++ Upcycling
Upcycling consists in recycling materials or products that have fallen out of use in order to turn them into higher quality or more useful products.

++Reinventing the sneaker
The idea behind a pair of VEJA: standing up with one foot in design and the other in social responsibility. « We decided to make sneakers, because this product is a symbol for our generation and our era. It’s also a product that crystallizes the major issues of globalization through its production, dissemination, and usage. »
