Volley Sneakers

Inspired by Brazilian volleyball shoes from the 1970s, these slim sneakers are (primarily) made from jet-black organic cotton. Leather details, suede toe caps, and cool zigzag trim at the eyestay gives them great texture. Pair with an all-white outfit for a fun point of contrast.
Upper: cotton; Insole: rubber, E.V.A., cotton, and others; Outsole: rubber, silica mineral, rubber, and others; Lining: polyester

Founded by childhood friends Sébastien Kopp and François-Ghislain Morillion, Veja produces everyday sneakers with strong sustainability cred. The brand sources Amazonian rubber directly from seringueiros (rubber tappers) for its soles, practices radical transparency by publishing everything from material costs to chemical safety test reports, and spends zero dollars on advertising, redirecting those funds to things like higher compensation for laborers. The designs range from classic to retro, all with their signature “V” emblazoned on the side.
