Designed with Collegiate Volleyball player Keonilei Akana
Her signature "believe" on the shoe serves as a reminder to trust your process, overcome obstacles that come before you & always 'believe' in yourself.
Keonilei Akana's story is one of remarkable perseverance. Hailing from Hauula, Hawaii, she faced significant health challenges during high school, including two brain tumors. Despite these obstacles, she led her team to multiple state championships and earned accolades such as the Honolulu Star‑Advertiser Player of the Year. Her journey continued at the University of Nebraska, where she became a key player, known for her exceptional defensive skills and serving prowess. Most recently, Kaylei transferred to the University of Texas, where she continued her collegiate volleyball career—helping the Longhorns secure multiple NCAA titles.
The "believe" motif on her shoe encapsulates her philosophy: to trust in oneself, remain steadfast through adversity, and always move forward with confidence. It's more than just a word; it's a testament to the power of self-belief and resilience.
