The Element Emerald Collection is a consciously crafted men’s lifestyle product line, focusing on environmentally friendlier materials and manufacturing processes. The collection was designed for the needs of our maturing industry and the organic style evolution of our culture. The name Emerald symbolizes the highest level of green, emphasizing the premium quality and eco-conscious roots of the collection.

Last week we stopped by their launch event in Berlin and caught up with artist and Element Emerald Advocate Thomas Campbell who created a 4-meter wide wall piece to celebrate the occasion. Enjoy.

The free exhibition by the Vans OTW advocates included photography by Parisian Dimitri Coste, an art installation by Brooklyn-based Eric Elms and vinyl toy art and sculptures by Hong Kong resident and new OTW advocate Chris Kong.

Lupe Fiasco performed crowd favorites “Kick, Push” and “Superstar.” Live music played throughout the venue and Yasiin Bey brought the house down with an inspired performance of classic favorites and new material.

As the official opening ceremony for the HUF x Haroshi x DLX collaboration nears, HUF releases teaser 003, which sheds more light into the project. What we see in this video looks pretty incredible. Haroshi’s work is always awe inspiring, so this, along with musical performances from Tommy Guerrero, Ray Barbee, Money Mark and Fredo Ortiz makes for one heck of an event. Check here for more details.

Is there any sport or activity that Red Bull is not an active participant in? The energy drink giant offers up a preview to their Crashed Ice 2012 world championships. This is a really gnarly looking sport, to say the least. Check out some of the action as well as interviews with some key entrants in the event.

We’ve shown you a couple of preview videos regarding a project between HUF and Japanese artist Haroshi who worked together, along with DLX, on a limited collaboration. To celebrate the release, an event that includes an exhibition of 6 original works created by Haroshi for the collaboration, as well as a performance by Tommy Guerrero will be going down on January 7, 2012. The products will be available for purchase at the event, too. This is definitely something worth checking out if you’re in the area.

Last Friday G-Shock kicked off their new global event series, Urban Proof, in Berlin, following up on the Shock The World Tour.

The evening started off with DJ’s, beatboxers and artists battling it out against each other on stage, in front of a big crowd in the Berlin Kreuzberg district. Next to showcasing the latest G-Shock watches to be released in the coming weeks and months, the entire place was nicely outfitted with G-Shock design inspired objects and product – from G-Shock oversized cushions, skatedecks to G-Shock watches engraved into large stones and projected onto the walls, you clearly knew what you came for. Heavily branded? Sure, but for the most part tasteful, thus it did not bother us at all. The more chill battle part at the beginning of the night was followed by a full on party until late. Berlin knows how to party, but we all knew that before.
