Cinelli, the Italian bicycle manufacturing company from Milan, and Milan-based football club Inter have joined forces to create an exclusive collection of limited-edition products. Inter has described the collaboration as part of its brand development and positioning, “showcasing that the club is capable of thriving in worlds beyond football and forging ever deeper bonds with iconic Milanese brands.” The first drop from the collection, already available on interxcinelli.it, includes a jersey, bib shorts, socks and a cycling cap. A second drop will follow later. All the garments feature a design inspired by the history and art of Milan. This first lot also includes the exclusive Inter x Cinelli Vigorelli bicycle, designed for use both on the track and in the city, fitted with Pirelli tires. Pirelli is Inter’s official tire partner. The collaboration was launched through a series of photographic shots and a video displaying the meeting of the worlds of football and cycling. Both the contents’ thematic approach and the product design are said to be inspired by Futurism, an artistic movement with roots in the city of Milan. The official launch date of the collaboration will coincide with the 113th edition of the Milano-Sanremo cycling race on March 19. The iconic Vigorelli Velodrome will play host to the presentation of the Inter x Cinelli collection during the race’s starting ceremony.
