VEJA is an independent French sneaker label founded in Paris in 2004 by Sébastien Kopp and François-Ghislain Morillion, which showed its first collection in 2005. Its low-tops — V-10, Campo, Esplar, Urca, Volley — are produced in Brazil from Amazonian wild rubber, organic cotton, recycled polyester and chrome-free leather, and the company buys no advertising. The Condor running line reached the Condor 3 Advanced in 2025, alongside collaborations with Rick Owens, Marni and Finisterre. The co-founders resumed hands-on leadership after CEO Laure Browne departed in 2024.

VEJA is a footwear-led brand and its sneakers are very widely reported to run small and narrow, with the leather V-10 and Esplar styles being the tightest and the canvas/suede models breaking in a little more.
