For their fifth collaboration together, VEJA and Rick Owens launch the Performance Runner Style

The new style adopted Rick Owens’ aesthetic while keeping VEJA’s technical facet. Including an extra-long tongue, a back loop pull-on, and stitched-shaped inserts on the sides and front
of the sneaker. The Performance Runner Style counts with minimalist construction and a sharp midsole to provide fast sensations and comfort.

V-Knit is a knitting technique that provides elasticity and adaptability to the feet. It is knitted in one piece to reduce layering and stitching. The sneaker is light and comfortable while the foot can breathe and stay well supported. This technique allows diminishing material waste because it doesn’t have to be cut at any moment, therefore, there is no waste (100% recycled polyester).
