Veja Rio Branco (Poker / White)

VEJA's Rio Branco sneakers are not your ordinary kicks, as the Alveomesh upper as well as the tech lining are made from recycled polyester; the former has been finished with cowhide suede overlays tanned in Brazil in compliance with REACH standards, plus there's wild rubber from the Amazonian forest used for the outsole. These VEJA shoes are produced in a high standard International Labour Organization factory in Brazil. In addition, to make VEJA Rio Branco look and feel different, the design smoothly blends minimalist aesthetics with innovative technologies.
