Nike works in collaboration with Inter Milan and Pirelli for a strong joint capsule that draws inspiration from racing culture whilst also celebrating the ongoing partnership. This year marks 25 years since the brands have joined forces as Inter Milan and Pirelli seamlessly merge the culture of football and motor racing together.
The collection features sweats, a jumpsuit, a tee, long sleeve top, hoodie, and an NRG jacket. The color palette highlights bright yellow and black as a nod to the hues of motorsport. Every design features graphics that draw inspiration from racetrack flags as well as the Inter Milan club crest and logos nodding the Pirelli and Nike Futura as well.
