At OluKai, we're deeply inspired by the island lifestyle and our connection to the ocean. Our mission is to craft footwear that embodies the strength and durability of the watermanβs lifestyle, infused with island-inspired style, comfort, and craftsmanship. This summer, weβre excited to bring the ocean lifestyle to you with our exclusive limited-edition summer collection, a unique tribute to the HumuhumunukunukuΔpuaβa, Hawaiβi's State Fish.
Inspired by the HumuhumunukunukuΔpuaβa
This collection is a visual feast, with each piece featuring eye-catching patterns and colors directly inspired by the Humuhumunukunukuapua'a. Hawaiβiβs State Fish is renowned for its vibrant colors: a stunning blend of green and brown, accented by vivid orange markings that evoke the image of sand. We've translated these unique patterns into the colorways of this limited collection of sneakers and sandals, perfect for the summer season.
In Hawaiian mythology, the HumuhumunukunukuΔpua'a is known as the living embodiment of a shape-shifting βhog childβ chief who could command the rain and sea, otherwise known as the Kama Puaβa. This collection honors the HumuhumunukunukuΔpuaβaβs spirit and how it represents the vast, life-sustaining ocean surrounding it.
Explore the Collection
The distinctive features of the HumuhumunukunukuΔpua'a have directly influenced the design of each shoe in the collection. We have the Nohea Moku, a water-friendly boat shoe for men. This effortless slip-on design is elevated by the HumuhumunukunukuΔpua'a's color palette, featuring light blue soles and pops of red inspired by the fish's pectoral fins. Or, for a casual look, we have the βOhana sandal, made from water-friendly materials to keep you dry during those summer days on the water. The βOhana is complemented by an off-white color inspired by the sandy ocean floor that the HumuhumunukunukuΔpua'a sifts through.
For our summer girls, check out a similar look with the Puawe - A sleek and soft sandal with off-white sand-colored straps and a HumuhumunukunukuΔpua'a-inspired pattern on the footbed designed to catch the eye. Water-ready and stylish as ever.
