HARBORSIDE　 MISTRAL BLACK

A NEGRONI leather sandal that opens the feeling of driving to the freedom of summer.

❶ Essence

The Harborside Sandal translates NEGRONI’s long-established philosophy of driving footwear into a lighter, more relaxed sandal construction.

Its carefully considered strap design holds the foot naturally without excessive restriction, balancing relaxed comfort with a reassuring sense of stability. Although the open-back construction leaves the heel free, the overall thickness and proportions have been precisely adjusted to preserve both the sensation beneath the foot and an intuitive sense of distance from the pedals.

❷ Expression

The upper is crafted from Italian automotive-grade nappa leather, of the kind used in the interiors of luxury vehicles. Its refined matte colour, durability and supple surface combine practical performance with an understated sense of quality.

Ultrasuede is used wherever the sandal touches the foot, creating a smooth and comfortable feel even when worn barefoot. The outsole features a tyre-tread design by the Italian manufacturer SVIG, bringing together the elegance of leather and the functionality expected of driving equipment.

It quietly moves beyond the conventional boundaries of driving footwear.

❸ Response

The first sensation is the openness of a sandal, followed by the stable and assured underfoot feel characteristic of NEGRONI.

The soft leather follows the shape of the foot, while the SVIG tyre-tread sole provides secure and responsive contact with the ground. It feels equally at home on city streets, while travelling, or during the transition from the garage to a drive along the coast.

Within the lightness of a sandal designed to be worn barefoot, it retains the precision demanded by those who take the wheel.

❹ Legacy

For many years, NEGRONI has pursued the structure, comfort and responsiveness required of dedicated driving footwear.

At the heart of this pursuit is not functionality confined solely to driving, but a belief that movement itself should be made more beautiful.

The Harborside Sandal extends this philosophy into summer. While carrying the character of a classic resort sandal, it connects the sensations of pedal, road surface, leather and body, expressing NEGRONI’s driving culture in a new and more open form.

❺ Vision

The Harborside Sandal is designed to make every journey feel lighter and more free.

A coastal road, a hotel entrance, an old harbour town, or the floor of a garage: wherever it is worn, it never demands unnecessary attention, yet leaves a distinct story at the feet.

By dissolving the precision of driving footwear into the openness of a sandal, NEGRONI continues to explore a new style of movement beyond the conventional idea of shoes made simply for driving.
