Unisex Leather Gym Shoes

The name says it all: Veja, the name of the French shoe label, founded in 2005, translates to a short form of “Look at this!” in Portuguese. This is exactly what founders Sébastien Kopp and François-Ghislain Morillion do. They look for high-quality raw materials and sustainable processes in their production: Veja has its leathers tanned with vegetable pigments that avoid water pollution; the cotton used comes from organic farming. Veja’s partners in Brazil use traditional and sustainable ways of extracting natural rubber to protect the Amazon rainforest. In return, Veja pays prices that lie significantly higher than the standard world market prices. Besides, Veja complies with fair working conditions. To prove all this, Kopp and Morillion make the entire production chain transparent. All in all, Veja is a true pioneer in the highly competitive sneaker market.
