With Fall 2012, Element introduces a full line of their young sub-brand, the Emerald Collection. While having offered some footwear already before, they are now going full on into apparel as well. Having always been a strong player in the action sports and skate areas, Element has produced the Emerald Collection to connect with the guy that has grown out of the core skate style that is presented in their other lines. The name Emerald symbolizes the highest level of green, emphasizing the premium quality and eco-conscious roots of the collection.

The outcome is a heritage inspired collection of apparel, that includes everything from outerwear to denim, shirts, accessories and of course also footwear. Classics are infused with the Element style, fusing the worlds of fashion and skate culture. For the most part the apparel is easy to wear and match, yet comes with nice accents and details.

Tonight, Element is celebrating the launch of the collection with an event during Berlin Fashion Week. Next to a full collection preview, Element Emerald Advocate Thomas Campbell will also be in place, showcasing some of his photography. More info on the event you can find here.

From the hobo Spring/Summe 2012 Collection we present the Suede 5 Hole Deck Shoes. Several classic shoe styles have been fused into one by the Japanese brand. The mid top version of a classic boat shoe features premium suede uppers, a tonal tassel flap and a espadrille inspired mid-sole. The mid top boot comes in two colorways this season.

The Bape Footsoldier boot returns for Spring 2012. Releasing in two subtle beige and black suede colorways on a thick outer sole, the Bape logo has been embossed on the side-panels. A nice detail is the Bape camouflage tab on the heel. The boot is now in stock at Bape stores.

For Fall/Winter 2012 Clarks Originals has teamed up with Japanese brand Rocky Mountain Featherbed. The brand chose to work on the iconic Wallabees boot. It comes in an all black colorway and a beige/brown colorway. Both feature suede and leather details on the upper, with a leather logo patch placed on the heel.

In an interesting new collaboration, designer Mark McNairy and Timberland have linked up on their iconic 6 Inch Premium Boot. As much as Mark was able to revive the classic Brogue with interesting new twists, he has also managed to add some color to the otherwise clean boot. It comes in black suede with royal blue hit on the padding, as well as in beige suede with bright yellow leather hit. A nice detail, without being too much. The boots will come as part of a four piece collection Fall/Winter 2012.

A further look at the boots follows after the jump.

One of the highlights from Black Scale’s recent showing at the Agenda Trade Show are these boots done in collaboration with Amongst Friends for Fall 2012. These are probably one of the more handsome duck boots we’ve seen. Two will be available with each having a different finish: 1 being more polished making for a more striking boot, with the other having a duller finish, but its still a sharp pair of boots despite that.

Today we can give you a first look at an upcoming boot to release in Europea and North America from Red Wing for Fall/Winter 2012.

The 6-inch full brogue was first designed as a country walking shoe specifically created for use when crossing wetlands and bogs. For the people in Red Wing and the surrounding areas, heading outside often meant trekking through the Minnesota wetlands and river basins. People needed a boot that could withstand constant exposure to water and a boot that, when wet, would not break down and hurt a person’s feet.

The first people to wear brogues were farmers and gamekeepers. Small perforations were crafted into the leather of the toecaps and quarters of the boot. This design allowed water to drain and the boot to dry at a quickened pace. The perforations were only punched through the outer layer of the doubled-layered portions of the boots so that the weather resistance of the uppers was not compromised.

Detailed images of both the brown leather and black leather versions of the boot follow after the jump.

After the ‘Ska Edition’ Desert Boot, Clarks Originals presents another appealing version of their all time classic. This time they teamed up with Japanese vintage clothing experts Warehouse & Co.

They reworked the classic Desert Boot in vintage loom indigo denim. Featuring the original crepe sole, leather piping detail, and an embossed leather insole, Warehouse & Co. continue the colab series perfectly with a premium reworking of one of Clarks’ most popular styles.

The boot is now available from End.

Ronnie Fieg is back with yet another new collaboration boot. This time he gets together with Quoddy on the Classic Moccasin 10″ Calf Height Boots and presents them in two colorways.

“Featuring ten lacquered eyelets strung together with 72” rawhide laces, the boot provides various lacing options to be styled for any wardrobe and any season. The two-toned colorways feature a fused canvas and leather silhouette with other details including a deerskin bellow tongue to keep out debris and maintain warmth without bulk, a Vibram sole designed expressly for Quoddy and a full handcrafted design. As on all Quoddy shoes, the soles are stitched to the shoe bottom rather than glued so that they maintain flexibility and last longer.”

Limited to 24 pairs in each colorway, the two-tone design on these is interesting and we like the color hits that Ronnie chose for these. The second leather color around the two box we are not convinced about, but overall he managed to present a refreshing version of this otherwise classic outdoor boot. Priced at 450 USD a pair, they will release at both Kith locations and online on January 6th, 2012.
