Should’ve just re made his habitat shoe tbch

[franquietits]

It's definitely one of those types of shoes that looks better far away than up close. Good on him.

[DMH]

Honestly really respect the inclusion of the three bumps from the Chet IV.

Austyn & Globe bout to bang the footwear industry over the head.

what happened  :'(

• Every detail of the Gillette is considered, making it a highly functional skate shoe.

I know they're trying to justify pricing a stupid vulc at $120 but this "selling point" is hilarious.

I’ll admit it, they’re growing on me.

Yeah I don’t hate them nearly as much as most people do. I probably still wouldn’t buy them tho.

[Patrick2G]

Nice to see something different, I think they look cool. But not quite what I look for in a skate shoe personally. I hope they sell well though.

[Paperclip20]

I don't have any issue with them aside from them being so damn pricy. Would love to try them otherwise.

[manysnakes]

I think it looks sick. If I didn’t have a dozen pairs of skate shoes already, I’d buy some when they are inevitably on sale for $50 come fall.

Chuck Taylors

This is my guess.

I feel like I go back and forth on the design. As far as something I’d skate in, they are too expensive, and there’s too much rubber for my liking. As well, I have a history of Globes not really fitting my feet well (same goes for most SB models).

Honestly I don’t see a lot of people wearing Globe footwear though I live in a small college town (which does have a pretty strong surf community). They must make a lot of money off their surf shit/clothing.

Yeah, this felt like a waste. It would have been a lot cooler to have a longer, behind the scenes style video detailing the process, the inspirations, etc. I think adidas and Busenitz did that when he got his pro model and it was really interesting to get that deep into it.

[FatGuy92]

They're growing on me, but I wouldn't spend $120 on any skate shoe

[shannamal]

every kid in costa mesa will be skating these the week they drop

This is Laguna Hills erasure, you know the only-for-emergency parent credit cards are ready and waiting

[switchfakie]

i actually fw it

[switchfakie]

oh hell naw, $120 for these?

no thank you, ill take them when they go on sale for $45

i used to think jah's shoe was crazy priced but those actually have reasonable tech in them, these are way too simple to justify the price imo

I thought only female hairdressers between 25-35 lived in Costa Mesa.   

That’s my impression of it despite living not that far from it for 20 years

[EXTRA SPICY]

Going through 1000s of shoes over 22 years of skating would mean he was skating through, at the lowest end, 92 pairs of shoes a year, or 6+ a month. Wut?

Honestly I thought that was kinda odd. Didn’t he cool guy the Chet IV’s on his Nine Club interview? Seemed like he didn’t know or care if it was in the current or recent lineup when they asked him. Chet IV’s definitely come to mind when I think Globe. And it was recently reissued and sold out. Even Ariana Grande bought a pair.

There were those years of super thin canvas vulc shoes where they were basically disposable. I know someone who would pretty much get a new pair of gravis filters/huf classics pretty much every week so I could see Austyn wearing a new pair every session but yeah that wouldnt make up 22 years

Those are the only model I can think of when someone brings up Globe shoes. Every Chad and Ashley in high school had either a pair of Chet IV's or some D3's. I can only imagine imagine the amount of money those companies were raking in at the time.

i knew a vans am skater who claimed a pair of vans would last him 3 days before switching them out

hes unbelievably good & a good friend of bobby dekeyzer, so i believe him

[Paco Supreme]

I like the Dover colour ways he gets, I’d have kept him to that and called it a day honestly.

[OwlGreen]

These fucking duckboot lows look like swampfoot city. Austyn and Elijah neck and neck for ugliest pro model.
