Who we are?
The VEJA Project
Since 2005, VEJA has been creating sneakers in a different way, mixing social projects, economic justice, and ecological materials.
VEJA uses Brazilian and Peruvian organic cotton for the canvas and laces, Amazonian rubber for the soles, and various innovative materials made from recycled plastic bottles or recycled polyester.
VEJA sneakers are produced in high-standard factories in Brazil and Portugal. The logistics of our VEJA stores in Europe and e-commerce are managed by Log’ins, a professional and social inclusion company.

More than 2600 tons of Amazonian rubber have been purchased from 2004 until the end of 2022.
VEJA buys it at 3.5 times the market price. Read more
The latest news of the VEJA project
VEJA’s story: Behind the Amazonian rubber.
19 years ago, VEJA’s founders decided to travel to the Amazon rainforest and meet the producers of wild rubber in person, the same rubber we use in every one of our VEJA soles.
