Story
Ethically built, consciously made kicks
In 2005, Veja had one simple mission: to make sneakers better. That means promoting social and economic justice for their workers and using ecological materials to reduce their carbon footprint. Rounded out with stellar design, Veja sneakers are, by all accounts, better. Built with plenty of go-with-everything style from materials sourced from farms located in the south of Brazil, the Campo is a stylish low-top that you’ll feel great wearing, and great about wearing.

About Veja
Veja means “look” in Portuguese. It’s a name that came about after Veja’s founders, Sebastien Kopp and François-Ghislain Morillion, took a look behind the curtain of the sneaker industry and decided they could do better than the status quo. They realized that by skipping the marketing costs of bigger brands, they could build Veja sneakers from organic cotton canvas, sustainable leather, wild rubber, and mesh from upcycled plastic bottles. They could offer fairer pay for workers and attain a B-Corp certification for sustainability. In other words, they could make shoes that are better in every way: for the planet, for the people who make them, and for the person wearing them, too. Since launching the first pair of Veja shoes in 2005, the brand has done exactly that, and the company now boasts a wide lineup of stylish, sustainably made footwear.
