FRANCO 223 "STONE"
FRANCO 223 "STONE"
We've taken your favourite sneaker and made some massive improvements to it to create the new and improved Franco 223 "STONE". How?
We've swapped the mesh for our next-gen vegan leather made from corn and we've significantly improved the fit and comfort with softer materials and cushioned internal padding.
This sneaker takes your comfort to a whole new level - and the new and improved upper is super easy to wipe down, so you can stomp the streets in your cleanest fits and keep these sneakers clean with 'em.
As always, we've reincarnated old rubber soles into new soles but we've improved our processes and material mix to make them go further for longer. Shredded ocean plastic has become our laces, and our lining and leather is made from food waste.
- Vegan
- Fits true to size
- Ethically handmade in Europe with local materials
- Return and recycle to get £10 off your next pair
- Removable insoles
- Independently designed in Bristol, UK
HOW DEPOSITS WORK
You can either pay today or pay a deposit. Deposits are managed by us, Trash Planet, and not another provider.
Making a deposit reserves your pair, and you can make the final payment when the shoes are ready to be delivered on 18.06.2023 - or any time you like.
There are NO late fees or charges if you miss the payment date. However, your order will only be shipped once the payment is settled.
Step 1
Reserve your pair by selecting deposit and adding the product to your cart and heading to checkout.
Step 2
Checkout as normal, only paying the deposit amount of £75.00.
Step 3
When the shoes are ready, you can pay the rest (£44.25). The current sale price of £119.25 at time of purchase is honoured. We'll then deliver your shoes to you.
You can make the payment at any time by going to your order confirmation page.

For two weeks, this new drop is available with 25% off. On-demand manufacturing means no material waste or excess production, making it the most sustainable method - and you save. It's a win win.
SAVE 12.5% AT PRODUCTION
Once this period ends, the initial orders will enter the production phase. Any fresh orders placed during this time will receive a discount of 12.5% on the retail price.
GET YOUR SNEAKERS
Production ends, and the limited release closes. Any excess inventory kept for exchanges will be sold at full price. However, since this is a limited drop, there won't be any more available.

Frequently Asked Questions
HOW DOES TRASH PLANET ON-DEMAND WORK AND WHY DO YOU DO IT?
By using on-demand production, we avoid overproduction and only make what's ordered. With each new collection launch, we wait for orders before producing to create 0% excess material.
To encourage on-demand sustainable shopping, we offer 25% off at launch. Discount drops to 12.5% after two weeks when the first batch starts production.
HOW LONG DO I HAVE TO WAIT TO RECEIVE MY ORDER?
You can check shipping times on every individual product page.
Since all items are made to order and produced from scratch to avoid waste and overproduction, the delivery date for these limited drop sneakers is 25 June 2023.
HOW IS ON-DEMAND SUSTAINABLE?
On-demand is a more sustainable production method that avoids mass production by only making what's ordered. This approach eliminates excess stock and fabric.
Other brands burn or dump stock or surplus materials in landfill posing a significant threat to the environment.
HOW LONG IS THE PRE-ORDER PHASE?
Two weeks after DROP 4, we gauge demand for each item before starting production, and the discount falls to 15%.
The rest of the orders are then produced with a delivery date of June 25th, 2023. After this date, the products are full price.
HOW DURABLE ARE YOUR SNEAKERS?
Our suppliers have rigorously tested our vegan materials for use in footwear, with certifications confirming their resistance to abrasion, tearing, rubbing, and liquid repellence.
Our vegan leather and suede have successfully passed the same strength tests as real leather.
HOW DO YOU ENSURE SAFE WORKING CONDITIONS?
We maintain a close relationship with our manufacturers and factory workers, and prioritize zero-tolerance towards discrimination while ensuring the best standards are met.
Our team conducts periodic factory visits to verify smooth operations, favorable labor conditions, and adherence to stringent quality and labor standards
