Sinner Volunteers as Ticket Taker on Nike’s ‘All Conditions Express’ Ahead of Milano Cortina
Sinner served as a ticket taker on Nike’s ‘All Conditions Express’ train ahead of Milano Cortina 2026.
Days after his semifinal loss to Novak Djokovic at the Australian Open, world No. 2 Jannik Sinner followed through on a pledge to take part in volunteer duties for Milano Cortina 2026. Sinner boarded Nike’s specially commissioned train, serving as a ticket taker on the promotional “All Conditions Express” alongside Paralympic fencing champion Bebe Vio.
The custom-painted orange Italian train began its journey from Milan on Feb. 5 and is scheduled to arrive in the Orobic Alps on Feb. 8. Commissioned by Sinner’s apparel sponsor Nike, the service will act as a mobile base camp, with trail running and hiking among the planned activities designed to promote a “culture of exploration” of the region.
Sinner was named an ambassador for the Games in September 2024 and was identified as the event’s first volunteer. He has spoken about his connection to winter sport and the significance of volunteers at major events. “I am proud to represent the passion for these extraordinary disciplines and the desire to contribute to the success of such a unique event,” he said.
He also reflected on the wider role volunteers play for athletes: “In all major sporting events, volunteers have the opportunity to make the experience unforgettable for us, the athletes,” he added. “Sport has always been a fundamental part of my life, especially winter sports. I learned to ski when I was just a child, and since then, the adrenaline of the slopes and the allure of the snow-covered mountains have been with me through every winter. Milano Cortina 2026 will be held in places that are very special to me, and I can’t wait to watch the competitions of the champions who will come to Italy from all over the world.”

Nike Atelier unveils one-of-one winter performance look for Jannik Sinner
Nike Atelier created a one-of-one winter performance look with Jannik Sinner for Milan Cortina. 2026
Nike’s design division, Nike Atelier, collaborated with Jannik Sinner to produce a one-of-one performance outfit that nods to his alpine roots during the 2026 Milan Cortina Games. Raised near the Dolomites, Sinner was a national champion in giant slalom before focusing on tennis, and the bespoke collection was intended to reflect that background.
The custom set included a bespoke jacket, an insulated vest featuring adaptive A.I.R. technology, tailored pants and matching footwear. Sinner wore the pieces for one-on-one interviews with global fashion media in Milan alongside Nike Chief Design Officer Martin Lotti and at a special event marking the relaunch of All Conditions Gear, known as ACG.
“For me, it’s very important to always have a small sign of where I’m from,” the ATP’s world No. 2 said via the Nike website.
The sculptural, winter-ready silhouette emphasizes deep pleats and a boxy cocoon shape, and it served as a focal point for Nike’s presence at the Games. Nike is not an official Winter Olympics partner, but the brand maintained a visible presence in Milan and Cortina through pop-up activations. Those included a surprise appearance when Sinner punched tickets aboard the “ACG Express” at Milan’s Centrale station while wearing pieces from his custom collection.
Made to Sinner’s exact specifications by Nike Atelier, the outfit was crafted by Senior Design Director Raffaella Barbey in collaboration with Lotti and a multidisciplinary team. Barbey conducted fittings with Sinner in Melbourne during his Australian Open run and refined the garments through multiple rounds of feedback and iteration.
“When a brand invests this much thought and energy into a single moment, it shows they really care about making the athlete feel special. That’s one of the biggest reasons why I love being with Nike—they make you feel important.”
“This experience felt very different from work I’ve done with other brands,” Sinner says. “I was more involved in the process. There were a lot of conversations about what could be better, what wasn’t right, what worked well. In the end, we came out with an incredible result.”
World No. 2 Sinner opened the year with a run to the semifinals at the Australian Open, where he had been the two-time defending champion, before falling to a resurgent Novak Djokovic in five sets.
