‘V-10 Leather’ sneakers

White ‘V-10 Leather’ lace-up sneakers from Veja. Crafted from a leather, this lace-up pair sits on a cream rubber sole made of organic and recycled materials and is enriched by an embossed logo on the tongue, perforations, organic cotton laces and a light pink V patch made of rubber and rice waste. The mesh inner lining made from recycled materials was developed to acquire a better resistance to friction. The organic-sourced and recycled insole is made from sugar cane, Amazon rubber, organic cotton and recycled EVA foam.

The leather comes from farms in Rio Grande do Sul and is L.W.G. Gold certified by the Leather Working Group, which promotes sustainable practices that have a positive impact on the environment in tanneries.
