Globe shoes are designed for top performance on your skateboard. Since the brand's inception in 1994, Globe has been at the forefront of technical advancements in skate shoes. Globe designers work closely with an elite group of skateboarders, including Mark Appleyard and Rodney Mullen, to optimise the comfort and performance of their shoes. Globe shoes offer maximum protection and can take a lot of skateboard abuse, without compromising board feel. Globe makes both low-tops and mid-tops and offers shoes with cupsoles and vulcanised soles. Globe's contemporary interpretation of traditional designs makes the shoes not only functional, but stylish as well. The clean designs are made from premium materials like leather, suede, tweed and waxed canvas, and finished with great attention to detail. These beautiful, functional shoes are, of course, perfect for cruising around on your new Globe skateboard.
