VEJA means "see" in Portuguese. A sneaker brand from France that asks "what is on the" other side "of shoes?" And hopes that it will be an opportunity to turn to the "other side" of manufacturing. Although shoes are inevitably consumed, VEJA has a production background where you can see the particular materials and creators, and there are people-to-people encounters and stories.

Commitment to material selection

The sole material is natural rubber in the center of the Amazon, which is the only rubber tree in the world that grows naturally. It is a natural rubber that can be continuously collected by collectors without damaging the trees by extracting liquid latex from the trees.

Generally, rubber farmers sell the rubber itself, and the primary products have low added value, but by refining and shipping the collected rubber as it is at the farmer, it is appropriate for direct transactions without intervening brokers. We have a way to get paid. In addition, it is said that it will be a good quality rubber product because the rubber material is refined on the same day it is collected. Natural rubber is mixed with a coagulant within 1 hour of collection, filtered, and made into a sheet to prevent the rubber from oxidizing, increasing its purity and making it comfortable and supple.

The lining uses flannel material made from recycled cotton and polyester for a soft feel. The insoles are made with the aim of making a pair that is better for both the earth and the wearer by constantly searching for materials, such as adding wild rubber and recycled EVA to the material to reduce weight.
