Rio Branco Alveomesh Nautico Sneakers

Editor's Notes

Veja's environmentally friendly sneakers are made from sustainable raw materials sourced from organic farms and ecological agriculture without any chemicals, a testament to the co-founders' commitment to sustainability. This Rio Branco pair was made out exclusively of recycled polyester rubber; meanwhile, the suede is made from the underside of bovine leather previously brushed to make it softer and more flexible.
