In pursuit of a sustainable future, Rick Owens partners with eco-conscious footwear label, Veja, to create these white Venturi hiking sneakers, which are made from biodegradable faux leather. They’re shaped with comfortable L-foam cushioning and a textured sole made from a recycled blend of E.V.A. and wild rubber sourced from the Amazonian forest.
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.'
