Esplar Trainers

Based on adult styles, these Veja Esplar trainers for children are made from ethically sourced and fairly traded leather and rubber. They are designed with a reinforced sole and built-up toe and have two hook-and-loop fasteners for easy slip-on comfort. Named after a Brazilian NGO that offers technical support to organic cotton farmers in northern Brazil, this style was launched in 2011.

A cult destination for trainers, VEJA is a sustainability success story.

Proof that style and a social conscience can co-exist.
