Not all leather is created equal. The upper panels of Veja's V-15 are made from ChromeFree leather, which comes from 100% organic certified farms in Uruguay and undergoes a mechanical beating process that makes it softer, more pliable, and thus more comfortable. The design is inspired by '80s basketball shoes, with a perforated toe box, a lightly-treaded rubber outsole, and a recycled polyester inner lining. Made in Brazil, they're finished with suede "V" logos on the sides.
