Veja V-90 Multicolour Sneakers Men

A French sneaker brand founded in 2004, known for eco materials and fair production in Brazil.

That is the brand’s core point: organic cotton, wild Amazonian rubber, chrome-free leathers and a traced supply chain.

The side V is Veja’s signature mark: minimalist sneakers recognisable without big lettering.

The V-10, the brand’s iconic sneaker; then V-12, Esplar, Campo and Recife among the most searched.

Generally true to size; some leather models start stiff and soften with wear.

Comfortable after a short break-in: the sole is firm and the quality leather moulds to the foot.

A damp cloth and mild soap on leather and suede; the canvas upper brushes carefully. No machine wash.

Yes, in the leather models — tanned with low-chrome processes; there are also versions in alternative materials.

Not the whole line is vegan, but some models without leather are declared vegan by the maker.

In Brazil, under controlled working conditions, following the fair-trade principles the brand declares.

Clean and fully dry, stuffed with paper to keep the shape, in an aired place away from heat and humidity.

Air the shoes after use, take out the insole if removable and let it dry; specific shoe deodorants also exist.

No: direct heat deforms glue and materials. Always air-dry them, even if it takes longer.

With laces of similar length and thickness to the originals; take the old lace as a size reference.

If the model has a removable insole, yes: it can be swapped for an insole of the same size or a doctor-advised one.

Yes: stuff them with socks or paper to keep the shape and pack them in a bag separate from clothes.

When the tread pattern is smooth on the contact zones, or the shoe leans sideways when placed on the floor.

Some leather models soften with wear; feeling them stiffer in the first days is normal.

It depends on the material: treated leather tolerates light rain; suede and canvas should be protected or avoided in heavy water.

A cobbler can stretch that exact spot, or you can use shoe-stretch sprays and trees.
