Prada Sport SAMPLE Down Parka

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 is an early production sample produced in Italy, as can be seen from the singular white factory tag. This is most likely from the early 2000s when Prada experimented with expanding the Sport line into a wider range of garments. This piece features a soft exterior with down lining for warmth. There are 2 chest pockets and 2 standard pockets with more compartments on the interior. The fleece-lined hood is removable and the signature Prada red tab sits at the hem to round off this sample.
