Globe is the first skateboard shoe company to use Bloom™ new Trek Rubber. Bloom™ cleans up algae from waterways, and converts it into a material that can be added to the rubber in our outsoles. It's rubber made with algae - and has been tested by our skaters for durability.

We continue to expand our offering of vegan friendly footwear which uses processes and materials that are free of animal products and animal testing. Our focus is on using high quality synthetic substitues that perform and stand up over time.

We continue our relationship with Wolverine leathers, using their most durable pig nubuck. Pigs are much more environmentally friendly than cows, using less natural resources to raise, and producing less methane gas.
