Paramount's The Running Man x MattB Customs: Custom Distressed Boots

For the release of Paramount's The Running Man, MattB Customs was brought in to create a set of custom distressed boots - a project that took the team's craft into film promotion, well outside its usual sneaker-brand work.

Best fit for: film, TV, and entertainment projects needing custom or distressed props, promotional pieces, or collectibles.

Built to look lived-in, not just customised

Distressing a product convincingly is a different discipline to painting or engraving a clean design - it means building in wear, damage and character that reads as authentic, not as decoration. The finished boots were signed by director Edgar Wright and stars Lee Pace and Colman Domingo.

Why this one matters

Film and entertainment work sits outside MattB Customs' usual sportswear and streetwear partnerships, and that's exactly the point - it shows the same customisation craft translates to props, promotion, and collectible pieces for entirely different industries.

The takeaway: brand partnerships don't have to mean sneakers, and they don't have to mean sport. If a product can be handcrafted, engraved, distressed or personalised, MattB Customs can build it - whatever industry it's coming from.

Does MattB Customs work on film, TV, or entertainment projects?

Yes - this project for Paramount's The Running Man is a direct example, and MattB Customs can bring the same customisation craft to props, promotional pieces, or collectibles for entertainment and media campaigns.
