Anima LS Black & Red

Carrying forward NEGRONI’s wide-fit philosophy, ANIMA LS is reinterpreted as a versatile driving sneaker, designed to offer lasting comfort for both everyday life and extended driving.
　

❶ Essence — Design & Structure

ANIMA LS inherits the 4E expanded last of the ANIMA line, ensuring natural room for wider foot shapes. Its external derby construction provides stability, while refinements in lining and cushioning deliver a smoother, more sustainable fit. Built for long-duration comfort, it adapts equally well to daily walking and precise pedal work.

❷ Expression — Materials & Aesthetics

The upper is crafted from NEGRONI’s original shrink leather, tanned from Hokkaido hides. The natural grain texture deepens with wear, imparting quiet presence to the clean silhouette. With its understated design, ANIMA LS blends seamlessly into both everyday style and the driving environment.

❸ Response — Comfort & Sensitivity

Firm support is provided at the heel and arch, while the forefoot allows gentle expansion for a relaxed fit. A flat insole maintains steady alignment, keeping fatigue to a minimum during extended wear. When driving, each pedal movement is met with smooth and immediate response.

❹ Legacy — History & Heritage

Developed as a contemporary reinterpretation of NEGRONI’s archive model ANIMA, the LS preserves the trusted wide-fit structure while evolving into a more lifestyle-oriented form. It reflects the brand’s heritage of stability and comfort, translated into versatile modern use.

❺ Vision — Future Outlook

To blur the line between daily living and driving, extending the philosophy of wide-fit design into new contexts. ANIMA LS proposes a new standard where comfort and functionality coexist, offering continuity and refinement for diverse lifestyles.
