(FILA EU) - Once again, FILA approaches the world of two wheels and continues the collaboration with VR46 Riders Academy, founded by Valentino Rossi to support the riders to progress through the ranks, to the top of MotoGP. FILA signed riders Marco Bezzecchi and Luca Marini, who came out on top from a great 2022, especially Bezzecchi who won the “Rookie of the Year" by a wide margin.
This third collaborative collection takes its inspiration from FILA’s roots anchored to the world of motor sports, translated to a streetwear context, and the result ends up in a fusion of sportive and casual styles for both genders.
A range of comfortable sets in slightly oversized fits, the pieces with race flag inspired, all over prints make a statement in the collection. To complete the look, the capsule includes footwear styles Modern T and Shocket ST that go hand-in-hand with the apparel.
The color scheme includes natural colors as Iron Gate, Black and Fields of Rye, together with strong accent colors of Celosia Orange and Acid Lime.
FILA x VR46 Riders Academy S/S 2023 collection launches exclusively at vr46.com and select EU retailers in February 2023.
