When Sea Shepherd contacted us to create a collaboration, the whole VEJA team was very honored. Sea Shepherd is a non-profit marine conservation organization that uses direct-action to protect whales, dolphins and marine wildlife. With a fleet of ships on the frontlines, they partner with local authorities to combat illegal fishing and bring poachers to justice.
While everyone else is covering their eyes, the Sea Shepherd crew is at sea, shining a spotlight on those who think they can pillage and pollute the ocean with impunity.
This collaboration is a tribute to the defen- ders of the sea.
For this collaboration, the VEJA studio worked on a full-black sea rover version of the Dekkan. Made in Alveomesh, this technical fabric is made of 100% recycled polyester.
The Dekkan is an outdoor and adventurous style. Along with VIBRAM, we combined our ecological materials and their know-how in a new formulation. The midsole is 70% sugar cane, which provides a forceful grip, while the outsole contains 30% Amazonian rubber and 25% rice waste.
THE DEKKAN VEJA X SEA SHEPHERD IS 50% BIO-BASED AND RECYCLED. MADE IN BRAZIL.
