DUKE KAHANAMOKU SPECIAL EDITION
A great waterman, Olympic gold medalist, and forefather of the modern surfing culture – all of these well describe the Hawaiian legend Duke Kahanamoku. In the 1930’s, he founded a prominent brand bearing his own name Duke Kahanamoku, and as its spokesperson himself, he actively spread the Hawaiian culture to the rest of the world. With his remarkable insight and intuition inherited, “Duke Kahanamoku” perfectly replicates and introduces the beauty of the brand’s vintage wear.
