Ocean Heritage-Modern Performance-New Leather Sandal Styles
Luxury leather flip-flop sandals----yes, they exist. And priced at a premium relatively speaking, OluKai's take on this casual style -toward the water and other selections toward the land---can often be found retailing at high end fashion boutiques--- as well as securing spots on athletic/outdoor store shelves...
OluKai also stands for performance attributes -built into every pair (anatomical compression molded EVA midsole, comfortable footbeds that support arches and minimize heel movements with natural shock absorption-aka the Wet Sand Principle of bare feet slowing sinking into wet sand- fully supported, non-marking rubber or gum rubber outsoles that grip or primo leather with rubber pods) ...as well as refined silhouettes (imo) made for land/sea/beach.
For S/S 2014 there were many new styles featuring heirloom inspired details, artisan accents, and old world craftsmanship that reflects the brand's island culture-Hawaiian heritage.
