IDEA × Nissan Z White

Lightweight perforated leather meets the spirit of NISSAN Z — a special collaboration model crafted on NEGRONI’s iconic IDEA driving shoe.

❶ Essence — Design & Structure

The IDEA is NEGRONI’s signature driving shoe, here reimagined in collaboration with NISSAN Z. Under the supervision of Hiroshi Tamura, former chief product specialist for the GT-R and Z, every detail—materials, color coordination, and emblem hardware—was designed to embody the mood of the Z. Built on a 3E last developed exclusively for the IDEA, it provides a natural fit for a wide range of foot shapes. A bucket insole delivers powerful hold across the entire foot, ensuring both precise operability and long-lasting comfort.

❷ Expression — Materials & Aesthetics

The upper features NEGRONI leather with perforated detailing for breathability and reduced weight. Checker steel leather is applied to the heel, topline, and twin eyelets, creating a durable finish resistant to scratches while adding a crisp, sporty accent. A bright center line expresses the dynamic presence of the Z, while the contrast of textures highlights the shoe’s modern character.

❸ Response — Comfort & Sensitivity

The natural suppleness of NEGRONI leather, combined with the supportive bucket insole, creates a secure yet comfortable fit. The design ensures that every pedal input is transmitted with accuracy, while remaining relaxed enough for daily wear. From spirited sports driving to everyday cruising, the shoe adapts seamlessly to a variety of conditions.

❹ Legacy — History & Heritage

This special edition was born from the longstanding relationship between Hiroshi Tamura—an enthusiastic wearer of the IDEA CORSA for many years—and NEGRONI’s passion for driving footwear. The Z emblem was crafted by a historic badge maker with over 108 years of tradition. Achieving the emblem required months of fine-tuning to within less than a millimeter, with colors delicately poured into ultra-fine grooves, resulting in a precise and enduring symbol.

❺ Vision — Future Outlook

The IDEA × NISSAN Z Special Edition represents the union of automotive and footwear excellence. Designed for both lifestyle and performance, it carries forward the shared philosophy of NEGRONI and NISSAN Z: to celebrate the pure joy of driving and transmit it to future generations.
