The ‘Rio Branco’ sneakers from Veja are crafted from Alveomesh, a material derived from cotton and recycled bottles, and feature suede trims. A beige logo patch produced from rubber and rice waste adorns the design. The mesh inner lining, made from recycled materials, was developed to acquire a better resistance to friction. The organic-sourced and recycled insole consists of sugar cane, Amazon rubber, organic cotton, and recycled EVA. The sneakers are set on a rubber sole made from organic and recycled materials and are athletic and casual.
