adidas x prada - the A+P LUNA ROSSA sneaker, crafted for sailing

following its first collaboration featuring an adidas superstar sneaker reinterpreted with prada’s expert craftsmanship, the two companies are back with their second iteration of their partnership. this time, adidas is bringing its expertise to prada in the A+P LUNA ROSSA 21 silhouette which has been crafted for the sport of sailing, in particular for the luna rossa prada pirelli team.

for the A+P LUNA ROSSA 21 silhouette, prada and adidas have taken the new AC75 luna rossa boat as an inspiration. celebrating a shared legacy of sporting excellence and designed as an extension of the athlete’s body, the silhouette features a sleek, lightweight look and feel, matched with flexible barefoot stability. while the performance-focused shoes will be worn in competition by the luna oossa prada pirelli team, a lifestyle version will be available for purchase on december 9, 2020.

the A+P LUNA ROSSA 21 silhouette combines innovation and sustainability, taking a step forward towards both brand’s commitments to the environment. the upper part of the shoes is made of PRIMEGREEN, a series of high-performance recycled materials, which is then complimented by a hydrophobic E-TPU outer shell, providing flexible, breathable support and preventing water from penetrating it. its ergonomically-designed EVA tongue and perforated, soft, synthetic-suede inner saddle highlight its sailing performance capabilities. furthermore, the shoe features a perforated BOOST midsole as well as a wrap-around outsole that provides elevated protection, durability and movement freedom.

the specially crafted laces which have been designed to be narrow at the bottom, enabling speed lacing, and wider at the top, preventing tied knots from coming open easily during competition. the silhouette then comes packaged in a sleek co-branded box that slips inside a custom water-resistant pouch-bag.
