Veja SDU Rec (Nautico / Pierre)

VEJA's vegan SDU sneakers are not your ordinary kicks, as the Alveomesh upper is made from recycled PET bottles with synthetic leather overlays out of Brazil, plus the brand used sugar cane for the midsole and wild and fairly traded rubber as well as rice waste for the outsoles. These VEJA shoes are produced in a high standard International Labour Organization factory in Brazil. In addition, to make VEJA Santos Dumont Rec look and feel different, the design smoothly blends minimalist aesthetics with innovative technologies.
