The Prada Linea Rossa Active 01US Sunglasses bring together Italian luxury and athletic performance in a pillow-shaped frame that works as well on the trail as it does on city streets. Part of Prada’s sport-inspired Linea Rossa collection—first launched in 1997 and rooted in competitive sailing heritage—these sunglasses feature the brand’s signature red stripe logo on the temples, a design element that’s become a cultural icon in luxury sportswear.
The 01US Active model is constructed from durable nylon with a full-rim design that balances lightweight comfort with structural integrity. The frames feature rubberized temple tips and non-slip nose pads that keep the sunglasses secure during movement, whether you’re running, cycling, or just navigating a busy commute. Available in 59mm and 55mm lens widths with a 19mm bridge and 145mm temples, the pillow shape offers generous coverage and suits round or oval face shapes particularly well.
Multiple lens options let you customize for your environment: polarized grey lenses cut glare on water or pavement, mirrored finishes reduce intense sunlight, and specialized “tuning” lenses enhance contrast for specific activities. All lenses provide 100% UVA/UVB protection. The frames are prescription-ready, so you can add single-vision or progressive lenses through your optician.
Linea Rossa—Italian for “Red Line”—was born from Prada’s partnership with the Luna Rossa sailing team in the America’s Cup. That red stripe, originally seen on high-tech sailing gear and nylon sportswear in the late ’90s, signaled a shift in luxury fashion: performance materials and athletic design could coexist with sophistication. Today, the collection remains true to that vision, using lightweight technical materials and ergonomic design while never sacrificing style.
The 01US Active sits in the sweet spot between sport and everyday wear. The matte black rubber and grey finishes are understated enough for casual settings, while the grippy construction and vented design details hint at the frame’s athletic DNA. It’s a versatile pair that transitions from outdoor activity to coffee stops without missing a beat.
