Here are some great spring trends that are a must-have this season for work, school or spring break travels.

361 Degrees (361°) is a top shoes and sporting goods company that launched about 15 years ago. Imagine 360 degrees in a circle plus one extra degree, symbolizing the additional degree of innovation and creativity. For those who are looking for a running shoe that offers options such as neutral, speed, stability, trial, wide options, or all of the above — then this brand is a must-try. 361° was the official sporting wear of the Chinese men’s and women’s Olympic curling teams during the 2010 Vancouver Olympics, and was the provider of the official uniforms (footwear, apparel and accessories) for the 2016 Summer Olympics and the 2016 Summer Paralympics in Rio de Janeiro. It gave to Olympic officials, volunteers and torchbearers. The company just joined forces with Jelly Belly p/b Maxxis Pro Cycling Team on March 23, 2017, as the official supplier of performance footwear to all riders and staff during the 2017 season!

This running shoe’s sole unit utilizes a full-length QU!KFOAM™ top layer to cushion each foot strike. For stability, it offers a degree of stability to the arch to help manage less than perfect biomechanics, which makes this shoe a must-have for any run.

So, all you have to do is just roll it on the floor with one hand, and hold our other travel gear and/or your child with the other hand.

Thanks to the four wheels on this amazing spinner gear bag, its super easy mobility and lightweight carry capability, I was able to whisk it right up to the airline check in and make my flight!

When the kids get older and they can handle their own carry on items, I’m definitely going to check out Eagle Creek’s carry-on bags! It would be such a relief to be able to travel, pack for myself and not have to check in luggage.
