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 waterman’s lifestyle, infused with island-inspired style, comfort, and craftsmanship. This summer, we’re excited to bring the ocean lifestyle to you with our exclusive limited-edition summer collection, a unique tribute to the Humuhumunukunukuāpua’a, Hawai‘i's State Fish.
Inspired by the Humuhumunukunukuāpua’a
This collection is a visual feast, with each piece featuring eye-catching patterns and colors directly inspired by the Humuhumunukunukuapua'a. Hawai‘i’s 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 Humuhumunukunukuāpua'a is known as the living embodiment of a shape-shifting ‘hog child’ chief who could command the rain and sea, otherwise known as the Kama Pua’a. This collection honors the Humuhumunukunukuāpua’a’s spirit and how it represents the vast, life-sustaining ocean surrounding it.
Explore the Collection
The distinctive features of the Humuhumunukunukuāpua'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 Humuhumunukunukuāpua'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 ‘Ohana sandal, made from water-friendly materials to keep you dry during those summer days on the water. The ‘Ohana is complemented by an off-white color inspired by the sandy ocean floor that the Humuhumunukunukuāpua'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 Humuhumunukunukuāpua'a-inspired pattern on the footbed designed to catch the eye. Water-ready and stylish as ever.
