The Marlin are running shoes for men from the brand Veja, the famous brand of ecological shoes. Designed to meet the expectations of demanding runners, they are particularly suitable for runners seeking performance. As light as they are comfortable, the Marlin are versatile running shoes for men with a minimalist and sophisticated construction. The L-Foam inserts at the forefoot and heel allow shock absorption during running for increasingly effective cushioning. The fine knit upper gives the Marlin excellent breathability, effectively wicking away moisture during effort. Ideal for your urban running or mountain outings, they feature a multi-directional flexible grooved outsole that enhances your footwork and provides a more natural stride. Additionally, the construction of the tongue of the shoe adjusts perfectly to your foot for optimal comfort. Composed of 62% bio-sourced and recycled products, the Marlin are made in Brazil, close to the raw materials, and in a factory that respects workers' rights.
