About Franco 620 Sahara
Our first ever Trash Planet sneaker - the Franco 620. Once they're sold out, no sneaker will ever be made the same again.
These shoes are ethically made by local artisans just outside of Porto, Portugal in our small family-owned factory. All-vegan, locally sourced and made with recycled and recyclable materials, these will make you look good and feel good at the same time.
The tan colour palette is inspired by the cobbled stones that stretch over the Portuguese Algarve, a versatile and on-trend hue that is perfect to match with any look.
The removable biodegradable insole offers maximum comfort, whilst the impeccable finish ensures these sneakers are made to last. The 620 stitching signifies the date they were designed (June 2020). No sneaker will ever be made the same again.

About Trash Planet
TRASH PLANET is a small independent footwear business based just outside of Bristol in the United Kingdom. We consider our shoes to be the future of sustainable vegan footwear. We were tired of unethically made, unsustainable plastic footwear and bland sustainable styles so we went on a mission to create Trash Planet and redefine sustainability ourselves.
It took us on a journey of two years through tens of factories, hundreds of materials, and thousands of miles through multiple countries in a 20-year-old car to make a sneaker that we're proud of.
We create very limited collections of high-quality sneakers that are all vegan, at least 50% recycled and ethically made in Europe. We also plant 15 trees to offset more carbon than ever put out during production, and you can recycle your sneakers with us as part of our TakeBack Scheme to make sure no sneaker ever ends up in landfill.
