Veja V-10 Mesh
Veja is one of the world’s premier sneaker brands and a champion of sustainable urban cool. They source their natural rubber directly from Seringueiro communities in the Amazon rainforest, emphasising the importance of fair trade and ecologically conscious production methods.
Their V-10 model features a B-Mesh upper, which is a light, breathable and water-proof fabric made from 100% recycled polyester, obtained from recycled plastic bottles. 3 plastic bottles are needed to make one pair of sneakers. The leather and suede used in the panels also comes from farms in Rio Grande do Sul, and is tanned in Brazil according to REACH standards. Not only is the use of water reasoned during the process, all tanneries supplying VEJA leather are also certified L.W.G. Gold by the Leather Working Group, which promotes sustainable practices.
The rest of each sneaker is crafted from a host of other eco-friendly materials as well, including:
- 100% organic cotton laces.
- Logo V made of rubber and rice waste (22%).
- Soft inner lining made of organic cotton (33%) and recycled plastic bottles (67%).
- Insole made of sugar cane, amazonian rubber, organic cotton and recycled Ethylene-Vinyl Acetate.
- 59% bio-sourced and recycled outsole, made from amazonian rubber (24%), rice waste (23%) and recycled rubber (12%).
Made in Brazil, in the region of Porto Alegre
