True to their name, Element are not a brand to overlook their connection to nature. The latest release from their offshoot Element Emerald Collection is the Donnelly — a walking boot-style shoe crafted with the great outdoors in mind.

With a mid rise, ample padded support, hiking boot lace eyelets and a weatherised fringe to the upper, the Donnelly has everything a good trail sneaker requires. What's more, the speckled midsole is made using recycled PVA, the outsole is molded from repurposed excess rubber from the footwear industry, and the whole shoe is lined with sustainably sourced, soft bamboo fabric — proof that it is possible to be rugged and responsible at the same time.

Although only one colorway is shown above (black/curry), a further three more are also available, and can be found now over at the Element store.
