It really is!!! The shoe looks good though. I'm a sneaker guy only these days but totally skated some good ish in the 90s. The Ollie area is a direct call to the early 2000s globe stuff. Soo cool!!!
Part of that 120 is being used to fund Gillette's music career. If the CT-IV's and chunky boomer shoes were less than $120, then you know it's being used for residuals.
I loved these shoes, like a LOT. They’ve lasted a long time for me and I don’t really feel the inadequacies of the insole tbh. As often as I’ve skated for as long as I’ve had them, I would easily pay $120 again. And probably will. They’re stylish, they fit all the function I need and want in a shoe, and they’ve skated really well for me. I like the idea of supporting their sustainability push if it means more expensive shoes, and I also want to support the company and AG! Great editing.
I bought the black and white pair. It took me about 2 sessions to fully get use to them. But I love them! The shoe laces do rip pretty easy, But just put some super glue on them and your good. I do love thinner shoes...But I do love these shoes
The Encore 2 is the best globe shoe in my opinion. I do have to say globes did go down in quality. Also the 3 little thingy things on the flick area, very creative and useful.
I have been skating these and I personally really like the way they look. To be honest, most times I find it hard to find a pair if stylish skate shoes that also have function. The globe los angered 2 are in my opinion a skate shoe that provides both. They don't make half sizes anymore and are expensive but they last a looonngg time
I was hyped to see you review some Globes only to be let down when you dunked on 'em so hard. Try the Sabre next time if you're willing to give Globe another chance.
I have been really enjoying skating these shoes, i have the black version and they look really good and for me they skate really well! Took me about 2 sessions to get the hang of em but once i did I've have no complaints (other than the price... i'd say they are worth 70-90$. Got mine for 92$ after tax) I'm a low impact/beginner vert so the board feel is immaculate and some of the comfiest shoes I've worn in a while. My last 5 skate shoes have been the Rowans from vans so if you liked those maybe you'll enjoy these if you can afford em or find em on sale online. If the weren't so damn expensive i feel like they'd be more popular, Globe F'd up by making them not accessible to the majority of skaters
Glad you spoke about the insoles! At 23 and an ex hooper, Impact feels heavy now adays. I enjoy Austin’s skating plus the aesthetic of the shoe; but thin outsole and shitty insole is a Big no for me:/
Been watching your videos forever, I can really see how your production has improved, nice work man! Which would you say is your favourite shoe to skate? Saludos from Uruguay :)
@@christianflores it’s crazy to me that nearly any vulc shoe would break the $100 mark. I primarily skate éS Evants. I want protection, stiffness, and less board feel. Cupsoles all the way.
The fact it’s vegan and with sustainability in mind plays a big part, and everyone in the comment section seems to ignore that huge fact. Such materials are currently expensive af.
I recently bought the globe dimension and the are a mid top version of the ct-IV with a vulc sole.The ct-IV is superdurable so I wanted to try if they are the same with more boardfeel. Sadly the sole fell apart after about 3 sessions. The shoes was kinda expensive too. Just can't do the vulcanized fr..
They're like overpriced Novestas. I loved my PF Flyers, but they def had better insoles. Thanks for the review Christian. This is bordering on a scam at 120.00 lol.
I’ve come really close to buying those in the last week. The only issue is I think you actually have to have them shipped from Japan, which is going to cost a bit. I’m going to do it eventually. Just not sure when. They look sick though.
The thing about you saying you’d rather have impact protection over board feel? Well, I have a theory. Some people actually have more impact protection with a vulc, because having a thin shoe with board field makes tricks easier for them, and they feel more confident, and thus they are bailing less, whereas if that same person was wearing a more “protective cup sole” they wouldn’t be able to feel their board and thus would do their tricks less often and would be bailing more often, which would actually hurt their foot more than if they were just wearing a thin ass vulc.
Thanks man, soon as I saw them they were giving Vans Era pro flashbacks of tearing my big toe ligaments. These old feet will stick with Shane's and FP insoles!
120 is absolutely ridiculous for a low cut shoe from globe, and I like globe. Even the chunky ass shoes that I like that are made of way more material, aren’t priced anywhere near that. Insane.
another exclusive yeah 💪♥ the 3 box/square near the lace toe part "rubber bumps" was kinda an o.g signature on their big puffy globe sk8 shoe remember?? and the skit at the end instant classic reminding the beef bet berle and my #teamhandsome man! ahahaha!
120???? He is one of my favorite skaters but oh my god lol Really love some of the ideas gone into it, but I would want better protection in the sole buying something at that price range
@@christianflores man, I thought you know about that. Those shoes got a lot of hate because it looks like soccer cleats. They have a lace cover. IDK maybe they built like one piece sock with no tongue(correct me if I'm wrong)
Gooood. Thanks god. Gonna put out a lot of content about it soon hopefully. I have 1 more version of it that I’m going to try and I think that will be the one we use.
Absolutely sh it shoes... last for 3 weeks, they literally fall apart and no support whatsoever, if you don't want to break your ankle, don't get these shoes, vans half cap it is❤
Thanx keep up the reviews G!! ✌️✌️💯💯🔥🔥🛹At least the nike court sb weren't that expensive but they were thin canvas with plastic on ollie area and then twisted my ankle cuz I trusted the mid design but no padding killed my ankle.
Lol I know that bro but they’re a Chinese company on the come up in America in the nba and are just getting into skate shoes like other big name basketball shoe company’s like Nike, adidas, converse, and new balance. They seem very tech heavy and nobody has reviews them in the USA or even has a video of them skating them besides Ellington himself. Id love to see a non biased review of them and how they hold up by a trust skate wear tester like you bro! I feel like you’ll love them they deserve more spotlight and you know a guy like Ellington isn’t just gonna slap his name on some bullshit! Knowing he skated for other great skate shoe companies like emrica and Supra. My buddy hoops in the lining Jimmy butlers and swears by them and they’re priority insole technology called boom he says it’s like Nike react and adidas boost had a baby and I Guarantee they translate perfectly for impact protection and board feel for skating. Knowing how Erik skates you gotta do the video bro please 🙏🏻
$120 for a thin Globe shoe is insane
That is alway what I’m saying! Lol
It really is!!! The shoe looks good though. I'm a sneaker guy only these days but totally skated some good ish in the 90s. The Ollie area is a direct call to the early 2000s globe stuff. Soo cool!!!
Well better than a 225 for a retro shoes

@@groidcel probably true. I don't know much about Gillette. I skate his wheels in Session the game and that is about it.

Nice dude! Yeah I still have mine but I can’t skate this minimal of a shoe
Are they true to size?
I bought the black and white pair. It took me about 2 sessions to fully get use to them. But I love them! The shoe laces do rip pretty easy, But just put some super glue on them and your good. I do love thinner shoes...But I do love these shoes
Makes sense why you love them. Ima try and clean mine and then wear them around. They look really cool.
The Encore 2 is the best globe shoe in my opinion. I do have to say globes did go down in quality. Also the 3 little thingy things on the flick area, very creative and useful.
I guess sooooo.
Wow that looks and sounds thin. I need. Full protection. But this edit is absolutely 🔥. Next level editing skill Sir. You kept me engaged for sure.
Thanks man! yeah I couldn't make it over 8 minutes. I didn't want to skate them anymore lol
@@christianflores sometimes we have to try things. I am looking at the converse fastbreak pro mid to replace my Tyshawn's. Have you tried them?
Those 3 bumps while im sure they do add some protection it's def a big nod to the old Globe Chet Thomas IV
I just said this and I LOVE when sneaker companies understand the unique parts of their DNA. I loved that Chet. Most of us did!
You guys might like the globe dimension. It’s kind of like a cross between the CT-IV and a skate high.
@@invertedxxxi those are sick but I can't skate in vulcs, maybe for a pair of chillers.
Looks amazing I remember having his pro model shoe when habitad did shoes and they flick so good
was it also super thin?
All his shoes have been pretty thin, still have one of his huf pro models, one of my favs, but I know they aren’t for everybody.
I have been skating these and I personally really like the way they look. To be honest, most times I find it hard to find a pair if stylish skate shoes that also have function.
The globe los angered 2 are in my opinion a skate shoe that provides both. They don't make half sizes anymore and are expensive but they last a looonngg time
Yeah they look good but yeah to thin for me.
Are they true to size?
The black ones are dope. Feel like RAF Simons had some influence on the design colorway
I was hyped to see you review some Globes only to be let down when you dunked on 'em so hard. Try the Sabre next time if you're willing to give Globe another chance.
Yeah I’ll find a globe shoe that I like. I’ll look that one up.
I just looked. . . That’s crazy! Hella fat!
The 3 rubber pads would be a nod to the Chet Thomas shoe. I like the way they look on these.
I gotta look them up. And yeah I like them too. Still gotta clean them so I can wear them around as a slightly dressy shoe. Lol
I have been really enjoying skating these shoes, i have the black version and they look really good and for me they skate really well!

yup thin thin thin.
reviews aside, man i really appreciate what you did with the vfx of this video ^^
Ayyyyy thanks G
I've waited for this video since the shoe was released. Love the videos 💙
Nice, if you are a thin shoe guy you will like it
@@christianfloresAre they thin (material) but still wide foot friendly?
Bro wtf the edits on this vid are insane
any thanks G
Been watching your videos forever, I can really see how your production has improved, nice work man!
Which would you say is your favourite shoe to skate?
Saludos from Uruguay :)
Thanks man! any thick cup
The editing is next level
Thanks G
Why would they sell these for $120? Even $90 seems like it would be too much.
Yeah that’s kinda what I’m thinking tooo

Try the Globe Sabres
Would love an update on the insole projects my fp’s just blew out
Globe had some underrated shoes... Encore2, Mahalo, David Gonzales, and my fav the Globe Sprout but theeese are just a big WTF
Day 1: Try one of Asics skate shoes
I’ve come really close to buying those in the last week. The only issue is I think you actually have to have them shipped from Japan, which is going to cost a bit. I’m going to do it eventually. Just not sure when. They look sick though.
@@invertedxxxi yeah, unfortunately asics is whack outside of Japan.
I do need to try them.
$120 is a lot, but Nike will charge around the same price for no added figures.
Yeah but they can do that because they are Nike.

lol that’s funny. Yeah I think I bailed either the same either way. Haha
i got the surplus sepia/antique for 40$ which is a way way better deal then 120 and they look better aswell and feel soo good so i def recommend
Nice editing
Thanks G
I’d love to see mason Silvia’s shoe review
I’ll have to check them out.
Minimalistic shoes with a lot of board feel was never my preference. Try the es accel og.
I love you man continue doing vidéos. I don't skate as much because I can't now a day's but I mean it's still in me bro
thanks man! love ya back!
yo!! Love the vids. Have u ever skated any Last Resort shoes? They have them at my local but theyre like 95 bux for a low top (the AB VM002)
Yeah there are good. But I’m not a fan I don’t like most vulcanized shoes
I remember when globes use to be 60$ bucks all day and 20$ at Ross or DD’s that was 07 good times.
You should compare all of the previous SOTY’s
How is the sizing? Im a 10.5 in vans and curious what size to pick these up in
Thanks man, soon as I saw them they were giving Vans Era pro flashbacks of tearing my big toe ligaments. These old feet will stick with Shane's and FP insoles!
I would put my insoles in them when I finish them. hehe ;)
@@christianflores so that's still a thing? Lol
120 is absolutely ridiculous for a low cut shoe from globe, and I like globe.
Even the chunky ass shoes that I like that are made of way more material, aren’t priced anywhere near that. Insane.
Yeah I kinda thing the same.
En Costa Rica $160 😢
Bro I hope you will be able to review the Comanche DVS, the nubuck version. The fat ones. 😅
Yo could you please review the Globe tilt shoes
Do they fit TTS or smaller/bigger (for example compared to vans)?
Can you please Test the Vans Knu skool Theres no Review About them on TH-cam
Where is the update on the insoles?
Please test out the 440 jake darwens
Do The Airwalk's One
I wonder if these are simailar to the HUF classic lo?
another exclusive yeah 💪♥ the 3 box/square near the lace toe part "rubber bumps" was kinda an o.g signature on their big puffy globe sk8 shoe remember?? and the skit at the end instant classic reminding the beef bet berle and my #teamhandsome man! ahahaha!
120???? He is one of my favorite skaters but oh my god lol Really love some of the ideas gone into it, but I would want better protection in the sole buying something at that price range
How's the Jordan 4s going?
Can you review Converse 70s high
Globe still makes shoes?
I hope one day we can see you skate the LV skate Shoe. It's prolly shit but it would be cool lmfao. Too bad it's like idk 1k
Do Etnies Estrella or Vans Zahba next. :)
On it
Dam 120 😅 I think I’d still feel scammed at 60 for a pair of pumps 😂 I’ll stick to new balance 440’s
Lol. Seriously
$120 Gillette is costing expensive and skating in a lifetime of testing the trick of converting a kickflip!
Shoes look dope, but I'll wait till they go 50% off like how I did with the Estrellas
Lol yeah they prob will.
Yeah. Skated mine once and I can’t do it again.
When is the lakai mod cup review?
Woah. Idk what that is but I’m dow.
@@christianflores man, I thought you know about that. Those shoes got a lot of hate because it looks like soccer cleats. They have a lace cover. IDK maybe they built like one piece sock with no tongue(correct me if I'm wrong)
How tf do they expect us to spend $120 for shoes that most likely have holes within a week of skating them 😂
Stefan janoski og+
Globe octave RM mids
Remember the Glove Chet Thomas shoes? These are basically the opposite
How’s the insoles coming along
Gooood. Thanks god. Gonna put out a lot of content about it soon hopefully. I have 1 more version of it that I’m going to try and I think that will be the one we use.
120 lol, in nz they will easily be 160 or more
Wow. Yeah dude. If your not a thin shoe guy. Don’t get em lol
Try to skate in air maxes
Adidas vulc ll busenitz
They look like Dunlop Volleys. And Aussie classic bogan shoe.
You sed that the Jordan 4 was your last shoe review
Yeah.
Didn't you decide to stop doing these?
lol you must have been pranked with the April fools post.
@@christianflores guess so lol
1 session review…take that for what it is.
Its pretty much the same thing that an old school but for a lot of money
$120?!? for rubber and CANVAS?!?!?!? Austin, love your skating, but were you trying to out price Nyjah's balloons???
Lol. Yup.
honestly, previous pro model look way way better
I liked the look at least.
typical 2000s globe
Why would anybody pay 120 for a simple ass Globe shoe? For that price you can get a pair of Jordans or Nike.
Yeah I kinda agree. But they look cool at least.
🛹🛹🛹
Looks like loafers my mom would wear
Wrong person to review this shoe
Who’s the right person? Simone who’s just gonna say it’s completely amazing and not tell you their real opinion?
@@christianflores Someone who is comfortable skating slim shoes, then could get a real opinion on how they compare to other similar shoes.
For the hipsters of skateboarding… F* that!
Lol. Right.
I'ma hipster of skateboarding!! I would skate these... Used... thrifted... Yuhh
Absolutely sh it shoes... last for 3 weeks, they literally fall apart and no support whatsoever, if you don't want to break your ankle, don't get these shoes, vans half cap it is❤

Globe needs to close up operations and throw away the key, they have been wack Payless shoes for at least 10 years
Okay there Joa. “I’m obviously kidding”.
Ahhh na. Idk about thay.
They look like a vans authentic but for 120$ so not worth it
