Prada PRAX 01 Sneaker
About Prada PRAX 01
The running-inspired sneaker from Prada
The Prada PRAX 01 is a running-inspired luxury sneaker from the Italian house. The silhouette borrows the shape of a classic runner, but is executed in Prada’s materials and finishes: an upper of Re-Nylon, the brand’s recycled nylon, combined with brushed leather and suede, and the characteristic enamel triangle as a logo on the side. Underfoot sits a generous EVA sole with a rubber tread. The shoe is made in Italy.
Re-Nylon, leather and the triangle
The construction combines technology and luxury. Re-Nylon forms the base of the upper, with panels of brushed leather and suede defining the toe, the heel and the sides. The enamel Prada triangle sits centrally on the instep. The thick, two-tone sole, often white with a gum edge, gives the shoe its sporty, modern stance. The whole is neat and recognizable Prada.
Re-Nylon as a sustainable choice
Re-Nylon is the regenerated nylon that Prada developed as a more sustainable alternative, made from recycled material. In the PRAX 01 it forms the core of the upper, placing the model in the house’s more conscious corner without sacrificing its luxury appearance.
Within Prada’s sneaker range
The PRAX 01 sits alongside other Prada sneakers, such as the classic America’s Cup and the Downtown. Where the America’s Cup has the established sail-inspired shape and the Downtown is a low, urban sneaker, the PRAX 01 takes the running shoe as its starting point. Together they show the breadth of Prada’s sneaker offering.
What varies by version
The runner shape, the material mix of Re-Nylon with leather and suede, the triangle and the EVA sole remain the same across versions. What changes is the color palette, from monochrome black and white to earthy combinations. Place two versions next to each other and the construction is the same; the shade determines the rest.
