What Veja shoes did Meghan Markle wear?

Meghan Markle, was photographed wearing Veja trainers while on a boat trip in Sydney Harbour with Prince Harry in October 2018. The Duchess sported the brand's popular V-10 sneakers, which come in various colourways, though she opted for a classic black logo on white background design.

You can buy these from loads of different retailers, from Office to Net-A-Porter, all of which are likely to offer discounts for Black Friday.

Is Veja a luxury brand?

The luxury aspect of Veja trainers come from how they're made. Veja source natural, wild rubber directly through the native Seringueiro communities within the Amazon rainforest, eradicating harmful emissions and saving water and energy. The soles are made from this innovative, ethical alternative. The entire process is fair-trade and ethical, so you can feel good wearing your trainers.

They cost just over £100 on average per pair, which is why they're considered luxury, though they are in a similar price bracket than the likes of Nike, adidas and more.
