The VEJA Rio Branco II in Eagle Sun combines sustainability and performance in a lightweight running-inspired sneaker. The breathable Alveomesh upper — a technical fabric made exclusively from 100% recycled polyester — is paired with suede and Organic Traced leather panels, delivering structure without sacrificing comfort. Laces in 100% organic cotton and a lining in 100% recycled polyester complete an upper built with transparency in mind.

Underfoot, VEJA engineered a multi-layer construction that draws on Amazonian rubber, bio-based E.V.A. derived in part from sugar cane, and recycled E.V.A. — across the insole, midsole, and outsole — reducing reliance on fossil-based materials without compromising cushioning or durability. Made in Brazil.
