About the original
The Castelli long-sleeve cycling jersey is made in Italy from a breathable polyester Prosecco Strada fabric with a full-length YKK front zipper, three rear storage pockets, a silicone-gripper hem to hold the jersey in riding position, and flatlock seams to prevent chafing on long rides. Castelli has been producing performance cycling apparel in Italy since 1876 (the oldest cycling-apparel brand in continuous production) and currently outfits several UCI WorldTour professional teams. The SS2025 Supreme collab edition is printed with SpongeBob SquarePants graphics across the front, back, and sleeves, a three-way collaboration between Supreme, Castelli, and Nickelodeon, and released alongside matching bib shorts in the same capsule.
About Castelli
Castelli is an Italian cycling apparel manufacturer tracing its origins to an 1876 Milan tailoring shop run by Vittore Gianni, which clothed football clubs including Milan and Juventus and cyclists including Alfredo Binda. Armando Castelli joined in 1935 and bought the business, supplying Gino Bartali, Fausto Coppi, and Jacques Anquetil. In 1974 his son Maurizio Castelli founded the current company under the scorpion logo, and in 1977 introduced Lycra to cycling shorts, a first in the sport. Castelli now outfits UCI WorldTour teams including Soudal Quick-Step and produces the Gabba jersey line. Supreme has released co-branded Castelli cycling apparel.
