Having already found success with their ecological approach to making sneakers, in 2019 VEJA launched their first post-petroleum running shoe.
With the aim of mixing performance, bio-based, and recycled materials, their methods include sourcing outsole rubber directly from cooperatives in the Amazon, utilising 30% natural latex in their midsole foam, and the use of Pebax inserts made from 100% ricinus oil. All to make your run as sustainable as possible.
VEJA Marlin LT - Brittany/Oxford-Grey
Light and dynamic, yet comfortable enough for everyday use, the Veja Marlin LT in Brittany/Oxford Grey is a new shoe that focuses on performance, but not at the cost to the environment, with 62% of the shoe constructed from bio-based or recycled materials.
The Veja Marlin LT follows the principles of ethical manufacture and environmental conscience that infuses all Veja products, but in a new performance shoe that will have you improving your footprint in more ways than one.
A minimalist construction keeps the weight to a minimum and the style to maximum, while a sharp midsole geometry combines fast sensations with comfort and durability.
The upper uses a thin, single layer knit construction to provide soft and breathable comfort. Multidirectional flex grooves in the outsole help to enhance your footwork and give a more natural feel.
An L-foam insert in the heel absorbs shock, while the L-Foam in the forefoot gives a boost to your stride and 80% energy return.
