Inter & Nike Reveal Special Edition Valentino Rossi Away Shirt

In a first-of-its-kind link-up, Nike and FC Internazionale Milano have teamed up with none other than MotoGP royalty Valentino Rossi to deliver a striking special edition of Inter’s 2024/25 Away Kit.

Timed perfectly to honour The Doctor’s 46th birthday, the collaborative Inter x Valentino Rossi jersey goes full throttle in fusing the worlds of football and motorcycle racing. Rossi, a lifelong Nerazzurri fan, gets the ultimate tribute through a design that’s rich in symbolism and soaked in style. 

Front and centre on the jersey, Rossi’s unmistakable Sun and Moon icons sit proudly – emblems synonymous with his legendary career, now reimagined to represent the balance between the track and the pitch. It’s a visual marriage of two elite realms, executed with sharp, considered flair.

Look closer and the details crank up the exclusivity. Below the Nike Swoosh, you’ll spot the number 46 – immortalised in racing folklore, now etched into Inter’s fabric. A custom label reads: “Engineered to the exact specifications of Valentino Rossi” – a nod to the precision that defines both footballing excellence and MotoGP mastery.

And then there’s the shirt’s pièce de résistance: the ‘Rossi 46’ edition, the only version where the number 46 morphs into a MotoGP racetrack-inspired graphic – a subtle flex for fans who live for the thrill of corners and curves.

Inter will debut the kit on the hallowed turf of San Siro on Saturday 12 April 2025 against Cagliari. 

Speaking about the shirt, Rossi said: “It will be a huge honour to see the players of my team wearing this shirt created with Nike and Inter! It’s a dream come true as it brings together my passion for motorcycling and my favourite team. It’s also a display of love for the Club that has always made me feel at home.”
