Durable Hawaiian-Inspired Footwear

The New OluKai Footwear Collection is Casual and Comfortable

— December 16, 2019 — Fashion
The 2019 OluKai footwear collection looks to differentiate itself from other capsules on the market through an unparallel dedication to casual sophistication and all-encompassing comfort. The shoes that the brand makes available to consumers is designed through 'The Wet Sand Principle.' With this, OluKai ensures that "every pair of shoes [it] makes feels like stepping in wet sand."

The ultra-stylish 2019 OluKai footwear collection takes inspiration from the beaches of Hawaii. The label seeks to bring together the "durability of traditional athletic shoes" and the breezy lifestyles that are usually observed in cities that are near the ocean. The latest range of products by OluKai is made for the avid adventurer in mind, with the full-grain leather Nalukai Boot being an obvious stand-out and the Hawaiʻiloa Manu Ihu Leather Chukka Boot following closely behind.
