Introducing the Globe Mace Hi Limited Edition!



This is the Globe Mace Hi special edition skate shoe. This shoe is super hot right now - an incredibly functional, High-tech, Hi-top that is covered in graffiti by artist Sekure D!These shoes come with a special twin drawer presentation box covered in Sekure D art, a blinging Chrome metal Sekure D limited edition keyring, and 3 different coloured sets of metal tipped Globe laces, so you can customize the shoe right out the box!Here's what Globe have to say about this shoe:"In our ongoing pursuit of collaborating with artists, musicians, DJs and bands, Globe has gotten together with an artist who we feel is truly of the moment, original and representative of where street art is headed. His name is Sekure D and he is one of Australia's burgeoning new artists taking his penchant for graffiti art and applying it to the canvas of shoe customization. Sekure D is now a well-known designer in Australia. Growing up surrounded by a culture that didn't encourage his art, Sekure D covertly practiced his works for years before being contracted to co-ordinate the interior design and painting of various basketball and hip-hop shops within Melbourne. His work began with web-graphics and custom signatures, which enabled him to develop an attention to detail and patience, required in the field of clothing customization. Being a dedicated collector of rare footwear, Sekure D formed an appreciation of the importance of style, uniqueness and quality of finish critical for a shoe to outlast current fashion and to surpass common trends or fads. Untamed by theme or style, Sekure D blends graphics, symbols and text within an underlying current of street art to craft a design of lasting integrity. He has also had his work on display at the National Gallery of Victoria Exhibition in Melbourne. Sekure D's has said, 'The final achievement for any sneaker customizer would be to one day work with a leading footwear company.' Globe is proud to be the partner in this collaboration and announce the Globe Limited Edition Sekure D shoe. We've provided our Mace Hi model as his canvas and he's turned them into a Limited Edition work of art. You'll probably want two pairs, as you will want one pair to rock and the other to display!"
