What’s the one accessory your little guy will need when he goes back to school? A backpack, of course! It’s bound to become his BFF through thick and thin. It needs to store all his essentials, be extra durable and super cool. Thankfully, you’ll find lots of fun backpacks for boys that make the grade—right here at Macy’s.

Sporty Backpacks for Boys
If he is always headed to a game or practice, a sporty backpack is a great choice. Not only will it hold his pencils, books and lunch box, but it will also have separate compartments he can store his water bottle and soccer cleats in, too. adidas, Under Armour and Nike backpacks for boys will have the cool logos he loves, plus sporty features like reflective details and extra zipper compartments.

Neutral Backpacks for Boys
If boys’ clothes that make a bold statement are his jam, you might want to consider dialing down the backpack a notch. Neutral-hued styles in black, gray or navy will pair well with all of his zany outfits, even his colorful collection of graphic tees. Simple backpacks with subtle logos and minimal details will also work best with his brightly colored sneakers and shoes.
