NOLYN is a modern twist by VEJA on the iconic nylon fabric. First developed in 1935 for its strength, elasticity, and resistance to heat and water, nylon quickly became a staple in fashion and technical uses, from socks to parachutes during WWII. NOLYN retains these high-performance qualities, now re-engineered with 54% polyester and 46% recycled polyester. It offers the same durability and feel, with a more responsible material choice.

VEJA is a retailer of footwear products and accessories headquartered in Paris, France. Since 2005, VEJA has been creating sneakers in a different way, mixing social projects, economic justice, and ecological materials. VEJA uses Brazilian and Peruvian organic cotton for the canvas and laces, Amazonian rubber for the soles, and various innovative materials made from recycled plastic bottles or recycled polyester.
