VEJA Esplar sneakers in white and rose gold metallic

Kate Middleton wears the VEJA Esplar sneakers (trainers) in white with rose gold metallic detailing.

The Duchess debuted the VEJA sneakers during a visit to Scotland in 2021.  As you can see, the shoes feature the brand’s distinctive metallic V logo on the side.

Kate later wore the Veja Esplar trainers to visit the Natural History Museum’s Urban Nature Project in 2021.

In July 2022, Country Life magazine tweeted a picture of Kate photographing the Duchess of Cornwall, Camilla, for the cover of their magazine. In the picture, Kate could be seen in her Veja sneakers (and the same orange blazer as above)

About the Veja sneakers:

The white Veja sneakers (or trainers/tennis shoes in the UK) are made from leather, they feature a round toe, a lace-up vamp, a cushioned footbed and a rubber sole.  They have VEJA’s signature V logo on the side in a contrasting shade of metallic rose gold.  The heel panel is also metallic and printed with the company’s name. I believe the official style name is White/Platine.

The style name, “ESPLAR”, is a tribute to the Brazilian NGO VEJA have worked with since 2005.  ESPLAR support organic and family farming in the Nordeste region.

A sustainable choice:

Nearly everything Kate adds to her wardrobe these days is sustainable, showing Kate is a conscious shopper. The VEJA Esplar sneakers are lined with a material made from 100% recycled plastic bottles, the laces are 100% organic, the insole is made from a mix of organic-sourced and recycled ingredients and the outsole is made from a mix of rice waste, new and recycled rubber.  Wow!

It’s great to see Kate wear more brands with sustainable manufacturing processes and eco-friendly principles!
