Description
Veja is rewriting the path of our favourite footwear by looking beyond mass manufacture to more sustainable, eco friendly methods. The Rio Branco trainers are a product of this process; they see a hexamesh upper (that’s a mix of organic cotton and recycled polyester, by the way) with panels of suede and leather and set on a wild rubber sole (sourced from the Amazonian forest, no less). They’re topped off with the label’s signature V patched to the side, so there’s no question about where they’re from.Veja mesh and leather trainersMesh and leatherLace up fasteningRound toe, branding to the side, suede and leather panelling, ridged soleWipe with a clean, dry clothUpper: LeatherLining: FabricSole: Rubber
