Veja launches collaborative sneakers with Lemaire

March 22, 2019 0 By HearthstoneYarns

Sustainable footwear label Veja has joined forces with French fashion
house Lemaire to launch two sneaker styles. The first one, dubbed Aquashoe,
is a mix of a runner, a slipper and a diving shoe made from recycled
polyester in 3D effect stitching and comes in two colors: black and red.
The second one is a vintage looking canvas boot inspired by the Italian
military.

Veja’s co-founder Sébastien Kopp met Christophe Lemaire during a gala
dinner organized by Greenpeace, according to a joint statement. “The flow
between us was instant”, said Kopp.

The shoes are available for purchase at select retailers. The Aquashoe
retails for 185 euros (158 pounds or 209 US dollars). The canvas boots are
priced at 150 euro (128 pounds or 159 US dollars).
