Unique sneakers

The sneaker made from Marseille plastic bottles!

The Corail savoir-faire

The company was founded in 2019 by two long-time friends, Paul Guedj and Alexis Troccaz, sneakers fans but also disgusted by the amount of plastic waste found on the beaches of southern France.

In 2019, they launched the "Nique pas ta mer" (Don’t ruin the sea) operation, in collaboration with fishermen who collect the rubbish floating at sea, thanks to trawls attached to the back of their boats.

At the same time, they organize litter collection on the beaches. Paul and Alexis then transform this waste into sneakers and backpacks. These operations also allow fishermen, who are severely affected by climate change, to receive additional income.
