V-Knit is a knitting technique that provides elasticity and adaptability to the feet. It is knitted in one piece to reduce layering and stitching. The sneaker is light and comfortable while the foot can breathe and stay well supported. This technique allows diminishing material waste because it doesn’t have to be cut at any moment, therefore, there is no waste (100% recycled polyester). Made in Brazil.

The Pebax RNew is a 100% bio-sourced material used as upper inserts. It ensures the foot stability and the runner’s safety (100% ricinus oil). Made in Brazil.

The ThermoPlastic Polyurethane is a film glued on the sneaker. It provides additional seamless reinforcement, yet very light.

The L-Foam is the VEJA Running technology. Made out of 30% natural latex and 70% synthetic latex, the cushioning insert brings comfort and protection against vibrations (30% natural latex and 70% synthetic latex). Made in Brazil
