A familiar silhouette, refined.
The Melbek returns through a Wasted Talent lens — built for skating, worn for everything else.
The upper is wrapped in faux snakeskin, adding subtle texture without shouting for attention. Underfoot, Globe’s Shockbed™ PU insole absorbs impact and keeps things comfortable long after the session ends. Finished with an abrasion-resistant rubber outsole designed to take daily abuse, not just park laps.
Released for 2025 in a tightly curated palette, this is a shoe that moves easily between worlds — skatepark, street, city nights. Functional by design, considered in detail.
No excess.
No compromise.
Just a skate shoe that holds up wherever you take it.
Wasted Talent was born on a late summer evening in the South West of France, driven by a desire to innovate within the surf and skate culture. After frustrations with the lack of fresh ideas in Europe, we created a space for brands and products we truly believe in.
Whether you’re at the beach, bar, or beyond, we believe in clothing and accessories that elevate your style without compromise. From the magazine to the store, we hope you enjoy the Wasted Talent experience.
