Veja, the French footwear and accessories brand was founded in 2004. The brand rose to international prominence in 2019 due to its eco-friendly Condor sneakers. It has become a staple for mixing social projects, sustainable materials, and social justice.
Winning the highly sought-after Fair For Life certification from Ecocert, the French Watchdog group, has cemented their stance as a company to look out for in terms of ethically sourced and environmentally-friendly sneakers.
Unlike other renowned sneaker brands, the French brand doesn't advertise their products or gift them to celebrities for publicity, rather prefers for their sneakers to be recognized for their quality craftsmanship. Their enviable work ethic has made the brand loved by celebrities such as Meghan Markle, Kate Middleton, and Ben Affleck who have been spotted on various occasions wearing Veja sneakers.
Below is a carefully curated list of some of the best sneakers produced by Veja.
