Footwear: Element Emerald Hampton Elite- Fall 2011

Some of the perks of having friends in high places is getting your hands on things a bit early. When I was in Vegas a few weeks ago I got a chance to get my hands on the new Element Emerald Hampton Elite’s.

The chukka boat has so many elements (no pun intended) that I enjoy. For starters I love the navajo pattern details and the beads on the laces, it gives it that native look. I like the fact that they used a vibram outsole so I know they will be comfortable. The contrast stitching and the deck shoe influence also makes this a great looking shoe.

These will be hitting retail October 1st.

Thanks to Nick & Element.
