Shop (vegan) Veja sneakers at Sophie Stone
One of the biggest misconceptions about Veja is that it is a vegan sneaker brand from the start. The big V that is stitched on almost every shoe stands for Veja and therefore not necessarily Vegan. But don't be alarmed because 1 in 4 Veja sneakers is indeed vegan. This means that no animal material such as leather has been used in these designs. Sophie Stone has selected the cutest (vegan) sneaker models for spring/summer 2023 for you.
- Vegan Veja SDU RT B-mesh
This Vegan Veja model with a mega technical name consists of a lot of innovative materials together. The material on the outside of the shoe is made of B-Mesh. This is a fabric made from recycled plastic bottles and is breathable and water repellent at the same time. Fun fact: as many as 3 bottles are used in a pair of Veja sneakers. Furthermore, the shoes consist of panels of vegan suede, the sole is made of wild rubber from the Amazon and the jersey fabric on the inside is made of organic cotton and recycled polyester.
The Veja SDU RT B-mesh model is available here in the Sophie Stone webshop.
- Vegan Veja Nova sneaker
De vegan Veja Nova is in 2019 gelanceerd en bestaat met name uit biologisch katoen. Alleen de binnen- en buitenzool is gemaakt van wilde rubber waar Veja bekent omstaat. Zowel de wilde rubber als het biologische katoen komt uit Brazilië waar overigens ook de Veja sneakers gemaakt worden.

Veja V-12 for women and men
The Veja V-12 model is often identified by the suede panels on the toe or on the heel of the shoe. Furthermore, the shoe is made of B-mesh which we wrote about earlier in this blog post. The inside is made of organic cotton and recycled polyester and the soles are again made of wild rubber. You can shop the Veja V-12 model for men and women at Sophie Stone.
The new Veja Venturi model
The Veja Venturi goes well with the current street scene and is definitely my new favorite. Because the bigger the design of the shoe, the better. On top of that, this model runs very nicely due to the chunky sole.
In March 2020 you will find next to the white and gray Veja Venturi also the white and pink model in our webshop.
Veja Campo sneakers made of chrome free leather
Veja Campo is a new model made of Chrome free leather and this is a more durable choice. The leather is soft, smooth and slippery. In fact, most Veja sneakers are made of regular leather, of which only 10% is naturally tanned leather. This used to be 50/50 but Veja is very transparent about this not being the case currently. Leather tanning uses chemicals and with Veja Campo and does not.
More vegan Veja sneakers coming soon I'm sure in the Sophie Stone webshop
After 5 years of research, Veja has finally found a good alternative to leather. A vegan and biologically produced material called C.W.L. This material is made of 50% corn waste and 50% polyurethane. Both of which are biodegradable materials. Unlike many other "plastic" materials. I am hugely curious to see what steps Veja will take further in this corner.
