What you see on the background of sneakers

Leather sneakers ESPLAR FULL-BLACK is a pair of VEJA's standard series "ESPLAR" with all shoelaces in black. The name ESPLAR is named after a Brazilian NGO that provides technical support to organic cotton farmers. It is a VEJA-like naming that places great importance on the material and values ​​the producer.

Like white sneakers, black sneakers are versatile shoes that are easy to match with anything. In addition to the fact that dirt is not conspicuous and you can wear it anytime, it is not too rough, so it is also useful when you want to wear leather shoes but want to wear shoes that are as comfortable as possible today. With sneakers that are simple and durable, and the more you wear them, the more fun you will go out.

VEJA, which means "see" in Portuguese. The French sneaker brand has the idea of ​​asking the question, "What's on the other side of the shoe?" and then turning to the "other side" of manufacturing. Although it is a shoe that is worn out by all means, VEJA has a selection of materials, a production background where the creator can be seen, and there are people's encounters and stories.

Focus on material selection

Generally, rubber farmers sell rubber itself and primary products have low added value, but by directly collecting and collecting the collected rubber at the farm, direct transactions without intermediaries make it reasonable. We have secured a way to get compensation. In addition, since the material rubber is refined within the same day as it is collected, it is said to be a good quality rubber product. Natural rubber is mixed with a coagulant within 1 hour of collection, filtered, and formed into a sheet to prevent oxidation of the rubber, improve its purity, and make it comfortable to wear.

The upper material is vegetable acacia tannin leather, and we consider the environment as much as possible. VEJA also has a vision for the future that eventually aims to manage a series of production processes such as raising and processing cows in-house. In addition, we use organic cotton grown in northern Brazil as the cotton material used for the insoles and parts, and procure cotton from producers in the state of Ceara in northern Brazil in accordance with fair trade rules. In addition, we do not have an extra inventory of organic cotton materials, and we manufacture and supply products within the range of 15 tons per year.

Bright production background

“VEJA”, a shoe brand that was born in 2005, is a brand that has many fans all over the world, making sneakers that are simple, clean, and functional by making them visible to producers and consumers. The founders François Ghislain Morillion and others found VEJA because they met a factory that produces sports sneakers such as the popular volleyball shoes in Brazil and their shoes. Manufactured by a sneaker factory founded in 1970. From children to adults, we continue to make basic shoes that are loved by Brazilians of all ages.

VEJA sneakers, which are procured by local Brazilian craftsmen by hand, are assembled by hand one by one, and are distributed to the world every year. French well-established brands and select shops are credible and attention-grabbing brands that embrace the design of VEJA and their commitment to manufacturing, and incorporate products.
