Brand Rating
Veja
French sneaker brand using wild Amazonian rubber, organic cotton, and recycled plastic bottles. Genuinely transparent supply chain — they publish factory lists and pay fair wages. No marketing budget (relies on word of mouth/influencers). The "but": the shoes are expensive (£95-150), some styles have limited cushioning, and the wild rubber supply chain is harder to scale. Still, the most credible sustainable sneaker brand on the market.
