Since 2005, VEJA has been creating sneakers with a difference, combining social projects, economic responsibility and ecological materials. Brazilian and Peruvian organic cotton is used for the fabric and laces, while rubber from the Amazon region and various innovative materials such as recycled plastic bottles are used for the soles. In addition, VEJA sneakers are manufactured in quality Brazilian factories.

Simplifying the tanning process limits the use of chemicals and energy, and reduces water consumption by about 40% and the use of salt by 80%. In addition, the water is reusable after tanning.
