Design Concept

As NEGRONI’s signature driving shoe, IDEA continues to earn strong support from automotive professionals worldwide. Its timeless lines and ergonomic fit have made it a trusted choice in automotive development environments for more than 15 years. For 2025, the model introduces subtle refinements: a redesigned insole logo and updated packaging elevate the overall presentation while retaining the familiar comfort of earlier generations.

Fit Considerations

Developed on a 3E last unique to IDEA, the fit balances ample width and instep volume to suit a variety of foot shapes. The NEGRONI LEATHER upper combines firm support with supple flexibility, offering moderate softness that reduces fatigue and maintains its form even with extended wear.

Driving Performance

From daily commutes to fundamental sports driving techniques—including three-pedal operation—IDEA delivers a seamless, stress-free driving experience. Its balanced handling has been proven by championship-winning professional racers, underscoring its versatility for both casual and spirited driving.
