Veja Rio-Branco sneaker: the sustainable retro runner made of plastic bottles
The Veja Rio-Branco stands out for its classic, timeless look, making it the retro runner among the popular Veja sneaker models. A nifty feature: there are logo brandings on the toe and heel patches. There's also a distinctive V-application on the sides, made from rice waste and rubber. On top, water-resistant leather or suede overlays support the iconic Trainer Vibe.
Wondering what makes the shoes so sustainable? Simple: from the laces to the outsole, the kicks are made from a combo of eco-friendly materials. In the process, the laces are 100% organic cotton. The Veja Rio-Branco's signature Alveomesh upper is made from recycled plastic bottles. The studded sole is made of natural rubber from the Amazon rainforest region and is Fairtrade certified.
Sustainable and fair from the outside but also from the inside: because the sneaker's inner sole is composed of sugar cane, organic cotton, natural rubber and recycled ethylene vinyl acetate, while the tech lining made of 100% recycled polyester ensures a comfortable foot climate. Through this innovative mix of materials, the brand's products help minimize the consumption of finite resources and reduce environmental impact. We at Asphaltgold say: Thumbs up for this effort!
