These trainers from Paris-based VEJA feature a streamlined design with a robust outsole made of wild Amazonian rubber. The upper in water-repellent suede with details in leather, and man-made materials creates a dimensional look, while the cushioning in latex provides superior comfort for all-day wear.
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 20-30% 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.'
