Raden has an app can be paired to the travel cases via Bluetooth, allowing travelers to weigh their suitcases by simply lifting them to see the number, thanks to weight sensors in the handle. The app also helps track the locations of suitcases from their beginning point to destination. Raden travel cases also have embedded batteries so users can charge devices through two ports on the exterior of the cases. The battery is removable and portable and can charge a phone up to four times.
The suitcases Green gave his teammates are each engraved with their logo. For instance, Kevin Durant’s suitcase is engraved with his “KD” logo and Stephen Curry’s features the same “SC” that is on his Under Armour shoes.
“With 40-plus games on the road this year, I want to spend my travel time focused on basketball, not worrying about luggage,” Green said in a statement. “Raden suitcases are not only stylish, but smart too – I can plug my phone into the case and watch film while charging on the go. I’m happy to share Raden suitcases with my teammates so they have the same great travel experience so we can all focus on getting that W.”
Raden suitcases are currently available in two sizes. The 22-inch carry-on size can be purchased for $295 and the larger checking sized bag is available for $395.
