OluKai, the Hawaii-inspired premium footwear brand, has opened its first mainland storefront at Irvine Spectrum Center. The high-performing national retailer encourages everyone to live Aloha with products featuring thoughtful design and handcrafted details inspired by the ocean lifestyle.

Each OluKai store tells a different story, pulling inspiration from the local community – and Irvine is no exception. The expansive 1,600-square-foot store represents OluKai’s “Anywhere Aloha’’ mission tied to the idea of Laulima, meaning many hands working together – a nod to the deep-rooted farming heritage in Orange County. The store design resembles that of a Canoe Hale (house) – typically an A-frame shelter on the beach – further establishing the connection of Hawaii’s fishing community to Irvine’s historic farming community.
