Name: Lunar Pierre Pekin Rio Branco Light Sneakers
SKU: 131486

Unisex lightweight and breathable sneakers in white, off-white and "Pekin" red. Features a chunky sole in "Lunar" and mesh Aircell upper, which is an extremely lightweight and breathable fabric made entirely from recycled polyester. The double-layer knitting technique used for this fabric allows VEJA to not use a lining thanks to its strong structure despite being so permeable to air. It offers perfect comfort and flexibility for VEJA's lightweight shoe styles.

Mindfully and ethically crafted in a high-standard factory in Porto Alegre, Brazil (a well-developed region in South Brazil), which has good working and living conditions, respect of worker dignity, and effective trade union representation.

CARE
The use of a washing machine is not recommended as it may alter the properties of the different materials. Before wearing these sneakers for the first time, it is advised to waterproof the shoes with a spray adapted to the material and to repeat this periodically. For leather sneakers, maintain the leather with a wet cloth and periodically with a specific product in spray or cream. Suede inserts can be maintained by dry brushing.
