Seen here in an earthy autumnal shade of brushed brown and black with a gum sole, these V-10 Suede Shoes from Veja are designed to complement any street-specific urban wardrobe with ease thanks to their laid-back appeal and performance-orientated profile. Made in the Porto Alegre region of Brazil and styled with all-suede uppers, these low-profile sneakers are further defined by their 33% organic cotton and 67% recycled polyester interior jersey-lining, their synthetic sculpted insole and their Amazonian wild-rubber cupsole complete with colour-matched reinforced wrap-around stitching. Perforated toe box detailings ensure day-long circulatory value to suit any active setting, whilst the recessed 7-eyelet flat lacing system is neatly fitted in place to keep the leather ‘Veja’ debossed tongue securely fastened across the arch of the foot for longer. Bold-black ‘V’ shape rubber decals complement both the exterior and interior-facing side walls for a touch of contemporary character, whilst the padded white-on-black ankle collars are signed off with crisp ‘Veja’ print branding for a clean-lined finish that honours the brand’s ode to authentic styling and their admirable ‘less is more’ aesthetic.

Launched in 2005 after a revolutionary and revealing visit to a Chinese manufacturing factory in 2003, Paris based Veja is an against-the-grain footwear company that’s led by its own desire to create better working relationships between consumers and producers. Led by their eco-minded ethos and their passion for economic sustainability, François-Ghislain Morillion and Sébastien Kopp continue to lead Veja in the right direction for yet another season, whilst their visionary sense of creativity continues to send shockwaves through an already well-populated industry.
