Veja: The Revolution Of Sustainable Sneakers Since 2005
Veja was founded in 2005 in Paris by Sébastien Kopp and François-Ghislain Morillion with a radical vision to transform the sneaker industry. The founders wanted to create a brand that fully integrated environmental and social concerns into every step of the production chain. The name “Veja,” which means “look” in Portuguese, invites consumers to examine what’s behind their shoes and become aware of the impact of their choices.
Since its beginning, Veja has maintained its commitment to transparency and sustainability. The brand works directly with small producer cooperatives in Brazil to source ecological raw materials like organic cotton, wild Amazonian rubber, and innovative recycled materials. This ethical approach has made Veja a global reference in responsible fashion, proving that it’s possible to combine style, quality, and respect for the planet.

why choose our products
Sustainable Amazonian Rubber Soles
Our soles are made from wild rubber collected by seringueiros (rubber tappers) in the Brazilian Amazon. This practice helps preserve the rainforest by valuing standing trees rather than deforestation. The wild rubber provides excellent grip and flexibility while supporting local communities and maintaining the ecological balance of the Amazon region through sustainable harvesting practices.
shop nowOrganic Cotton And Vegan Materials
Veja uses primarily certified organic cotton grown without pesticides or toxic chemicals in northeastern Brazil. We also incorporate innovative vegan materials like B-mesh (made from recycled plastic bottles) and Jaboatão (a blend of organic cotton and corn waste). These sustainable choices reduce environmental impact while ensuring durability and comfort for everyday wear.
shop nowUpcycled And Recycled Fabric Innovations
Our sneakers feature fabrics made from recycled plastic bottles and other upcycled materials. Each pair incorporates an average of 3 plastic bottles transformed into durable, breathable fabric. This process reduces waste and energy consumption while creating lightweight, high-performance materials that stand up to daily use and maintain their quality over time.
shop nowRepairable Construction And Durable Stitching
Veja sneakers are designed with repairability in mind, featuring reinforced stitching and replaceable components. The construction methods prioritize longevity over disposability, encouraging consumers to maintain and repair rather than frequently replace. This “long-life” approach aligns with our circular economy philosophy and reduces overall environmental impact.
