Travel Hoop is a portable basketball system inspired by the sleek silhouette of a sniper rifle case and the practicality of a rolling toolbox. Designed for urban athletes and basketball lovers on the move, it transforms from a compact suitcase into a full-function hoop in under 3 minutes—without the need for any tools.
The innovation lies in its patented central pole rotation-lock mechanism, enabling quick and stable assembly. The foldable backboard neatly tucks into the body, while the telescopic handle and wheels allow the entire unit to be pulled like standard luggage. The bottom suitcase serves a dual purpose—as storage and as a counterweight base—ensuring balance and mobility.
Every component of the Travel Hoop is crafted with sustainability in mind. Recyclable polyethylene (PE) and steel form the structure, allowing for both durability and environmental responsibility. The product meets modern expectations for quick deployment, easy transport, and eco-conscious design, making it ideal for street games, pop-up sports events, and youth training programs in limited spaces.
By merging athletic spontaneity with industrial compactness, Travel Hoop not only redefines portability in sports equipment but also expresses a new urban lifestyle—one where sports can be played anywhere, anytime.
