Globe Skateboarding Shoes

Globe is a classic Australian skateboarding and action sports brand founded in the mid-1980s by three brothers, Stephen, Peter, and Matt Hill. Originally emerging from Melbourne, the brand was a pivotal part of the global skate culture during the 1990s and continue to be a staple in the industry.

Manufacturing for Globe footwear is primarily outsourced to facilities in Asia, specifically in China and Vietnam, where specialized factories handle the technical requirements of cushioned, durable skate shoes. The brand remains under its original parent company, Globe International, which is still headquartered in Melbourne and manages various other streetwear and hardware brands.
