VEJA and VIBRAM’s collaboration calls for exploration with its new technical outdoor-inspired style.
Both teams created the Dekkan, a style influenced
by VEJA’s running technology and VIBRAM’s know-how.
The name inspiration dawns after the Dekkan lava plateau, located in India. An ancient remnant of Earth’s original continent formed by the time dinosaurs went extinct.
VEJA uses between 20 to 30% of Amazonian rubber in its soles. We bought more than 1 080 tons of Amazonian rubber from 2004 till the end of 2020 paying twice the market price.
Together with the Italian company VIBRAM, VEJA has co-developed a unique formulation using Amazonian rubber, GEB (Granulado Escuro Brasiliano) for the outsole and VEJA’s EVA sugarcane-based for the midsole.
Developed in a VIBRAM’s Brazilian factory and after several months of tests, VEJA and VIBRAM forged together the ultimate functional sole. The sole is a mix of ecological materials and VIBRAM’s world-leading technology.
The sole offers a good balance of grip, durability and abrasion resistance thanks to the GEB rubber and VIBRAM’s design, plus cushioning and energy return thanks to VEJA’s E.V.A.
The upper crafted by VEJA and made of Alveomesh, 100% recycled polyester, is framed with waterproof TPU sidewalls and rubber pieces at the front and heel to offer protection.
Made in Brazil.
Available in four outdoor-inspired shades. 50% bio-based and recycled.
