This time, VEJA heads to the West Coast: opening a VEJA store in Los Angeles

We found a raw space.
📍 Abbot Kinney Boulevard, Venice

Why there? This mythical neighborhood is one of the few places in LA where people actually walk around, in a city where most people use cars or shop online.

How are the VEJA sneaker soles made?

Since day one, every VEJA sneaker contains wild rubber from the Amazon rainforest tapped by hand, without harming the trees, letting the forest regenerate.

They use ancestral techniques, passed down through generations, to harvest latex with care.

70's. Volleyball. Brazil. ➡️ The Volley

It all started in 2005. When Sebastien Kopp& François- Ghislain Morillion created VEJA.

They started with that shoe, the Volley, selling 5000 pairs in Paris.
Both founders had no experience in the sneaker industry.
