A chunky sneaker that combines trendy design, functionality and an eco-friendly footprint into one. The upper is made from flannel made from 30% recycled plastic bottles and 70% recycled cotton, while the suede comes from leather scraps from a farm in Rio Grande do Sul. The iconic V on the shoe is made from rubber and rice waste, the midsole is made from sugarcane, the outsole combines Amazonian rubber with rice waste and the insole is made from sugarcane and recycled plastic bottles. If anyone claims that sustainable yet trendy footwear is impossible, recall the Veja Venturi - a perfect example of an eco-friendly pair of shoes for everyone.

Suede: leather cut from the back, while the fibers remain on the surface, suede is less prone to damage than nubuck.

Textile: is a lightweight material, which is offered in a very wide color scale and is mainly used for summer footwear.
Sole
Rubber: a material that is very easy to maintain and you will appreciate it especially in rainy weather.
