Downgrade? Inter Milan Players Do Not Receive High-End Nike Training Kits

An unusual and interesting detail has been spotted in Inter Milan's pre-season training sessions for the 2025-26 season. The Inter players are not wearing the high-end 'Dri-FIT ADV' version of their new training kits. Instead, the squad has been supplied with the lower-tier standard replica version featuring regular Dri-FIT technology.

Inter Milan Players Do Not Receive High-End Nike Training Kits

During the training sessions of the 2025-26 season, Inter players wore regular training shirts instead of high-end Dri-FIT ADV version.

This is in stark contrast to Nike's other 'Elite' tier clubs, such as FC Barcelona, Chelsea, and PSG, whose players have all received the premium Dri-FIT ADV training apparel as is standard practice.

The standard Dri-FIT version, which the Inter players are currently using, is the replica tier sold to fans. It features a simpler construction and a standard fabric without the advanced body-mapping knit, which is clearly visible in the training photos.

The reason for this discrepancy is not officially known, and it is a very unusual situation for a club of Inter Milan's stature.

It could be a temporary supply chain issue, or it could hint at a change in the contractual relationship and status between Nike and the Serie A champions. Nike has recently streamlined its club tiers, and this could be a sign of Inter's new position within that structure.

What do you think is the reason for this? A temporary issue or a sign of a downgrade in their partnership with Nike? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.
