AC MILAN X OFF-WHITE LIMITED EDITION FOURTH KIT
AC Milan, in collaboration with fashion label Off-White™ and sportswear giant PUMA, has unveiled a striking limited-edition fourth kit for the 2024-2025 season. This partnership marks Off-White™'s inaugural venture into on-field football kit design, blending the worlds of sport and high fashion. The kit was officially launched on February 14, 2025, and is set to make its on-pitch debut when AC Milan faces Hellas Verona in an upcoming Serie A fixture.
The kit's design is bold and unconventional, featuring two distinct color gradients: one transitioning from black to green, and another from red to green. The jersey is adorned with Off-White™'s signature arrow motifs, creating a dynamic pattern that covers the entirety of the fabric. Departing from tradition, the AC Milan crest appears in a monochrome format with the word "DIAVOLI" (Italian for "devils") printed above it, paying homage to the club's nickname.
This collaboration is more than a fusion of fashion and football; it carries deep cultural and historical significance. The number 63 is printed on the inner collar of the jersey, symbolizing the year 1963 when AC Milan secured its first European Cup triumph. That same year, Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his iconic "I Have a Dream" speech, a milestone in the fight for social justice and equality. By incorporating this number, the kit celebrates the transformative power of dreams and progress, resonating with the shared values of AC Milan, PUMA, and Off-White™.
Cristiano Fagnani, CEO of Off-White™, emphasized the collaboration's broader cultural impact, stating that it serves as "an opportunity to celebrate the cultural legacy and influence of the Black community in sports and fashion." The kit's design elements, including the Pan-African colors infused into the goalkeeper jerseys, reflect this commitment to diversity and inclusion. This initiative aligns with Black History Month, underscoring the partnership's dedication to honoring Black excellence.
The AC Milan x Off-White™ fourth kit is available for purchase through AC Milan's official store and select retailers, with a retail price of USD 245. This release continues AC Milan's tradition of innovative fourth kit collaborations, following previous partnerships with fashion brands like Nemen, Koche, and PLEASURES. By teaming up with Off-White™, AC Milan reinforces its commitment to pushing the boundaries of sportswear design, creating apparel that resonates both on and off the field.
