National Geographic & Element – WWFE – Fall 19

Element has partnered with National Geographic to create a capsule collection aiming to help people better understand the world & push the boundaries of their knowledge. In keeping with this commitment, a portion of the revenue generated will support the National Geographic Society’s work in the areas of science, exploration, conservation, and education.

The collection takes inspiration from the animal realm and the physical universe. The first delivery in Fall 2019 celebrates the animal realm embodied by Element’s pro-rider spirit animal representation. The 2nd delivery for Holiday 2019 symbolizes the four natural substances that compose the physical universe: wind, water, fire, and earth. The result is a curated collection of apparel and accessories that bonds a unique selection from the National Geographic’s impressive library of photographic imagery with Element’s timeless skateboarding photography.

The garments are made from sustainable-friendly materials such as (organic cotton, recycled polyester, recycled cotton) matching Element’s Conscious by Nature commitment to expand its social and environmental reach by perpetually growing its sustainable product line, contributing to worthwhile causes, running educational and vocational school programs and seminars, sponsoring and awarding scholarships to skate camps around the world.

Just ask Kristin Ebeling who flew in from Seattle, WA just for the contest! A very wise decision by her as it turns out. When the dust finally settled after a hard fought contest on Saturday, it was Minneapolis locals Jonathon Reese, Logan Mozey, and Benny Milam in the top spots for men’s, and Dana Jeck, Kristin Ebeling, and Deej Redoble on the podium for women’s.
