Sneakers have become the go-to summer shoe over the years. With athleisure taking off and changing style standards all over the world, it can be a challenge to find an ethically produced pair of sneaks. For all the comfort junkies everywhere, you have to check out Veja before taking another step!

Just when you think ethical fashion can't get any better, Veja releases a line of sneakers to challenge your weekend wardrobe formula. Veja's Classic V-10  kicks go with any and everything — either paired with a comfy weekend cardigan and t-shirt dress or an athleisure-inspired, business casual look! These minimalistic sneakers give sustainable style a new name and will make a believer out of anyone not yet convinced the industry's production standards are in need of a major overhaul.

All Veja sneakers are ethically sourced and address several environmental concerns. Their innovative shoe designs are made of eco-friendly materials such as jute, organic fair-trade cotton, recycled plastic, and put wild Amazonian rubber to good use. The carefully constructed, sweatshop-free sneaks also promote sustainable processes like vegetable dyeing/tanning and support organic cotton farmers through direct and transparent partnerships. 

Veja is just another one on the list of ethical companies you need to check out this summer! The brand proves how successful progressive and ecological fashion can be. Their style and comfort are comparable to Adidas and Nike but without all of the misleading and inhumane business practices. Learn more about Veja's social projects and involvement here.
