OluKai: Behind The Name⁣
Episode 4 - Moku Pae (moh-koo pie)
Translation: Boat, to come ashore
⁣
Hawaiian language expert and kumu (teacher) Kamuela Yim names our footwear with purpose and intention. "Giving names in Hawaiian is a pretty important thing. You don't just throw it around. You want to give some intention to it because it's the first gift and the longest lasting gift you can give someone" - Kamuela Yim.

Watch as Kamuela describes the inspiration behind the name of our modern No-Tie Boat Shoe: Moku Pae.
