AC MILAN AND CASTELLI UNVEIL PREMIUM CYCLING COLLECTION
Sponsor
AC Milan and Castelli, two icons of Milanese excellence, have come together to launch a premium cycling collection that celebrates their deep-rooted heritage, shared values, and commitment to pushing boundaries in sport and style.
The collaboration marks the Rossoneri's first-ever official cycling apparel line, designed in partnership with Castelli, a global leader in performance cycling gear. The result is a bold fusion of football heritage and cycling innovation, rooted in Italian craftsmanship and a passion for movement.
More than just a collaboration, this collection brings together two brands connected by a shared Milanese heritage and a commitment to sporting innovation. Their histories intersect through the renowned tailor Vittore Gianni, whose atelier crafted some of AC Milan's kits between the late 1960s and early 1970s, while also laying the foundation for the sportswear brand that would later bear the name Castelli. This common thread, rooted in craftsmanship and creativity, is now reimagined in a contemporary collaboration that celebrates tradition, style, and excellence.
AC Milan Ecommerce, Retail & Licensing Director Valerio Rocchetti commented: "This collaboration with Castelli came together naturally - a meeting of two iconic brands with deep roots and a shared Milanese spirit. This is a collection that speaks to a broader lifestyle, in line with the interests of our fans - who not only love football, and our Club in particular, but also have an active passion for other sports and expressions of performance. It is a creative fusion of style and function, and part of a wider journey for the Club as we continue to explore new ways to connect with people through creativity and culture."
Castelli Global Brand Manager Steve Smith said: "This collaboration is a true testament to the enduring bond between Castelli and AC Milan, stretching back to Vittore Gianni's original craftsmanship. We have poured that shared history into this collection, combining iconic AC Milan style with Castelli's pro-level performance to create something truly special for fans and riders alike."
The collection includes three high-performance jerseys, premium cycling shorts, gloves, socks, and a neck warmer – all echoing the spirit of the Club and Castelli's technical excellence:
All pieces are built on Castelli's Competizione model, designed for top-tier performance with advanced fabrics, aerodynamic cuts, and breathable comfort – delivering the perfect balance of function and flair for both amateur riders and cycling purists.
