Soleluna Vale46 Anniversario Kit Up for Auction

Soleluna Vale46 Anniversario Kit: A Collector’s Dream with Purpose

Dainese unveils a singular piece of MotoGP history: the Soleluna Vale46 Anniversario Kit, number 1 of just 46 ever created, and the only one personally worn by Valentino Rossi himself. This one-of-one kit is now the centerpiece of a special auction benefiting UNICEF’s “Road Safety for Children” program, transforming elite race gear into an instrument for global good.

Crafted to celebrate Valentino Rossi’s 46th birthday, the Soleluna Vale46 Anniversario Kit stands alone in rarity and authenticity. Unlike the remaining 45 kits, this set was not just made — it was ridden. Worn by Rossi during a private training session at Mugello in May 2025, the suit and helmet are distinguished by a unique golden turtle patch on the shoulder — an unmistakable tribute to Rossi’s spirit animal and signature motif, exclusive to this edition alone.

“Dainese’s mission has always been to protect people,” stated Angel Sanchez, CEO of Dainese Group. “It is an honor to work with UNICEF and lend our support for children’s safety. This gesture confirms our unique bond with Valentino Rossi and our focus on the next generation.”

Soleluna Vale46 Anniversario Kit: The Gear Behind the Legend

The Soleluna Vale46 Anniversario Kit is a fully functional MotoGP-level ensemble. The suit is a Dainese Demone GP D-air 3x kangaroo leather suit, equipped with advanced airbag technology, crafted in Rossi’s custom sizing. Paired with an AGV Pista GP RR helmet, the ensemble features a design inspired by Rossi’s iconic Soleluna graphics, updated with midnight black, carbon accents, and fluorescent yellow highlights.

Both pieces shimmer with elegant gold detailing, including simulated gold leaf effects on the helmet shell and suit’s titanium sliders. Adding even more gravity to the kit, the suit and helmet are personally signed by Valentino Rossi and encased in a custom metal and plexiglass display case, ensuring this one-of-a-kind piece maintains its prestige and protection for generations to come.

This is a time capsule of modern racing’s most legendary rider, considered by most to be the greatest of all time, immortalizing his 46th birthday with style and sentiment. For fans of Rossi and high-performance racing gear, this is the holy grail.

Soleluna Vale46 Anniversario Kit: Racing Heritage for a Humanitarian Cause

The auction, announced during the Red Bull Grand Prix of San Marino and Riviera di Rimini, has drawn interest not just for its exclusivity, but for its purpose. All proceeds from the auction will support UNICEF’s “Road Safety for Children” program, which works to improve infrastructure, education, and mobility safety around the globe.

“On behalf of UNICEF Italy, I would like to thank Dainese and Valentino Rossi for their openness and sensitivity towards children,” said Nicola Graziano, President of UNICEF Italy. “Safe mobility is about more than transport – it’s a fundamental right of children to health, education, protection, and participation.”

Through this donation, Dainese, AGV, and Rossi are using their platform and prestige to promote a vital global mission—making the world’s roads safer for the next generation. Fans and collectors looking to own the Soleluna Vale46 Anniversario Kit and contribute to this cause should visit Dainese’s official website for auction details and updates.
