Worn Again's always made rockin' recycled trainers, but these ones made from old firemens' uniforms have a double hit: they're planet- and people-friendly. Dubbed the Bigger Shoe, the trainer's a limited run of 400 pairs to celebrate the Big Issue turning 15, and Worn Again's donating £6 to the magazine's homelessness foundation for each pair sold. These beauties are selling for £65 online and at Terra Plana's two London shops.
