London label Kiko Kostadinov just put its Crocs collaboration on the official store. The Kiko Kostadinov x Crocs VAALS went live on October 13 in three colourways: Black, Kelp and Yellow Sand. Yellow Sand is listed as a Kiko Kostadinov exclusive colourway. The company behind the site is Kiko Kostadinov LTD, based at Adelaide Wharf in London.
What the VAALS actually is
According to the product notes on Kiko Kostadinov's store, the VAALS reinterprets Crocs footwear with a silhouette that mixes traditional materials and the brand's technical design language. The upper is genuine tumbled leather paired with breathable sandwich mesh. A moc-toe (moccasin-style toe) with heavy-gauge stitch detailing anchors the front. Around the midfoot sits a custom-moulded TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane) band that draws on Crocs styles such as the Crocband and the archival Genna shoe. Toggle bungee lacing and a heel pull tab finish the upper.
Underfoot, a rubber outsole is integrated with Crocs' cushioned LiteRide footbed for lightweight cushioning and everyday support. That is the official material and construction list from the product page. The store leaves the Composition field blank beyond those parts, so we are not inventing a fibre breakdown.
VAALS is already a name inside the Kiko Kostadinov range. The same store carries VAALS-labelled clothing such as tailored trousers and a blazer, so the Crocs collab is landing under a label the brand already uses for its own cuts rather than inventing a one-off code name.
Colours, sizes and stock
The drop is three separate product pages: Black, Kelp and Yellow Sand. Sizing runs US Mens 4 through 13. When we checked shortly after the listing went up, sizes 7 through 12 were in stock across all three colours, while the smallest and largest sizes were already gone. The official price sits on each product page. Kiko Kostadinov's store header notes that pricing includes all duties and taxes, with no additional fees on delivery.
The brand also flags Crocs VAALS under Highlights on its site, so this is the main storefront path rather than a quiet archive listing. If a size you want is missing, the product pages are the place to watch for restocks; we are not seeing a separate Crocs.com listing for VAALS in search at the time of writing.
Why it matters
Kiko Kostadinov is best known for technical-craft tailoring and long-running footwear work with ASICS (ASICS Corporation). A Crocs collab is a different lane: everyday cushioning hardware wrapped in leather work-shoe cues. The VAALS sits in that gap. If you already follow the label for its ASICS projects or the rest of the VAALS-named clothing, this is the piece that lands closest to daily wear without asking you to treat a clog as a joke.
