OCEANSIDE, Calif., — Experience the spirit of golf like never before with the OluKai x Linksoul Collaboration. This exclusive collection of footwear is designed to enhance the camaraderie, relaxation, and joy inherent in a day spent on the course. Perfect for golfers who appreciate both style and substance, this collaboration embodies the best of both brands’ philosophies, featuring the Wai‘alae Leather Golf Shoe, the Wai‘alae Canvas Slip-On, and Ulele Men’s Golf Sandals.
Kick off the summer season as the collection launches on June 14, with Early Access starting June 13. It’s a great chance for the Linksoul and OluKai communities to get their hands on these fresh designs early, just in time for the peak golfing months ahead.

“OluKai and Linksoul go together like Summer and Golf. We couldn’t pass up the opportunity to partner with them on this summer solstice collection, celebrating the longest and best golf day of the year. We share a philosophy that golf is best walked, with friends new and old, our line celebrates this shared spirit of Aloha with classic and casual takes on footwear,” shares Melissa Ziegler, VP of Marketing at OluKai.
