ComplexCon has always given attendees a preview of what’s next. This year, that dynamic will be supercharged as “ComplexCon 2035” transports the culture 10 years into the future. That experience will come courtesy of Daniel Arsham, the event’s artistic director for 2025.
On October 25 and 26, Arsham’s futuristic vision will come to life in Las Vegas, where the artist will unveil a collection of his reality-bending sculptures and installations, as well as “Carsham,” a collab-packed gas station that will offer merch created with Hidden New York and Malbon, as well as a limited edition Hot Wheels.
For the fans, Arsham is also recreating some of his most legendary works, including an “infinity portal” that won a design award at Salone del Mobile Milano.
As always, ComplexCon will feature spectacular musical performances. Saturday, October 25, will see the return of Verzuz as Cash Money battles No Limit in a matchup of legendary New Orleans crews. Later that night, Clipse will take the stage, followed by trap corrido superstar Peso Pluma, and headliners Yeat & Friends.
On Sunday, 2hollis will kick off the closing night performances, setting the stage for Central Cee, Ken Carson, and all-time great Young Thug. Hot off the release of his UY SCUTI album, Thugger seems excited for ComplexCon, promising to perform fan favorite "Ninja,” and even asking Aidan Ross to stream it. We’ll see if that really happens, but it’s a good sign to hear the event’s marquee artist talking setlists.
ComplexCon 2025 will also serve up some of the best drops in the event's history. Those include an Undefeated x Nike Air Max 95 drop, a Jae Tips x Saucony ProGrid Triumph 4 'Poison Ivy' release, Jungles Jungles x Asics, a special Atmos x Nike Air Max 95 'Harajuku' shoe, a rhinestone Yankees fitted by LeMon, and much more.
Family Style will be on the ground at ComplexCon, too. The food festival is bringing a huge range of restaurants to Vegas, including legendary local spots and out-of-town greats, as well as crazy merch collabs and plenty of refreshing beverages and tipples.

Babylon LA x Jackass
Babylon LA, the skate and streetwear label with a store that houses a bowl out back, is bringing a piece of history to ComplexCon. That would be the original oversized shopping cart from Jackass: The Movie. Of course, there’s a method to this madness, with Babylon and Jackass also dropping an official collab. This one’s for the skaters, hardcore heads, and pranksters.
Crocs
At first, the world didn't always understand, but now, more than 20 years later, Crocs stands at the forefront of style, technology, and design. But it's not done yet. Enter Steven Smith, the legendary footwear designer who's worked with Crocs to create its new future-forward shoe: The Ripple. The sleek, innovative slip-on adds sneaker-style elements to Crocs' DNA, creating something totally new. At ComplexCon, Crocs will sell 150 Ripples to attendees on a first-come, first-served basis. Smith will also be on hand for live sketching sessions and more. Swing by to experience the intersection of creativity and comfort.
Modelo Especial
Modelo is the Official Beer Sponsor of ComplexCon 2025. True to that title, it's doing big things at the event, rolling in to amplify the Portraits of Heritage series it produced with Complex. Portraits of Heritage highlights the stories of El Creativo, Runsy, and D.I.O.S., a diverse group of Latino creatives making work that speaks to the future while honoring their ancestors. At the Family Style section of ComplexCon, Modelo will host its own Mercadito, selling exclusive “partner” beer cans and merch from each aforementioned artist, all amidst a dramatic photo moment designed by El Creativo.
Central Cee Syna World
UK rapper Central Cee is performing at ComplexCon 2025, and he’s bringing his Syna World streetwear label with him. Cench likes to play his cards close to his vest, so we’re not totally sure what he’s cooking up, but it’s likely to involve roadman staples like shell suits, bomber jackets, and matched sets, as well as hoodies and graphic tees.
ESPN Fancave
ESPN is activating at ComplexCon with a special ESPN Fancave. At the Fancave, sports fanatics can refuel and recharge, including quite literally with charging stations for devices. They’ll be able to watch live sports, try on the “Top Ten” chain, and catch photos in front of a massive “Top Ten” floral display by Mr. Flower Fantastic. That’s how you win.
Toyota x EARTHGANG
Toyota is the Official Auto Sponsor of ComplexCon 2025. To celebrate, the carmaker is bringing not one but two exclusive collabs to the event, along with its own merch. First, Toyota is teaming with EARTHGANG on a custom workwear drop. The Atlanta hip hop duo will also appear at the company's booth on Saturday for a meet-and-greet. Second, Toyota will offer an ultra-limited selection of upcycled workwear made with RCNSTRCT. Japan's finest auto company will also have its own workwear collection on site, decorated with vintage-style Toyota patches. All three will be available throughout the weekend, as will custom chain-stitching. There will also be vintage Toyota cars, and specialists on hand to answer questions about the vehicles.
Mowalola
Mowalola is a London legend. This year, her brand will be at ComplexCon, with a footprint featuring her best clothes and accessories. Her clothing designs pair energetic, sometimes edgy prints and patterns with unusual constructions and elevated materials like leather and high-shine plastic, adding a UK touch to the Las Vegas convention floor. Come through and see for yourself.
Espolòn Tequila
ComplexCon partner Espolòn Tequila is fully embracing the event’s futuristic theme, coming to Vegas with its own 3025 Cantina Train bar and lounge. The 3025 Cantina Train will serve Espolòn’s signature cocktails, including Margaritas, Spicy Margaritas, Palomas, and an exclusive, secret “3025” recipe. Espolòn will also have a self-service merch machine where guests can snag exclusive merch, along with a “Death to the Ordinary” photo moment, Brand Heroes sculptures, and Ramón’s Happy Hour, where guests can sample the brand’s higher-end products.
'Avatar: The Last Airbender'
Fan favorite animation franchise Avatar: The Last Airbender is coming to Family Style at ComplexCon. In Vegas, Avatar will operate a double-booth experience alongside local restaurant Shang Artisan Noodle. One booth will sell Shang’s signature Shan-Xi province dishes and special Avatar-inspired recipes, while the other sells a range of merch featuring the show’s characters and art. This is one match that masters all the elements of a good activation.
Chase for Business
Chase for Business was a key partner of ComplexCon 2024, where it proved the power of combining commerce and culture, streamlining transactions and enhancing attendee experiences. This year, Chase for Business is back, supporting energy brands, educating attendees, and activating within the Carsham Gas Station with The Club Lounge, a VIP, speakeasy-style space featuring a menu by Chef Nobu, private business coaching, massages, and Sushi Club merch. Think of it as an elevated rest top for strivers to relax, recharge, and reset.
Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority x Daniel Arsham
ComplexCon artistic director Daniel Arsham is known for work that reinterprets well-known objects, presenting them in new, elevated ways that prompt viewers to reconsider how they see the world. For the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority, he applied those skills to the “Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas” sign, updating the world-famous landmark with his sophisticated design language. Just see our headline image for proof. The LVCVA will also be at ComplexCon selling exclusive Daniel Arsham T-shirts bearing images of his sign sculpture.
New Era
The ComplexCon artistic director is always in a unique position to create memorable collabs and merch. For 2025, Daniel Arsham’s work with New Era looks to be one of those moments, with the partners set to release a collaborative hat only available at the ComplexCon shop. Buffalo's best will also release exclusive collections with Nigel Sylvester, Warren Lotas, Rodrigo Roji, and Eastside Golf, with each collaborator also scheduled to appear at the New Era booth. Come by for meet-and-greets and drops.
New Era Korea will have a booth at ComplexCon too, releasing its own headwear, apparel, and a FFALO buffalo mascot figurine.
Walmart x Dickies
Walmart and Dickies are combining forces at ComplexCon to create a familiar yet elevated storefront that encourages discovery and exploration. There, the partners will sell exclusive Dickies items and special ComplexCon patches. With Dickies deep roots as crucial street fashion, expect a collab that respects history while pushing towards the future.
Body by Raven Tracey
Body by Raven Tracey is coming to ComplexCon 2025 with a mission: wage a War on Hate. As such, the culture-forward, size-inclusive womenswear brand will create a booth that encourages self-love, combats division, and centers community and positivity as key to its creations. Show up, show love, and purchase statement pieces and intimate basics that take a stand.
Humane World for Animals
When an organization’s mission is global, it needs a name that reflects its scope. That’s why the Humane Society has rebranded to Humane World for Animals, in its fight for worldwide rights and safety for animals. And Humane World for Animals wants everyone to know what’s up. To get the new message out, it’s teaming up with Bricks & Wood to drop a limited-edition clothing collection at ComplexCon. Be there to get a rare hoodie or jacket that supports a good cause.
Diesel
Diesel is going back —way back — for ComplexCon. In fact, it will debut its DIESEL❤VES DIESEL VINTAGE collection at the event, featuring refurbished deadstock pieces from the ‘80s and ‘90s. It's a stylish way to beat waste. There will also be ComplexCon-exclusive Diesel hoodies and T-shirts for purchase, as well as a gigantic mountain made from denim scraps and fluorescent Las Vegas-style signage.
LEGO
LEGO will return to ComplexCon for 2025. This time, the beloved toy company will display a life-sized Formula 1 car built entirely from LEGO bricks. A pit-lane experience booth will surround the precision vehicle build, inviting people into an adrenaline-fueled world where racing dreams come true through LEGO creativity.
'The SpongeBob Movie: Search for SquarePants'
The SpongeBob Movie: Search for SquarePants arrives in theaters on December 19, 2025. To give fans an immersive preview of what to expect, Paramount is popping up with a SpongeBob booth at ComplexCon. Attendees can swing by for a memeable photo moment that brings one of the movie's soon-to-be-iconic scenes to life. Will it be a pineapple under the sea? Maybe. You’ll just have to come to Vegas to see for yourself.
Patta x Joe Freshgoods
This is an interesting one. When two giants of the sneaker world link up, heads take notice. Word is, this duo will announce its first-ever collab at CompleCon but won't offer it for sale at the convention. The look-but-don’t-cop approach is sure to stir anticipation up to epic heights. But Patta and JFG will give sneakerheads a chance to burn off some steam, hosting a run at Feature. There will also be free haircuts at their booth for those looking to get… fresh.
Xfinity
Xfinity is landing ComplexCon to launch Xfinity XtraSports, a new culture-based platform that combines basketball fandom with cultural heat. At ComplexCon, Xfinity will sponsor GOAT Talk Live, with guests Shilo Sanders and Boogie Cousins. It will also feature two giveaways every day of ComplexCon, where fans can get a shot at Complex-curated drops featuring exclusive sneakers, tech, and ComplexCon merch.
Chase Freedom
Chase Freedom is bringing its Cashback Courts program to ComplexCon. At the fast-paced basketball experience, attendees can learn all about Chase Freedom’s benefits through an LED half-court, live competitions, and panels hosted by Speedy Morman and Angelo Baque of Awake New York. It’s rumored that Clipse will be among Speedy’s guests. Awake will also create exclusive Chase merch for ComplexCon 2025. Last year, the Chase x Awake tote bags were everywhere at ComplexCon. This year, expect another banger collaboration, including two bags—one for Chase Freedom Cardholders only, and a general release bag.
Trojan
Trojan just dropped its most advanced product yet. Named the Trojan G.O.A.T., this new non-latex condom promises to be the “Greatest of All Trojan.” To keep momentum going for its release, Trojan will build its own one-of-a-kind bodega booth at ComplexCon, where it will release an exclusive hoodie, T-shirt, and hat created with Sinclair Global, and offer giveaways and good vibes all weekend. There will also be a claw machine at the Trojan booth, where attendees can try to grab branded Labubu T-shirts, keychains, shoelaces, socks, bandanas, and playing cards.
HUGO
HUGO is doing something new at ComplexCon. In Vegas, it will set up an immersive space to celebrate its HUGO x Jujutsu Kaisen clothing collaboration. The HUGO booth will house other exclusive product drops and interactive customization opportunities.
Neighborhood x Y-3
At ComplexCon, Y-3, the high-end sub-label designed by Yohji Yamamoto, will continue its work with legendary Harajuku streetwear line Neighborhood. With the former rooted in futuristic sportswear upgrades, and the latter specializing in reinterpreting and upgrading Western subcultures, past linkups have taken on a motorsports flavor. Will this be more of the same covetable, racing-inspired leatherwear or something entirely new? We're not sure yet, but there are rumblings of punk inspiration and live screenprinting at their booth. No matter what surfaces at ComplexCon, it's sure to be fire, and gone in a flash. Don't wait on this one.
Call of Duty
Daniel Arsham is linking with Call of Duty to create a custom ComplexCon 2025 “relic” and merch capsule inspired by the game franchise. COD will have a dedicated wall on the floor, displaying Arsham’s “relic” and custom merch. COD will also do periodic merch giveaways throughout the weekend.
Yuga Labs
Bored Ape Yacht Club is taking over ComplexCon. As the event’s Official Blockchain Partner, BAYC is bringing exclusive merch, collabs, and more perks all throughout the weekend. The BAYC booth will feature an interactive Gashapon machine packed with exclusive prizes, collectible digital posters, and grail pieces from streetwear designers including Sean Wotherspoon, John Geiger, and Jae Tips.
