Summer Home There’s something incredible about the return of summer. It’s a feeling of happiness and comfort that we aim to capture in every pair of footwear we make. Across the Islands, that euphoria is amplified. In Hawai‘i, the land radiates with aloha (love) for kama‘āina (locals) and travelers alike—welcoming those who respect it with open doors and open arms.
If you go to Hawai‘i, lead with aloha. We dropped Kama‘āina Tips throughout to help you travel like a local.
We asked locals Christian Marston, Kawai Davis, and sisters La‘a and Alohi Washburn to share the places that define them. We hope their stories inspire you to treat every destination like home. Immerse yourself, respect the culture, and always have fun. Together. We Go. →

“Those who bring aloha with them to Hawai‘i will always find it in return. Come here with open ears and an open heart.” Christian Marston Hanalei, Kaua‘i
For Hanalei firefighter, Christian Marston, showing aloha (respect, love) is a way of life. It’s a lesson he learned from his grandparents, who passed down their welcoming spirit through the family bar. When Bruce and Louise Marston opened Tahiti Nui in 1963, they knew they’d created something special. The establishment started as a gift shop, but slowly became known as “The Nui”, a small bar where locals and travelers would stop in after work, play music together, and have a few beers. Today, Christian's family is carrying on the tradition, carving out a space where both locals and guests feel welcome.
Local Intel Kaua‘i is surrounded by fringe reefs. Before jumping in the water, Mālama Honua (protect our earth) by making sure your SPF is the reef-safe kind.

Kawai’s Favorite Spot: Kaua‘i’s North Shore is full of lava coastlines, turquoise tidepools, and deep waters to dive into. In Kawai’s opinion, no trip to Hawai‘i is complete without a little cliff jumping. Just make sure you’re doing so safely. on Kawai: ‘Ohana Dark Java $70

The Pacific Playground In Polynesian culture, the ocean is seen as a playground for those who respect it. Whether foil boarding, sailing, or working to protect the Pacific waters, islanders are connected in one way or another by the tides. We celebrate this with the Ho‘ōpio Collection—the clean, youthful silhouette represents the nostalgia of summers spent in the swell.
