Rick Owens x Veja - Venturi Faux-Leather Trainers

Part of an ongoing collaboration between Rick Owens and Veja, these hiking-style black Venturi trainers are crafted from organic cotton, corn waste and polyurethane as an alternative to leather, making them a viable option for vegans. They're lined in fibres using recycled plastic bottles and rest on a slightly raised sole with a percentage of wild rubber.

• COMPOSITION: Faux leather
• Organic-cotton laces
• Faux-suede panels
• Wild-rubber and rice-waste sole

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.
