Dubbed Esplar, Veja’s latest trainers are named after an ethical organisation supporting the farming families that work closely with the brand in Brazil. With a strong focus on fair trade, social and environmental responsibility, the pair is crafted from breathable canvas and set on a natural rubber sole sourced from Seringueiro communities in the Amazon rainforest to save on water, energy and harmful emissions. Footwear doesn’t get much more sustainable than this.
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.'
