‘Esplar’ suede sneakers

Brown ‘Esplar’ sneakers from Veja Kids. Made of chrome-free leather with cream suede trims, this lace-up pair features velcro fastening, embossed logo on the tongue, the brand’s signature V patch made of rice waste and leather heel counter in navy. 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. It is set on a cream rubber sole made of organic and recycled materials. Named in tribute to a Brazilian NGO the label has been working with since 2005. ESPLAR (Rural Planning and Consulting Association) supports organic and family farming in the Nordeste region.
