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.
Built for Active Lifestyles
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.
The Linea Rossa Legacy
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.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are the Prada Linea Rossa Active 01US sunglasses prescription-ready?
Yes, the Active 01US frames are fully compatible with prescription lenses. The full-rim nylon construction can accommodate single-vision, progressive, or reader lenses. During checkout, you can upload your prescription and select your preferred lens material and coatings. Most Prada Linea Rossa sunglasses support prescription customization.
Do these sunglasses offer UV protection?
Yes, all Prada Linea Rossa Active 01US lenses provide 100% UVA and UVB protection (UV400). This blocks harmful ultraviolet rays and protects your eyes during outdoor activities. Polarized variants add glare reduction, while mirrored and gradient options offer additional light management for bright conditions.
What face shapes work best with the pillow frame shape?
The pillow shape of the 01US—with its gently rounded rectangular silhouette—flatters round and oval face shapes particularly well by adding subtle angles. The balanced proportions and medium-to-large coverage also work for heart-shaped faces. The frame is available in 59mm and 55mm lens widths to accommodate different head sizes.
What does the red stripe on Prada Linea Rossa mean?
The red stripe logo is the signature of Prada's Linea Rossa ("Red Line") collection, first introduced in 1997. It was inspired by Prada's sponsorship of the Luna Rossa sailing team in the America's Cup and symbolizes the fusion of high-performance sportswear with luxury Italian design. The stripe appears on the temples of these sunglasses.
Are these sunglasses suitable for sports and active use?
Yes, the Active 01US is specifically designed for movement. It features rubberized temple tips and non-slip nose pads for a secure fit during physical activity, plus lightweight nylon construction that won't weigh you down. Polarized lens options reduce glare for cycling or running, and the vented design minimizes fogging. They're built for endurance sports but styled for everyday wear.
What's the difference between the 59mm and 55mm sizes?
The 59mm version offers a larger lens front designed for wider faces and provides more coverage, while the 55mm is a slightly smaller fit for narrower faces. Both share the same 19mm bridge width and 145mm temple length. The pillow shape and features remain identical—size choice depends on your face width and preferred coverage.

Read the full comparison
Prada Linea Rossa Active 01US vs. Lifestyle Alternatives
Choosing between Prada Linea Rossa models often comes down to how you'll use them. The Active 01US is purpose-built for movement—rubberized temples, non-slip nose pads, and performance lens options make it the go-to for runners, cyclists, and anyone who needs sunglasses that stay put during activity. But it's not a one-trick frame: the pillow shape and matte finishes are understated enough for daily wear.
Active 01US vs. Lifestyle 01TS
The Lifestyle 01TS shares the same '01' series DNA but skips the sport-specific features. You get a lighter, sleeker frame that's better suited to business-casual or everyday settings where you don't need the extra grip. The 01TS starts at $191.46 (vs. $221.20 for the Active), making it a more budget-friendly option if you're prioritizing style over performance. However, if you run, bike, or spend time in high-glare environments, the Active's rubberized construction and polarized lens options justify the premium.
Active 01US vs. Lifestyle 54TS
The Lifestyle 54TS ($179.81–$275.80) offers a different frame shape in the same price ballpark. It's another Lifestyle model, so it lacks the Active's grip features, but the shape variation might suit your face better. If the pillow silhouette of the 01US doesn't feel right, the 54TS is worth trying—it still carries the red stripe branding and Prada's quality construction.
Our take: If you're active—running, cycling, hiking, or just on the move—the 01US Active is the smarter buy. The rubberized temples and nose pads make a real difference when you're sweating or in motion, and the polarized options handle glare better than standard lenses. If your sunglasses mostly ride on top of your head between coffee shops, save a few dollars and go Lifestyle. But for true versatility—sport to street—the Active 01US delivers.
