Kate Middleton wears the VEJA Esplar sneakers/trainers in ‘Platine’:
The Princess debuted white leather 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.
To date, the Princess has worn the white sneakers to eight public engagements.
Most recently, she wore the shoes during a visit to Colchester Hospital in July 2025.
We’ve also seen her wear them in one or two candid pictures taken while off-duty, including in this snap by Country Life magazine:
The picture shows Kate photographing the then Duchess of Cornwall, Camilla, for the cover of their magazine. You can see she’s wearing the Veja trainers. You can just make out the V logo on her shoe.
Kate also wore the trainers in a video in which she shared an important update about her health:
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 supports organic and family farming in the Nordeste region.
