Named after a Brazilian NGO that supports families with organic-cotton farms, these sleek Esplars are an eco-minded change of pace from your kickaround sneakers. (Fun fact: The sole is made from wild rubber sourced from the Amazon rain forest by authorized seringueiros, or rubber tappers—and Veja pays a premium to support forest conservation.) In addition to the organic cotton lining and plush insole, we love how these leather lace-ups—embroidered with Veja’s signature V logo—only get better with age.
