There’s a new player in town, and it’s ready to score big in the world of fashion. Introducing VEJA’s latest creation—the Panenka sneaker—a harmonious fusion of vintage football heritage and contemporary street culture. Named after the iconic soccer trick where a penalty is softly scored with a graceful touch, the Panenka is all about confidence, style, and that perfect blend of sport and lifestyle.
Drawing inspiration from classic football jerseys and vintage boots, the Panenka offers a fresh take on retro aesthetics. Its slim sole design features a bold back panel and streamlined front lines, embodying the essence of old-school football while remaining perfectly at home in modern wardrobes. The quilted detailing not only enhances comfort with extra padding but also amplifies its nostalgic appeal. Completing the look is a serrated tongue, reminiscent of vintage football boots that once dominated the pitch.
Crafted with care and sustainability at its core, the Panenka is made in Brazil using VEJA’s softest O.T. leather (Organic Traced Leather), sourced from 100% organic certified farms in Uruguay. The laces are woven from 100% organic cotton, and the outsole is an eco-conscious blend of 40% Amazonian rubber and 10% recycled rubber. Available in classic Black White, White Pierre Pekin Bark, and White Calcaire colorways, these sneakers promise to be a versatile addition to any collection.
Mark your calendars—on March 6, 2025, the Panenka will step onto the scene, offering sneaker enthusiasts and fashion aficionados alike the chance to embrace a shoe that delivers both style and substance. Whether you’re channeling your inner athlete or simply stepping out in style, the Panenka is set to be your go-to choice this season.
