A definitive silhouette in luxury sport style, the America’s Cup sneaker was originally engineered in 1997 for the Luna Rossa sailing team. This 2012 iteration stays true to the archival "PS0906" architecture, blending high-gloss patent leather with heavy-duty technical mesh. Designed for high-performance sailing but adopted as a streetwear icon, this pair represents the pinnacle of the Prada Linea Rossa (Red Line) philosophy: fusing technical nautical utility with a refined, urban aesthetic.
The sneaker features the signature "beyond the line" profile, characterized by its curved, ergonomic rubber sole and multi-paneled upper. This specific 2012 release is distinguished by its tonal black-on-black construction, highlighted by the vibrant red Linea Rossa branding that has remained a symbol of avant-garde sport luxury for over two decades.
