Description
Wasted Talent X Globe Dover II — Ophidian Collection / Black / Snake
WT x GLOBE — OPHIDIAN
"The jaws that bite, the claws that catch. Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun the frumious Bandersnatch."
The Ophidian Capsule — a snakeskin selection of elevated footwear, part of our ongoing collaboration with Globe x Wasted Talent.
An evolution of a familiar form. The Wasted Talent x Globe Dover II is rooted in the classic Australian Chelsea boot — and returns with a sharper profile and a more deliberate attitude. This vulcanised slip-on stands slightly taller than the original, with a reworked heel pod for improved fit and all-day comfort. Built for skating: Globe's Shockbed™ insole for impact control and Super-V™ outsoles for dependable grip. The upper is cut from full-grain cowhide leather, designed to age with wear. At the heel, a subtle Ophidian faux snakeskin tab adds texture and contrast. Function leads. Details follow.

About Wasted Talent
Wasted Talent was born on a late summer evening in the South West of France — a conversation sparked by a shared frustration with the lack of innovation in the surf and skate scenes across Europe. The brand represents a common space for products and clothing that transition seamlessly from the beach to the bar, and beyond.
