Veja’s white and khaki-green leather V-Lock trainers are shaped to a minimalist silhouette ideal for off-duty dressing. They’re accented with a suede V-logo and heel panel, fasten with three velcro straps and sit on a sole crafted from wild rubber sustainably sourced in the Amazon rainforest.
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 18 to 22 % 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.'
