Veja's 'Esplar' sneakers are named after the ethical organization that supports local organic cotton farming families. This pair is made from smooth leather and set on rubber soles responsibly sourced from the Amazon rainforest - the only place in the world where rubber trees grow in the wild. They have logo-printed suede heel tabs and are finished with the label's signature 'V' stitched into each side.
A cult destination for trainers, VEJA is a sustainability success story. Sourcing natural rubber directly from farmers in the Amazon rainforest, VEJA prides itself on transparency, fair trade practices and ecologically-minded agriculture, ‘infusing each stage of production with a positive impact’. Proof that style and a social conscience can co-exist.
'VEJA soles are made with 20-30% natural rubber. purchased directly from seringueiro (rubber tapping) communities in the Amazon forest. VEJA uses a high proportion of organic cotton in the canvas, laces and uppers of many of its models.'
