_ Food and the ocean are intrinsically connected. There’s a bounty waiting beneath the surface, but only for those who approach with respect and preparation. Our modern boat shoe, Moku Pae offers the support that fishermen like Derek Scherer need to succeed on the water.

MEN’S MOKU PAE

Quick-drying mesh engineered to ventilate and support your foot. Made with an EVA midsole— a foam material that provides cushioning and stability.

Barnacle-inspired design and lab-tested 'Wet Grip Rubber' deliver unmatched traction.

Non-marking rubber so you don’t have to worry about scuff marks.

We channeled the qualities we love most about local island life when designing our sneaker collection. Easygoing. Light. Full of youthful energy. And just like a day in Hawai‘i, you never know where they’ll take you. When Neale is running around Chinatown in search of fresh ingredients for his sherbet, he laces up his breeziest pair.

The Pacific Camo Collection

The significance of wai (freshwater) on Hawai‘i Island runs deep. It connects people, sustains life, and allows for growth. In Hilo, where Chef Mark Pomaski runs his restaurant, close proximity to natural resources means everything. And while he uses wai for access to local ingredients, we used it to inspire the new artwork on our Pacific Camo Collection.

‘Ohana Pa‘i

Our classic beach sandal in an exclusive new pattern. Inspired by the rivers and streams that formed ahupua‘a (land divisions) across the Hawaiian Islands.
