The inspiration behind the
ESPLAR trainers? Escritório de Planejamento e Assessoria Rural (or The Rural Planning and Development Association if you don’t have a Spanish dictionary to hand), an NGO that works with the farmers producing organic cotton for
Veja. Which, incidentally lines this pair. And then there's a leather upper with a wild rubber V across the side and branding at the heel. Stylish and educational.
