Rio Branco Alveomesh And Suede Trainers

Veja’s white and beige Rio Branco trainers are crafted from Alveomesh, a textured fabric knitted from plastic bottles which are recycled into durable fibres. The upper also consists of water-repellent suede, leather and wild-rubber panels, while the lining is made from recycled polyester blended with organic cotton.
