VEJA SCORES AGAIN WITH THEIR LATEST PANENKA SHOE

words FLYNN LANZ

VEJA proudly merges rich football history and street culture to present us with their iconic launch of the Panenka.

Named after the renowned football trick to score a penalty, the Panenka is a shoe that directly blends the brand's current design trend of street style and football heritage. This slim-sole style shoe is an obvious must-have for any wardrobe as it combines both a sporty lifestyle and sleek design. This unique and trendy shoe seamlessly blends classic football elements with a crisp, modern twist. The large black panel and smooth lines at the front provide a streamlined look, while the quilted details provide additional comfort that simultaneously paints a feeling of football nostalgia for everyone. 

By combining themes of sport and street style, VEJA  highlights Panenka’s versatility for any wardrobe, highlighting its carefully selected colour-ways that are inspired from vintage football shirts. VEJA offers us with a fresh range of colour-ways in this selection, including black and white, white pierre pekin bark, and white calcaire. This makes the Panenka an easy pick for your next outfit through its stylish appearance and sporty touch. 

The Panenka is manufactured in Brazil and is designed with an eye for durability. By looking at the shoe’s model, VEJA has used their softest leather to date for the upper section, made from 100% organic certified farms in Uruguay. The laces are also made from 100% cotton, while the outsole consists of 40% Amazonian rubber and 10% recycled rubber. The Panenka will be launched on March 6 2025 and is available for €140 at select retailers and online. By using organic and local materials, this shoe remains one of both quality design and affordability.

It is clear that VEJA have truly achieved their aim in crafting a shoe that embodies a retro football aesthetic for anyone.
