Sneaker enthusiasts looking for clean designs and responsible sourcing now have a new option with the launch of the first joint footwear project between CFCL and VEJA. The V-90 sneaker will be available this week through CFCL’s online store and select global retailers. It offers a stripped-down aesthetic rooted in sustainability.

Revealed during Paris Fashion Week as part of CFCL’s Fall 2026 collection, the V-90 reflects a shared vision rather than a clash of identities. CFCL, known for transforming knitwear into elevated urban staples, brings its refined minimalism to VEJA’s performance-driven silhouette. The result is a low-profile sneaker that avoids ornamentation entirely – no oversized logos or contrasting panels; just subtle branding on the front and heel tabs. Hidden eyelets keep the laces flush with the upper, further reinforcing the streamlined look.

Two versions are available. One leans into earth tones with reflective detailing, while the other opts for black with pale blue accents – a nod to CFCL’s signature color scheme. The upper is made of Nylon, VEJA’s blend of 54 percent polyester and 46 percent recycled polyester, which was chosen for its durability and smooth texture. Structural panels are made of Organic Trace Leather, and the sole unit is made of Amazonian rubber, bio-based compounds, and organic cotton. Every component serves function and ethics, with traceability built into the supply chain.
For those tired of hype cycles and overly designed releases, the V-90 offers something rare: a subtle statement. It doesn’t shout. It simply exists as proof that restraint and responsibility can coexist without compromise. Availability remains limited, so interested buyers should act quickly through official channels before the stock disappears.
