White ‘Esplar’ sneakers from Veja. Made from leather, this lace-up model features a black logo printed on the tongue and organic cotton laces. The mesh inner lining made from recycled materials was developed to acquire a better resistance to friction. The organic-sourced and recycled insole is made from sugar cane, Amazon rubber, organic cotton and recycled EVA foam. It is set on a cream rubber sole made of organic and recycled materials. Named in tribute to a Brazilian NGO the label has been working with since 2005. Esplar (Rural Planning and Consulting Association) supports organic and family farming in the Nordeste region.
