PANENKA BASTILLE SUEDE SNEAKER

VEJA presents the Panenka — a blend of football heritage and urban culture in a slim-sole style. Named after the famous soccer trick to score a penalty softly, this sneaker draws inspiration from classic football jerseys and vintage football boots. It features a large back panel and sleek front lines, while quilted detailing adds extra padding and emphasises the old-school football aesthetic. The tongue, with serrated cuts, completes the retro football look.

Since 2005, VEJA has been creating sneakers in a different way, mixing social projects, economic justice, and ecological materials. VEJA uses Brazilian and Peruvian organic cotton for the canvas and laces, Amazonian rubber for the soles, and various innovative materials conceived in recycled plastic bottles or recycled polyester.VEJA sneakers are produced in high-standard factories in Brazil.

All cotton employed by VEJA is certified organic.
