I have purchased DC Shoes for a long time now and find that the most recent DC's that I have been getting are falling apart quicker, the laces are thinner, and overall just appears that the materials being used are sub par. This pair of Globe sneakers reminds me of when I used to get DC's as they are unique and made solid.

One thing I did not realize at all about this pair of shoes was the fact that the tongue is connected on each side so there really isn't a tongue. At first I thought I wouldn't like this however it has ended up being awesome because the tongue doesn't fall to one side or the other and its helping the shoes stay newer looking longer!

I definitely recommend Globe's to anyone that loves skate shoes and also agrees with the DC comments above.
