PROPRIETARY BRANDS
After 10 years of design, production and distribution of third party brands in Australia with Hardcore Enterprises, the Hills created a global boardsports brand of their own, first with shoes for skaters and surfers in the mid 1990s and then with apparel and hardgoods for the broader market. Today, the same crew of skaters, surfers and snowboarders that started the Globe brand has grown to an international network of designers and riders that are united by boardsports, street culture, media, design and film.
For the riders of concrete, oceans and mountains—modern explorers of the Globe. #beUNEMPLOYABLE

For the hard workers. The searchers. The risk taking, mistake making, watermen and women with nothing to prove. For the seafaring, the wax sharing, the grommets, young and old. For the tried and true, who’ve paid their dues, for those who Find Refuge in the Sea.
