Since 2005, VEJA has been creating sneakers in a different way, mixing social projects, economic justice, and ecological materials.
VEJA uses Brazilian and Peruvian organic cotton for the canvas and laces, Amazonian rubber for the soles, and various innovative materials made from recycled plastic bottles or recycled polyester.
VEJA sneakers are produced in high-standard factories in Brazil and Portugal. The logistics of our VEJA stores in Europe and e-commerce are managed by Log’ins, a professional and social inclusion company.
The organic cotton we use at VEJA is grown by farmer's associations in Brazil and Peru who harvest it with respect for people and the environment. Read more
