Product Introduction

Product Overview

The Prada America’s Cup Sneakers in Aviation Blue/Ink (Style: 4E3400_93W_F05MJ_F_G000) reinterpret Prada’s iconic late-1990s sailing-inspired sneaker in a distinctive blue color combination. The design pairs glossy patent leather with technical fabric, combining a streamlined athletic silhouette with Prada Linea Rossa branding and a lightweight rubber sole.

Design & Materials

The upper combines patent leather and technical fabric in the official Aviation Blue/Ink colorway, creating contrast between glossy leather surfaces and technical textile sections. Prada lists calfskin as the main material, reinforcing the distinctive combination of luxury leather and performance-inspired fabric that defines the America’s Cup design.

Signature details include Prada Linea Rossa branding on the tongue and sole, along with the model’s characteristic streamlined panel construction. Underfoot, the sneaker features a lightweight and flexible 35 mm rubber sole finished with a rubber tread for the distinctive low-profile sportswear appearance associated with the America’s Cup line.

Size Recommendation

Prada does not provide a specific sizing-up or sizing-down recommendation for this particular America’s Cup configuration. Choosing your usual Prada sneaker size is recommended as the safest starting point, while foot width and your preferred amount of interior room should also be considered.

• Choose your usual Prada sneaker size as the safest starting point.
• Consider both foot length and width when selecting between two sizes.
• Allow sufficient room through the toe box for comfortable everyday wear.
• Compare the size with another pair of Prada sneakers you already own when possible.

No specific model sizing information or official recommendation to size up or down is provided for this style, so Prada’s footwear size guide and your usual Prada sneaker size should be used as the primary references.
