JanSport is kicking it old school — literally. To celebrate the fifth and final season of Netflix’s Stranger Things, JanSport is unleashing a set of ‘80s-style bookbags, fanny packs, and other accessories that whisk fans straight to the halls of Hawkins High. 

Whether you’re heading to homeroom or the Upside Down, your Party and these packs will always have your back. Show off your supernatural style with a Big Student Backpack covered with colorful, comic-inspired Stranger Things logos, or a fanny pack featuring the five friends and the iconic quote, “Friends don’t lie.” For a hallway hit, rock a recreation of Mike’s black bookbag, complete with a suede bottom and an upside-down JanSport patch.

The fun doesn’t end after the final bell! Fans can also celebrate their eerie extracurriculars with matching bags and slings. If you’re a Hellfire Club devotee, you can grab a blue or black denim backpack with an embroidered patch of the group’s logo. Newspaper nerds can cop a crossbody sling and SuperBreak Plus hot off the presses, while radio rebels can tune into WSQK with a retro fanny pack and bright blue Seattle Pack.

If you’re truly too cool for school, there’s one more backpack to sink your teeth into. Exclusively at Target, fans can find a Stranger Things version of the Cool Student Backpack. This heavy-duty bag can hold up to 34 liters and includes a laptop sleeve, a built-in organizer, water bottle holders, and a durable suede bottom. Inside, fans will discover a red and black lining featuring the series’ logo, perfect for running to class or running up that hill. 

The limited-edition collection is available now at jansport.com, so you can gear up for the premiere of Stranger Things Season 5 on Netflix on Nov. 26.
