Not only do Veja shoes have style, they’ve got eco credentials too. Champions of fair trade manufacturing, the brand’s do-good attitude ensures all its materials are consciously sourced, shipped and manufactured. This new way of thinking has lead to innovations in design and materials. They developed B-Mesh, a light, breathable trainer upper made from polyester and recycled plastic bottles. Then there’s Veja’s tilapia leather – a strong tropical fish skin used instead of traditional leathers. But perhaps one of the most noteworthy innovations yet is the brand’s LRT (Liquid Rubber Technology); a technological and social innovation that generates more income for native rubber producers and greater elasticity for your undersoles. The perfect feel-good, look-good trainer combination (with a vegan trainer in production too).

Known for their paired-back, minimalistic approach, the Veja Esplar is a staple. A classic low-top trainer, its gained attention for its soft leather upper, breathable organic cotton lining and simple V-stitch design. Oh, and did we mention that everything from its material to manufacturing is eco-friendly? Sneaker heads love it, and so will you.
