VAER

VAER is a Copenhagen based upcycling brand. We give new life to discarded textiles by transforming unwanted jeans and workwear into upcycled and vegan sneakers. By upcycling, we use the textiles as they are and don’t shred them to make a new textile. In this way, we can keep the value and the story in the textiles, which means that each shoe is unique. But we don’t stop there, for us it is not enough to give new life to textile waste. We also want to make sure that our sneakers don’t end up as waste. At VAER, we believe in making sneakers that are as sustainable as possible throughout the entire lifecycle, which is why we recycled old VAER sneakers into new soles.
