Veja has introduced the latest addition to its Condor running collection: the Condor 3 Advanced. Designed to offer improved comfort and performance, this new model is a refined, lightweight alternative for runners of all levels.
Enhanced Features for a Superior Running Experience
The Condor 3 Advanced weighs in at 276 grams, a slight but significant reduction from its predecessor’s 287 grams. The weight reduction is due to the use of a non-expanded EVA-based dynamic plate. Additionally, the shoe’s lacing system has been redesigned with a wider cage and fewer eyelets, minimizing pressure points and enhancing comfort. The stack height measures 37 millimeters at the heel and 29 millimeters at the forefoot, ensuring optimal support.

Sustainability at the Core
Consistent with Veja’s commitment to sustainability, the Condor 3 Advanced is made in Brazil using bio-based and recycled materials. The insole consists of 52 percent sugar cane-based EVA and 23 percent recycled polyester, while the Ketten-engineered mesh upper and laces are crafted entirely from recycled polyester.

Colorways and Availability
The Condor 3 Advanced is available in three striking colorways: "Gradient Purple-Orange Fluo, " "Full-White, " and "Full-Black. " Priced at $200, the shoe can be purchased from retailers such as Veja, Fleet Fleet, Palmetto Running Company, REI Co-op, and Renegade Running.
Veja's Ongoing Innovation and Ethical Approach
Veja continues to generate buzz with its innovative drops, collaborations, and sustainable initiatives. In January 2024, the brand partnered with Spanish fashion label Bimba Y Lola to reimagine the Venturi 2 sneaker. Maintaining its eco-conscious approach, Veja also introduced Repair Friday in 2024, offering free sneaker repairs instead of encouraging new purchases. This initiative followed the previous year’s Free Friday, during which Veja provided free repairs for any sneaker brand.

In 2024, it opened new stores in London and Brooklyn, further cementing its status as a leader in sustainable fashion. Celebrities such as Scarlett Johansson have been spotted wearing Veja shoes, further boosting the brand’s popularity.
With the Condor 3 Advanced, Veja continues to blend performance, sustainability, and style, solidifying its reputation as a forward-thinking footwear brand.
