Globe International is a manufacturer of surf and skateboard footwear and apparel, formed in 1994 in Melbourne, Australia, by former Australian professional skateboarders Matt, Steven, and Peter Hill.

Globe Shoes is currently releasing a series of skateboard videos through the internet titled United By Fate. In 2009 Sirius radio host and "Seventh greatest skateboarder in the world" Jason Ellis announced that he had left his sponsorship with DC Shoes to join Globe International.
Globe Trainers have a healthy disrespect for the established way of doing things, and they embrace new ways of looking at the world. For Globe, it's always a TIME FOR CHANGE. It’s Globe’s motto, mantra, maxim or whatever you want to call it. It’s what keeps Globe moving, progressing and able to stay fresh when so many others are pushing the same-old sameness.
