Veja is rewriting the path of our favourite footwear by scrapping mass manufacture for more sustainable and eco-friendly methods. The
Roraima trainers are such a pair; they see a textured suede upper set on a wild rubber sole (sourced from the Amazonian forest, no less), and even the lining contains a percentage of recycled cotton. Plus, for those who find bulky shoes uncomfortably restrictive, the tongue has been left unpadded.
