A suede version of the Veja Kids Small Esplar in red — a meaningful departure from the leather white and beige Esplars in the range. Where the leather Esplars are clean, minimal, and easy to maintain, this suede version in red (colourway reference AMARANTE SUN — a deep, warm red with sun-toned accents) is a bolder, more characterful choice. Suede has a softer, more textured surface than leather, giving the Esplar silhouette a different visual quality — less crisp, more relaxed and tactile.

Red is the most distinctive colourway in the Veja Kids trainer range on this site — it’s a confident choice for children who wear colour well, and it works as a statement piece in an otherwise neutral outfit. The Esplar silhouette keeps the overall look grounded: the flat, minimal profile means the red reads as a considered accent rather than an overwhelming colour block.

Unisex. Made in Brazil. Available in EU 26–29 (UK 9–11.5).

Care Instructions

Suede requires different care from leather. Do not clean with a damp cloth or water — moisture can stain and damage suede. Use a dedicated suede brush to remove dry dirt and restore the nap of the suede. For marks and stains, use a suede eraser or suede cleaner specifically formulated for suede footwear. Apply a suede protector spray before first wear — this is particularly important for a coloured suede, as red suede can be susceptible to water staining. Allow to dry naturally away from direct heat. Do not machine wash. Store away from direct sunlight to prevent the red colour from fading.
