Globe

Starting in the mid-1980s with the design, production, and distribution of third-party brands in Australia through Hardcore Enterprises, Melbourne’s Hill brothers—Stephen, Peter, and Matt—created a global boardsports brand of their own, first with shoes for skaters and surfers in the mid-1990s, and later with apparel and hardgoods for the broader market.

Today, the same crew of skaters, surfers, and snowboarders who started the Globe brand has grown into an international network of designers and riders united by boardsports, street culture, media, design, and film. With design centers and concept stores in Melbourne, Sydney, the Gold Coast, Los Angeles, and Hossegor, Globe is now sold by select retailers in more than 100 countries worldwide.
