Rooted in exploration and built with intention, the Hōkūle‘a Paepae honors the spirit of voyaging and the legacy of the Hōkūle‘a canoe. Inspired by the journeys of the Polynesian voyagers, this sandal brings cultural storytelling to life through thoughtful design. Featuring embroidery inspired by the stitching of traditional sails and a toe badge crafted from actual Hōkūle‘a sailcloth, every step tells a story. A full-grain leather-wrapped midsole is laser-etched with a map of the canoe’s journeys, while non-marking rubber pods on the outsole provide traction wherever you go.

Key Features:

• Premium Leather Wrap: Both the midsole and outsole are wrapped in soft, full-grain leather for a refined, long-lasting finish.
• Laser-etched Details: The full-grain leather-wrapped midsole is laser-etched with a map of the Hōkūle‘a’s journeys across the Pacific
• Sail-Inspired Stitching: The embroidered pattern on the straps mirrors the stitching of the Hōkūle‘a’s sails.
