4 . GLOBE INTERNATIONAL
Globe was established in the 1980s , born out of Hardcore Enterprises , an Australian-based company specializing in skateboards and street culture . Peter and Stephen Hill founded Hardcore in 1984 and rapidly expanded it to become one of the world ’ s largest skateboard distribution companies . In 1994 , along with brother and current Globe CEO Matt Hill , the Globe brand was created .
After 10 years of design , production and distribution with Hardcore it was time to create a global brand , first with shoes for skaters and surfers , and then with apparel and hardgoods for the broader board sports market . Fast forward to today and the same crew of skaters , surfers and snowboarders that started the business back in the 80s has grown to a global network of designers and riders that are united by board sports , street fashion , media , design and film .
