Correct it pls!

If the pair of shows doesn't match can we say" they are not matching??

I believe you probably mean "shoes" not "shows". No, you would say "They don't match". Though there are exceptions, the progressive tenses ("-ing") are generally not used with stative verbs (verbs that describe a continuing state).
