TOMS Shoes and Element Skateboards South Africa Shoe Drop

Welcome to WeLoveToms.com.  This past October, Toms Shoes teamed up with skateboard giant Element Skateboards to participate in a unique demonstration of the One for One Movement.  Not only did they give away a pair of shoes to a child in need, but they also partnered up in a team collaboration that both helped kids get shoes and gave kids in a remote part of Africa a safe place to have some fun, with skateboards!

The premise of the collaboration is simple.  Toms Shoes designed a number of Element Skateboard-inspired Toms Shoes.  And Element Skateboards designed a Toms-Shoe-themed skateboard.  Working together, Toms Shoes and Element Skateboards gave away shoes and skateboards to children in need, and in the process provided them with a safe community location to spend time and have fun.

Here are some photos from the shoe drop:

As you can see, the Toms Shoes team and the kids as well had an amazing time, and their Toms Shoes fit perfect!  Hint – for more pics, you can check out the Toms Shoes Facebook Page about the South Africa Shoe Drop.

The shoe drop came about after two like-minded companies came together to really make some good happen in this world:  Toms Shoes and Element Skateboards.  This was the first time that Toms Shoes banded together with another company to fulfill its One for One Promise and people responded with overwhelming positivity – both the special edition Toms Shoes and the Toms Shoes Element Skateboard sold out very quickly.

Of course, if you want to get your hands on some amazing Toms Shoes (or an Element skateboard for that matter), there are plenty of amazing styles to go.  And remember that with your purchase of a pair of Toms Shoes, you are purchasing a pair of shoes for a child in need just like those wonderful smiling faces you saw above.  What a gift you get to give.  If you’re interested in purchasing a pair of Toms Shoes, you can click on any of the images or go to the banner at the bottom of this post and to your right.  With the One for One Promise in full effect, you can rest assured that your new pair of shoes is bringing a smile to the face of a child somewhere far away around the world.

We’ll leave you with this YouTube video that the Toms Shoes Team made about the shoe drop.  Watch it here, and then go to TomsShoes.com to get your own pair and support more shoe drops just like this one!
