Rule-bending style is yours from Globe's The Bender athletic. Part boat shoe, part chukka boot, The Bender is ready for any adventure in old-school style with D-ring laces and a white midsole. Mixed leather and canvas offer intrigue to the rugged-looking upper, while the grippy outsole ensures you never miss a step in The Bender. At Globe we have a healthy disrespect for the established way of doing things, and we embrace new ways of looking at the world. For us, it's always a time for change. In this day and age we've adopted a KNOW HOPE philosophy, whereby we are looking at the future with wide eyes - truly taking every opportunity to be creative. Our team riders, who happen to be some of the best in the world, are a party to the products we make, but we also listen to the kids we make product for and are constantly evolving with them, so we don't lose our edge. It's what keeps us inspired, progressive and able to stay fresh when so many around us are pushing the same-old sameness.
