Name: Kiko Kostadinov x Crocs
SKU: TBC
Release Date: TBC

At Paris Fashion Week Fall/Winter 2026, Kiko Kostadinov unveiled his inaugural collaboration with Crocs, a partnership that perfectly encapsulates the brand collection’s theme of “systemized intuition” this year. While the runway focused on sculptural tailoring and military influences, the footwear stood out by reimagining Crocs through a lens of industrial utility.

Departing from the brand’s traditional clog DNA, this new silhouette appears as a sophisticated maturation of the 2025 Gallery Shoe. The design arrives in a rugged, hybrid form, blending the streamlined profile of a performance sneaker with the durability of a hiking boot. Constructed from grained leather and breathable mesh, the shoe features a chunky sole unit and a utilitarian directness that echoes the collection’s focus on protective, weather-resistant materials.

Presented in muted earth tones, this collaboration successfully balances rigid industrial design with the fluid needs of a modern city dweller. Ultimately, the debut marks a significant high point in both brands’ collaborative histories. Take a closer look at the collaboration above.
