As part of Veja’s vegan range, the Wata Canvas Shoe is made from a sturdy black organic cotton upper, has a stand out contrast white V on the inner and outer sides and has been finished with crisp white cotton laces. Wata, which means cotton in Japanese, represents the use of organic cotton in this range. The lining is made out of organic cotton and the insole from expanded P.U and organic cotton, all responsibly sourced from Brazil. This classic black and white style is lightweight, versatile and perfect if you’re seeking a staple footwear update from a brand who puts environmental awareness and responsible manufacturing at the top of their priorities list. Detailing is kept to a minimum, with subtle upper stitching and a branded label on the tongue. A custom Veja tread blends with the white outer.
