Esplar Leather Sneakers

Subtly ticking off the trends for logo-mania and ‘90s sportswear, the Esplar sneakers from Veja are sustainably crafted from ecological materials.

Named after a Brazilian NGO that offers technical support to organic cotton farmers in northern Brazil, these sneakers feature soles made from sustainable Amazonian wild rubber and an organic cotton lining. Surprisingly adaptable, the tonal white palette will anchor any outfit – try them with a midi-skirt or your everyday jeans.

In 2003, French friends Sébastien Kopp and François-Ghislain Morillion met with Brazilian organic cotton farmers and wild rubber tappers in the Amazon with a view to creating a sustainable sneaker label. Veja launched in Paris two years later. The hit label - christened by editor, royal and hype beast alike - produces chic-not-shouty sneakers that are traceably responsibly sourced.
