Element has created the Power To The Planet campaign towards the end of 2008 to raise environmental awareness. For Spring 2009 they have released several sneakers as part of the “Power To The Planet” collection, all produced from bamboo. The outcome is not only environmentally friendly but also looking really nice. The collection includes the Carnegie, Tim Tim and Why-no models.

Check out the Element Spring 2009 “Power To The Planet” Footwear in detail after the jump.

In a collaboration that actually means something, Element has joined with Toms Shoes to create the One for One skateboard. Putting a twist on the Toms program which gives a pair of shoes to a child in need for every shoe purchased, Element and Toms are giving a skateboard to a kid in Isithumba South Africa, near Durban, one of the most dangerous cities in the world, for each one that is purchased. One for One includes a deck, a cruiser and five pairs of limited edition Toms signature slip-ons. You can get involved with this program by purchasing here.

Steven Harrington’s “Our Mountain” exhibition has been traveling Europe all of last year. For the exhibition Element had produced a couple of special Cruiser skateboard decks. Now Element will release the boards, reproductions of the originals from the show in new colorways, as well as regular boards with Harrington’s artwork. Overall the set consists of 6 decks and should be available soon.

Element has collaborated with Imaginary Foundation on a series of skatedecks.

“The Imaginary Foundation is a think tank from Switzerland that does experimental research on new ways of thinking and the power of the imagination. They hold dear a belief in human potential and seek progress in all directions. The small clandestine team is headed up by the mysterious “Director,” a 70 something uber intellectual who’s father founded the Dadist movement. Avoiding direct publicity the team has sought streetwear as an unlikely vehicle for bringing their ideas beyond the academic realm and into popular culture.”

Visually the graphics by Imaginary Foundation have always been directly identifiable, which is also the case with the skatedecks. Look out for a release in the coming weeks.

First presented by us during the last Bread & Butter tradeshow in Barcelona, we give you some more detailed information about the Element x Krabo fixed gear bike today.
The handmade bikes come with a lugged steel track frame and accented with wood wheels and the finest leather trims. The outcome is a true beauty. The 5 bikes will be auctioned off in the near future, with benefits going to the 1% for the planet organization. We will keep you posted.

Today it would seem that many brands are recognizing that leveraging their line with a bike (one off or not) is a good way to garner some attention. Take for instance Element Skateboards fixed gear offering. With a decal lined frame, and Brooks Leather bar tape and saddle, this bike is a good transitory piece for the sport of cycling which is drawing the attention of many skate enthusiasts.

Element Skateboards has gotten together with Vestalife to produce a limited edition version of the Ladybug. This is an ipod dock aimed toward solid acoustics and aesthetics. Additionally, Element has brought in a number of artists, including Craig Metzger, Don Pendleton and Mike Ledger, to produce one offs that can be bid on via ebay. Once again, an interesting merger of skate, art and sound.
