Collaboration model boldly incorporating the Fuji Speedway course layout on the side vamps
The Grand Prix Hi Top Fuji (G.P.HI FUJI) is a collaboration model that boldly incorporates the Fuji Speedway course layout on the side vamps, based on the Grand Prix Hi Top, which was based on a racing shoe design motif from the 1960s. Many iconic cornering lines are expressed by leather piping. The result is a modern, speedy atmosphere.
The wooden pattern uses the new GRS last, which fits the entire foot three-dimensionally with an S-curve structure. The GRS last is designed to provide a sporty driving experience with a sense of tension, in addition to everyday driving. In addition, the uniquely developed bucket insole provides a three-dimensional heel and arch hold, creating a smooth and comfortable fit that is easy to incorporate into everyday lifestyle situations. As with all Negroni products, the sole can be replaced and restoration services can be performed at the factory.
In addition to the new color, three other colors, "CARBON FIBRE" and "TITANIUM WHITE," are available.
Ignition Red & Carbon Fiber" is an eye-catching new color with passionate coloring.
IGNITION RED & CARBON FIBER", which will be released at the same time as the final SUPER GT race in 2021, is an eye-catching new color with a passionate coloring. The use of Tuscan oil suede, which boasts a beautiful, dull, flame-like coloration, contrasted with matte carbon fiber, expresses the racing spirit that resides on the race circuit.
Comment from Takayuki Sakai, Fuji Speedway
Collaboration with Negroni, a longtime dream of mine
It is with great emotion that I am able to announce my long-time dream of collaborating with Negroni. I believe that all the elements of the collaboration, from concept to design and branding, have matched each other, resulting in an unprecedented and wonderful collaboration.
Negroni has built a solid position as a driving shoe from Japan, and I think it is a great brand that is supported by a wide range of people, from the average car enthusiast (ensou) to top drivers. In addition, I think Negroni is recognized not only for its functionality as driving shoes, but also as fashion shoes with a high design ability to produce a fashionable look on the feet.
In the future, we would be happy to collaborate on a variety of products that add a motorsports element to our shoes. We hope that this wonderful collaboration will lead to the expansion of Negroni fans and Fuji Speedway fans, and bring smiles to the faces of our customers.
Shuhei Miyabe, Brand Director, Negroni commented
Ignition Red has the energy and strength to light a flame in the heart.
I am very pleased to present here the new color "Ignition Red & Carbon Fiber" for the final round of this season's SUPER GT season.
Looking back, this collaboration project was in the middle of April last year in 2020. I remember that we started to plan this project in the middle of April 2020, when the Japanese racing scene was forced to stop almost all activities due to an unprecedented virus. During those uncertain days, I asked Mr. Sakai of Fuji Speedway, who I had known for a long time, if he would like to collaborate with me in creating something, dreaming of the days when we can truly enjoy racing again. This was the beginning of this project.
Since then, a year and a half has passed, the world is gradually recovering, and people's love and passion for motorsports have grown deeper. These shoes were developed with the hope that the same wonderful day would come. And this Ignition Red has the energy and strength to light a flame in the heart.
Once you put your feet in these shoes, you will truly feel the passion of Negroni and Fuji Speedway."
