For this collaboration, the VEJA studio worked with SEA SHEPHERD, a Non-Profit Marine Conservation Organisation, who's mission is to protect & conserve the world's oceans & marine wildlife.

They came up with  a full-black sea rover version of the Dekkan inspired by Sea Shepherd pirates. Made in Alveomesh, this technical fabric is made of recycled polyester. The Dekkan is an outdoor and adventurous style. Along with VIBRAM, they combined Veja's ecological materials and their famous know-how in a new formulation for performing soles.
