Product Introduction

Product Overview

The Prada America’s Cup Sneaker in Anthracite Ink (Style: 4E3400_3LNG_F0YB4_F_G000) reinterprets the iconic sailing-inspired silhouette with a combination of metallic leather and breathable Bike fabric. Finished in the official Anthracite/Ink colorway, the sneaker retains the distinctive lines of the original America’s Cup design while adding enameled metal eyelets, a Prada Linea Rossa tongue label, and a substantial rubber sole with an optical lens pattern.

Design & Materials

The upper combines soft yet durable metallic calfskin leather with innovative breathable Bike fabric, creating contrasting textures across the Anthracite/Ink construction. The layered material treatment emphasizes the technical character of the America’s Cup silhouette while retaining the streamlined lines inspired by the original sneaker developed for the Luna Rossa crew.

The sneaker features enameled metal eyelets, cotton laces, a lace-up closure, and a signature Prada Linea Rossa label applied to the tongue. Underfoot, a lightweight expanded rubber sole features an optical lens pattern, complemented by rubber tread inserts carrying the same visual motif. The sole measures approximately 35 mm in height, while a removable leather-covered insole completes the interior construction.
