Prada Sport Ballistic Nylon Jacket

The Prada Sport line was launched in the late 90s with the intent of producing athleisure garments with materials and shapes that assimilated the features of ‘technical mountain clothes’. The signature Prada red tag later cemented itself in streetwear culture throughout the 2000s. Only the first few seasons of the Prada Sport line were ever featured on the runway, showcasing a beautiful range of highly technical pieces that clearly separated Prada Sport from the athletic diffusion lines of competitors. The earlier seasons are a favourite of many Prada collectors and design enthusiasts as it displays the perfect blend between technical and sophisticated design that was achieved by Prada in this era. 

This particular piece encapsulates how Prada incorporated the sophistication of their mainline designs into the functional approach of the Sport line. This jacket is constructed from a durable ballistic nylon material which has aged and faded beautifully over time, and polyester insulation. It features two fleece-lined hand pockets on the chest, one with a Prada retractable clip attached inside (not working). There are also ventilation zips on the underarms and woven patches on the elbows and RECCO rescue technology. It has adjustable cuffs with nylon lining to keep rain and snow out, an interior pocket and 2 zips at the back that allow the hem to be raised. It’s rounded off with the signature Prada red tab branding by the cuff. 

Good overall condition with signs of age and some marks on the exterior and interior
