Veja expands range with sandals

The trainer brand Veja now also offers sandals.
Veja announced on Wednesday that it is expanding its range with the 'Etna' model. Previously, the french company with Brazilian roots only offered trainers, shoe care products and accessories.
The Etna sandal is a 'lightweight and versatile option for warm days that has proven itself in both the city and nature', according to the statement. They will come on the market in various colours - depending on the style, either in one colour or with a different sole colour - such as beige, purple-black and olive-black.
The sandals are made in Brazil from suede (upper) that comes from the state of Rio Grande do Sul and is tanned there 'without the use of dangerous or prohibited chemicals'. A PFC-free impregnation is also designed to offer protection in light rain. The insole is made from the polymer ethylene-vinyl acetate - 17 percent of which is recycled - and the outsole is made of rubber - 40 percent of which comes from the Amazon and ten percent is recycled.

Huge carmaker ‘may sell iconic luxury motor brand' as sales dive and new CEO takes charge

The new CEO faces huge financial decisions as a result of President Trump's brutal trade tariffs ENGINE STUTTER Huge carmaker 'may sell iconic luxury motor brand' as sales dive and new CEO takes charge Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) ONE of the world's largest car manufacturers looks set to sell an iconic sports car brand as sales plummet. Discussions over the future of Maserati remain ongoing as industry giant Stellantis prepares to welcome its new CEO in the coming days.

New CEO Antonio Filosa - who starts on Monday after being appointed last month - faces huge financial decisions as a result of President Trump's brutal trade tariffs. Stellantis - which owns 14 brands across the globe - was reported to have hired management consulting firm McKinsey and Co to review the situation. McKinsey was called in April this year to advise on struggling brands Maserati and Alfa Romeo, with both experiencing a dire 2024. Last year, the number of Maserati units sold plunged from 26,600 to just 11,300. Stellanis told Motor1: "McKinsey has been asked to provide its considerations regarding the recently announced U.S. tariffs for Alfa Romeo and Maserati." Trump's new legislation means tariffs of at least 25 percent on anything imported into the US. Maserati has no new model launches scheduled as it waits for a new business plan, with the last one having been put on hold by Stellantis in 2024. The plan is expected to be presented soon after Filosa starts his new role. But as things stand, it is understood that all options remain on the table for the world-renowned Italian brand. It came after the global firm pulled the plug on a £1.3billion investment in Maserati earlier this year. Plans for the hotly anticipated electric MC20 Folgore were also binned due to low demand. WHO ARE STELLANTIS? The EV, which translates to 'lightning' in Italian, was intended to be the brand's electric alternative to the stunning MC20 sports car. It promised a power output and performance characteristics similar to the existing V6-engined MC20. The Folgore was set to be one of six Maserati EVs set for launch over the next year or so. But Stellantis chief financial officer Doug Ostermann said they had pulled the plug on Maserati projects, claiming they wanted to review the pace in which sports car owners move over to EVs. He said: "We have to recognise the dynamics in that business, particularly in the Chinese market, and our expectations in terms of how quickly that luxury market would transition to electrification." What is Stellantis? Stellantis is the company behind iconic motor brands such as Fiat, Vauxhall and Peugot. The conglomerate, which is the second-largest maker of cars in Europe, owns 14 badges, including Chrysler, Citroen, Jeep and Maserati. The company itself is the product of a merger between Fiat-Chrysler and France's PSA, the maker of Peugeot and Citroen, in 2021. But the motoring giant has encountered increasingly stuttering financial success. And an initial manufacturing break at Stellantis has now been extended as bosses report a collapse in demand for electric cars. Other projects, including EV replacements for the Levante and Quattroporte models, are in danger of being cancelled too. The vehicles were set to be released in 2027 and 2028 respectively. It is understood the three models would have been Maserati's electric line-up as the firm looked to adapt to the EV revolution. Before he left the firm last year, Stellantis boss Carlos Tavares claimed the low sales at Maserati were due to advertising issues. He told Top Gear: "Maserati is in the red. The reason is marketing. "The Maserati brand is not clearly positioned and the storytelling is not how it should be. "The brand is not just about sports cars, it's about gran turismo, it's about quality of life, dolce vita and technology." 5 Former Stellantis boss Carlos Tavares said the low sales at Maserati were due to advertising issues Credit: Alamy

Man Utd chiefs backed into corner over four deals crippling Ruben Amorim budget

Manchester United are determined to push through a number of high-profile sales this summer to bolster Ruben Amorim's spending power but the process is already proving complex for the Old Trafford hierarchy Jadon Sancho's salary is once again complicating his Manchester United exit. Italian champions Napoli and Juventus are both courting the 25-year-old winger but currently, would only be willing to pursue a loan that would enable them to share a percentage of his wages, worth £250,000 per week plus bonuses, with United. The Red Devils are adamant another loan is not feasible and are pushing for a sale after Chelsea paid a £5million penalty clause to send the England international back to Old Trafford. ‌ It's understood Sancho is open to a new experience in Serie A having previously held discussions with Juventus last summer before a deal collapsed over financials. ‌ Meanwhile, Marcus Rashford faces being left in limbo as Barcelona are working to finalise the arrival of Athletic Club attacker Nico Williams. Rashford has been holding out for a move to Catalonia following his six-month loan spell at Aston Villa but if Barca get the signing of Williams over the line, a deal looks off the table. Como are the latest club to make enquiries for £81.3m flop Antony but the Brazilian currently favours a return to Real Betis, who want to secure another loan for the 25-year-old. READ MORE: Antonio Conte makes statement about Man Utd transfer he did not think would happen United believe now is the perfect time to sell Antony following his eye-catching form in Spain, there has been loose interest from Bayer Leverkusen but his desire to rejoin Betis threatens to back the Red Devils into a corner. Earlier this month, Rasmus Hojlund also outlined his desire to stay and fight for his place at United while away on international duty with Denmark. Ruben Amorim is not actively looking to sell the 22-year-old but the Red Devils would be willing to sanction his departure for the right price if it enabled them to upgrade their forward options. ‌ Inter Milan were keen to explore a loan-to-buy deal which would have required United to take a significant hit on the £72m fee they paid Atalanta for the Dane in 2023 but they're now in advanced talks to sign Parma striker Ange-Yoan Bonny, instead. Hojlund's commitment to fulfilling his contract and potential under Amorim means a departure is not a given, particularly when sellable assets such as Sancho, Alejandro Garnacho and Antony actively want out. ‌ Rashford - valued at £40m - is willing to return to United training next month, if suitable offers for his services fail to materialise. It's been well documented that United must sell-to-buy following the £62.5m arrival of Matheus Cunha but to date, there has been little progress regarding departures.

Antony ready to take drastic action in bid to quit Man Utd for dream transfer

Manchester United and Antony want to part ways and the Brazilian winger is happy to make a sacrifice to facilitate a transfer in the coming weeks following his Real Betis loan Manchester United wantaway star Antony is prepared to take a 30 per cent paycut to leave Old Trafford this summer. The winger's decision has boosted the hopes of interested parties, namely Real Betis, of being able to complete a deal. Antony is said to currently rake in £150,000-a-week with the Red Devils and is willing to lower his expectations to facilitate a move. The drop would still see him ask for £95,000-a-week. ‌ United are hoping to bring in a fee for the former Ajax winger to boost their funds this summer, with the club requiring £32.58million to avoid a loss under the profit and sustainability rules. That figure is well short of the £85m United spent in 2022. ‌ Antony failed to make an impression following Ruben Amorim's arrival but found a new lease of life in Spain after making a loan move to Betis in January. The Brazilian registered 14 goal contributions in 26 games to help the club reach the Conference League final. Both Betis and Antony have expressed their desire to make the move permanent but there have been doubts that the La Liga side could afford such a deal. But Antony is willing to reduce his salary, per the MEN, which could prove pivotal. Antony has made his preference to return to Betis clear. "I love the club, the city, everything. The sunshine, the people, the food: it reminds me of Brazil," he said previously. "And most importantly, I've found myself. I wasn't playing much [at Manchester United ]. I needed to be happy in myself." Amorim is impatient to see new signings this summer, with the pace of United's transfer business this summer not quite yet kicking into gear. The Red Devils have added Matheus Cunha to their squad but have not made much progress on incoming or outgoing transfers. ‌ Amorim wants new players on the plane for United's three-game tour of the United States The United boss sees the tour as the ideal environment to integrate new players and to learn his system. The 40-year-old also wants United to offload players he does not want as quickly as possible. None of Marcus Rashford, Jadon Sancho, Alejandro Garnacho and Antony feature in his plans. Rashford wants to move to Barcelona, while Sancho has drawn interest from Italy after seeing his permanent move to Chelsea cancelled. The Blues paid a penalty to go back on their agreement with United.
