My name is Marvin Baroota, designer of SoLegit customs. The customized cleats you see on your favorite NFL athletes are most likely done by me. What started off as a hobby has now become a day AND night job. My journey began in 2016, where I started painting in a cardboard box— my makeshift spray booth. I am blessed to say I’m still on this journey, doing what I love.

I usually don’t respond. But this was different. I felt like I wanted to try something new with my cleats. And I gave Marvin a shot. Everybody wants to be different. Especially on the football field. I think the cleats part of this has given guys an outlet to express themselves.” - Tyrann Mathieu
