OluKai's $300 Pāhi Boot Is Built to Be Resoled and Rebuilt
Irvine – October 19, 2026 -- OluKai's new Pāhi boot costs $300, gets early access on October 20 and goes on sale sitewide on October 22, with a sole designed to be resoled so the boots last for years.
The limited-edition boot is a collaboration with Neil Kamimura, a Big Island Hawai'i native and master bladesmith. Self-taught, Kamimura gained international recognition by winning the History Channel competition show Forged in Fire. When he is not restoring vintage motorcycles, he makes knives and swords sought after by celebrities and collectors.
Pull-up leather is built to develop a patina
The Pāhi uses premium pull-up leather saturated with dense waxes and oils. With wear, the leather develops a distinctive, multi-tonal patina. It also naturally resists water, drying, cracking and hardening over time.
