Globe is stoked to debut the first rider colorway of their Melbek silhouette, designed for team rider—and all-around ripper—Sammy Montano. The shoes feature custom art on the tongue and footbed of Sammy’s dog, Domino, which really adds an extra layer of personality to these bold, straightforward kicks.

Sammy was drawn to the Melbek for its exceptional skate function and board feel, and as he puts it, "It's comfortable, it's cool and it's something you can wear with everything." Take a look:

At first glance, the Black Suede/Cotton Twill colorway is super easy on the eyes. No nonsense. No bells and whistles. Just a solid skate shoe built for skateboarding.

As we see in the video, Sammy breaks down what makes the Melbek his go-to and breaks sown of the inspiration behind the design. Consider me intrigued. Not only do they look sick, but it sounds like they were designed to take a beating.

If you haven't already, press play and learn more. Expect some stylish clips, meet Sammy's doggo, Domino and learn more about why Montano's new Melbek might be your new favorite skate shoe.
