper Ruud to launch a new generation of premium travel luggage.

The collaboration features the Norwegian sportsman using the latest Ecodiver waterproof backpacks and Proxis suitcases from the brand.  

“I’m playing tennis and travelling around the world for most of the year and I love it. Because of this, I need durable luggage that makes it easy for me to get around and also looks good at the same time,” says Ruud.
