VLAD BYKOV Mules: Personal Pairs, Shoes Matched to Cars and Watches, and Price

VLAD BYKOV mules cost from $800 to $5,000 depending on the material and the personalization: suede, crocodile leather or a combination, in men's and women's models. The House also makes personal pairs — for Conor McGregor, Arman Tsarukyan and Khamzat Chimaev, matched to an owner's car or watch, with the owner's name inside.
What do VLAD BYKOV mules have in common?
It matters to me that every model has a character of its own while the line stays recognizable.
That recognition rests on a few codes: Italian suede and crocodile leather, a soft insole, piping and a lining that work as a color accent, and, in the Orange Private Edition collection, an entirely bright orange sole.
Which personal mules did the House make for Conor McGregor, Arman Tsarukyan and Khamzat Chimaev?
The next step was personal pairs, created for particular people.
We made mules for Conor McGregor, Arman Tsarukyan and Khamzat Chimaev. Each such order is its own work with materials, color and details.
For Conor in particular, we made pairs in green nubuck crocodile and in khaki matte crocodile.
In personal orders we place the owner's name inside the shoe. For me it is a special signature: a detail that says whom this work is dedicated to.
I enjoy making shoes for people of different characters. One chooses calm suede, another bright crocodile leather, a third wants a combination tied to a particular piece in his wardrobe.
How did the mules for a client's Rolls-Royce Spectre come about?
The source of the idea for an individual pair can be the owner's car.
For one client I made combined mules, matching their design to his Rolls-Royce Spectre with an orange interior. The car's color combination became the starting point for the work on the shoes.
I like the thought itself: if a man chooses his watch to suit his car, why not choose his shoes to suit it too?
The tones of the interior, the textures of the trim and the contrasting details can continue in leather, suede, piping, lining and stitching. That is how a pair appears that is connected to the owner's personal taste and the things he lives with.
This is an individual VLAD BYKOV order inspired by the client's car. The mention of Rolls-Royce describes the source of the color solution and does not imply an official collaboration with the car brand.
Can shoes be matched to a watch — Richard Mille or Jacob & Co.?
We have also made individual shoes whose color combinations were chosen to suit watches that belong to our clients — among them Richard Mille and Jacob & Co. models.
The tones of the dial, the case or the strap became the starting point for choosing the materials and details of the pair. A particular color could appear in suede or crocodile leather and repeat in the piping, the stitching or the lining.
These are personal orders for watch owners, not joint collections or official collaborations with Richard Mille and Jacob & Co.
For me this approach shows what individual work can do. The client already has a thing he loves, and we create shoes that complement it naturally and tie the details of the look together.
Who does VLAD BYKOV make mules for?
Very different people choose our mules: athletes, entrepreneurs, public figures and private clients. What unites them is attention to their own style, even though their tastes and ways of life can differ greatly.
In my view, mules are the ideal shoe for a man who lives between countries, spends a lot of time in warm climates and can afford to wear a shoe with an open heel.
I came to them myself through my own wardrobe. I like pairing mules with linen trousers, light suits and silk. I like how they support the ease of a look while keeping it expressive through material, shape and color.
That is how I understand modern elegance — Modern Sprezzatura. A man chooses his things carefully, feels proportion and detail, and then wears it all naturally.
For me, mules have become one of the most precise forms of this idea. Once I made the first men's pair for myself. Today we continue this work for people with different stories, wardrobes and wishes.
