Premium Headwear Meets Premium Footwear
We teamed up with our friends over at OluKai - masters of ocean-ready footwear - to drop a capsule that’s all about movement, purpose, and community.
Introducing the melin x OluKai ‘Ohana Collection: a head-to-toe kit built for high-output days and laid-back weekends alike. Minimal in design, maxed out on performance. Just how we like it.
We’ve always admired OluKai for their craftsmanship, their roots in Hawaiian culture, and how they show up for their community. They put the same level of care and intention into their sandals as we do our headwear. So it only made sense to build something together. Something clean, versatile, and built to move.

The ‘Ohana
This collab goes deeper than product. It’s rooted in moments that connect us—the early mornings on the water, the post-surf hangs, the boat rides that turn into epic memories. It’s about showing up for your people.
melin Fam, Eli Olson gets it. Raised on the North Shore of Oahu, Eli’s built his ‘Ohana through a lifetime on the water. In this campaign, he’s joined by fellow surf legends and longtime friends Mark Healey and Maddix Alotis—two guys who understand that ‘Ohana is more than just a word. It’s who you roll with, who you count on, and who’s still there when the day’s done. This drop is a celebration of that bond. Of movement, togetherness, and timeless design that lives up to the moment.
The melin x OluKai limited-edition capsule is available now on melin.com, olukai.com, and select premium retailers.
Wherever life takes you—make sure you bring your crew!
