The Respect Issue

As a premium footwear brand guided by the aloha spirit, we do our best to lead with pure intentions and an appreciation for the world around us. We’ve spent the past year traveling across the Pacific Ocean in search of shared values and connection. Our latest expedition brought us to the shores of Fiji, where we were welcomed with open arms and big smiles. Our crew spent the week exploring far-off destinations, meeting friends, restoring reefs, planting trees, and ultimately finding a new home in our favorite turquoise waters. If our travels have taught us anything, it’s this: leave every person and place better than you found it. Together. We Go.

Kava is a traditional drink in the Pacific Islands that is known for its relaxing, euphoric properties. Tyler, Kekoa, and Cayla shared a ceremonious cup after a day of adventure and conservation.

“FIJIANS HAVE THIS SENSE OF RESPECT AND OWNERSHIP AS STEWARDS OF THEIR LAND AND OCEAN. EXPERIENCING THAT ON THIS TRIP WAS INCREDIBLE.”
Bula is the most common greeting you’ll hear in Fiji. Much like aloha, it means more than “hello”. To say bula is to wish someone good life and health.

_ Fiji is like nowhere else on earth. Lush, secluded, full of raw and natural beauty. Life there revolves around the ocean and its livelihood, a topic near and dear to the hearts of our Fijian friends. We asked our guide, Ian Ravouvou Muller, to show us around the waters for one week with one mission in mind—revival.

Ian builds these innovative “coral pyramids” from dead coral, saltwater, and calcium carbonate. The finished structures create completely natural habitats for fish to live and more coral to grow.
Restoring Land & Sea
Fiji is surrounded by the largest reef system in the Southwest Pacific. Thousands of square miles of life-giving coral rest below the ocean’s surface, and much of it is in need of restoration. Under the supervision of Ian and marine biologist, Dr. Austin Bowden-Kerby, we created a nursery of super coral (species of coral that can recover from stress, such as ocean warming) and replanted it in an area that is struggling to survive. With enough luck, the work we did here will help restore this reef to the thriving ecosystem it once was. After diving below the ocean’s surface we headed up on the shores of a remote sandbar way beyond the coastline. On the journey out there, Ian explained his next idea: to create a new island from coconut trees. The coconut tree, with its strong root structure and branch system, is able to hold sand together and prevent erosion. More than that, it provides everything a person needs to survive—shade, sustenance, materials to make clothing. As Ian says, “the coconut tree is the tree of life, so it was the perfect choice to start creating this island from the sandbar”. All-in-all, our time in Fiji was unforgettable. The perspectives we gained here will stay with us for the rest of our lives. We hope that if you ever travel to this incredible country, you remember to treat the land and people with kindness.
