Have you got a campaign you'd like to involve us in? Get in touch!
Netflix
In honour of the new Netflix movie ‘Don’t Look Up’ Netflix asked us to create a custom pair of New Balance 550s using a 4.5 billion year old meteorite.
34 fragments of the Pallasite Meteorite were cut with precision to create these one of a kind custom New Balance 550s.
You can view press articles written about this project below.
Honda Custom Motorcycle
Honda challenged us to customise one of their motorbikes and entered us into a competition against other teams across Europe.
We teamed up with OG Motorcycle customiser Guy 'Skid' Willison. He tuned up the 125 to a dragster racing bike. So when designing the paint job, we wanted to make it look like the paint couldn't stay on, it was that quick!
Google x ellesse
We worked with Google to create 130 pairs of customs for a campaign promoting their new Google Image Search function.
We created a canvas, using various different mediums of paint techniques to create different textures. This was then shot and edited and printed onto material. We then completed the cut and sew customs, adding hand painted assets to each pair!
The customised trainers were then put on posters and billboards across the UK that you could take a picture of using the Google Lens app to be able to get a pair!
Stella McCartney
We collaborated with Stella McCartney on a collection for London Fashion Week in 2018. We customised two Men’s and two Women’s Eclipse silhouettes. The pairs were showcased at Stella McCartney’s flag ship store in London, for the launch of #StellaSneakerWeek. After the success of the London Fashion Week collection, we were also asked to create a collection to be sold in the Dubai flag ship store.
Channel 4 - Custom Kicks
We worked with Channel 4 to create a mini series ‘Custom Kicks’ which was made available to watch on E4’s YouTube channel. Across 6 episodes, Matt, Kelvin and Lola took on various projects, some new and some old, revamping various different silhouettes with new designs!
Toblerone
We created 100 custom card holders which were sold on the Toblerone website to celebrate the launch of their new Golden Bar.
The design incorporated neutral tones with paint splats of bolder colours. They were being sold individually or as a pair. As they were limited edition, we also numbered each one.
Slick Gorilla
We teamed up with Slick Gorilla to create a pair of custom Jordan’s and a custom washbag. While the custom Jordan’s were showcased in the Slick Gorilla offices, the washbag was part of a Slick Gorilla giveaway for their fans. This was accompanied with a short video interview with Matt which you can watch here.
Sony Entertainment - Bullet Train
We created a custom for the release of the new Sony movie Bullet Train!
We were asked to create the design based on a character in the film. We chose the character ‘The Wolf’ played by Bad Bunny, and created a piece of content documenting the process as part of their PR roll out.
Other Projects
Superdrug
Superdrug asked us to create a custom pair of Nike AF1 sneakers inspired by their ‘Dolls After Dark’ halloween makeup to be used for their Instagram giveaway. Each side of the shoe represented one of the Dolls and entrants commented their favourite inspired look to be in with a chance of winning a 1 of 1 custom!

We teamed up with Foot Locker for their ‘Voice of the Future’ campaign to create a custom pair on Nike TN's.

MBC took part in a charity event at the Manchester Youth Zone back in January 2022, doing a custom kicks workshop for #sizeday! The event was hosted by size? where we taught the next generation how to make their own customs. Size? supplied everyone with a free pair of brand new kicks and the team showed them how to paint them!

We were asked to work on a campaign with Superdry to promote the launch of their new vegan trainers! The team developed a design and once signed off, completed the custom which was then used to create a TikTok for their channel.
