Footwear: Emerald by Element

I’ve been sitting on these Emerald’s since August and I’ve been waiting to show them to you guys…I just never got around to shooting them, but today is your lucky day!. My homie who’s  working with the Element Team gave these to me during Magic to check them out and share my feedback. I remember when Pharrell was wearing an Element t-shirt in “When’s the last Time” Video with The Clipse, everyone wanted a piece of that brand. I don’t think  at the time Pharrell was known as Skateboard P but his style and attire sure made the brands he was wearing feel a bit more lifestyle and crossover. I kind of have the same vibe & feeling about these shoes!

The Emerald’s are a lot more lifestyle than strictly skate, I like the look and feel of these shoes. The packaging and box are all environmentally friendly which makes it even more fresh. I’ve always felt that Skateboarding pioneered trends and challenged traditions so this is right up the alley for a brand like Element.

“Element is proud to present The Emerald Collection, a natural progression in skateboard lifestyle footwear. Every emerald shoe focuses on design, fit, and comfort, and makes use of materials and techniques that are Conscious by Nature.

An Emerald represents the highest level of the color green and was selected over platinum or gold to signify the premium quality of the collection.
