“I eas looking to get some black Mea Ola because I love the octopus design, which were not currently available, except on this weird OluKai Outlet website. It looked like the regular OluKai website and I tried to purchase but my payment eas declined. I called OluKai, the real one, to inquire. They informed me that the Outlet website was bogus. They suggested the Hiapo in Dark Lava and gave me a coupon code fir my troubles. I received the Hiapo and have been wearing them since- very gery similar to the Mea Ola and I so indeed love them too. Thanks OluKai!”
