Taking cue from the Japanese philosophy of keeping shoes outside, the gym bag is smartly crafted to carry shoes separately yet within the bag. The lightweight duffel bag has a separately accessible compartment on the side to keep shoes. It allows the other items of the bag to remain untouched by the shoes. The horizontal back strap allows it to be mounted on handles of travel luggage as well. The water-resistant linen-like bag can be cleaned with a damp cloth inside and outside.
