Rio Branco Ripstop And Suede Trainers

Veja’s khaki-green Rio Branco trainers are made from ripstop, a durable fabric woven with a checked pattern that prevents tearing. They’re layered with suede, leather and wild-rubber panels, including the label’s hallmark V-appliqué, then finished with a satisfying chunky midsole and orange pebbled rubber grips.

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