Veja x Rick Owens Runner Style 2 V-Knit Trainers

Hallmarked with Rick Owens’s beige double-bar emblem at the heel, these black Runner Style 2 trainers are fashioned in collaboration with Veja from a host of mindfully sourced materials. Crafted with streamlined knitted uppers rendered from recycled plastic bottles, they’re cushioned at the interior for lightweight comfort and are set on soles that use rubber that’s sustainably tapped in the Amazon rainforest.
