ComplexCon Day 1 was for the books. The energy in the air was excitement. Everybody important in pop culture in the same room. Every brand you have heard of and not heard of side by side.
Complex’s Vegas takeover hit different on Saturday, November 16, when the Las Vegas Convention Center became the epicenter of hype, drawing thousands of fans for a weekend of exclusive sneaker drops, coveted streetwear, and unforgettable activations. With Travis Scott steering the ship as artistic director, the Cactus Colosseum was straight-up electric. It wasn’t just about the gear—it was about the experience. Fans copped custom jerseys, got a taste of Cacti drinks on the house, and vibed through one-of-a-kind CactusCon activations, all while soaking in Travis’s larger-than-life presence. It was a full-throttle dive into his world, and anyone who was there walked away knowing that this was more than just an event—it was the culture.
One booth that 360 Magazine was particularly drawn to was the NLE Choppa x Factory Lab collaboration. The two recently dropped this eye-catching boot in early October, but decided to showcase it to a larger audience at ComplexCon. The silhouette was absolutely incredible—almost like a Yeezy boot fused with a duck’s foot. It’s crazy to think this unique design was inspired by NLE Choppa’s casual interest in ducks, but that’s the beauty of streetwear: turning the unexpected into something unforgettable.
If you spent your childhood dreaming of strutting to the ring like Stone Cold Steve Austin after that iconic glass-shattering intro, ComplexCon just made your wildest fantasies come true. In a hype move to promote its Netflix debut this January, WWE let fans live out their main-character energy by recording their own walk-out videos, complete with official entrance themes and epic Jumbotron graphics. But the fun didn’t stop there—Loiter x WWE dropped a fire collection of vintage-inspired tees, and wrestling icons like Cody Rhodes and Liv Morgan lit up the scene. The mic drop moment? Triple H crashing Travis Scott‘s headlining set on Sunday night. Spoiler alert: wrestling is cooler than ever.
ComplexCon was buzzing with star power as A-listers roamed the venue, creating major moments for fans and camera phones alike. Big Sean, Nav, and a crew of others kicked back with Complex News, chatting with reporter Jordan Rose, while Ken Carson filmed a live episode of Sneaker Shopping with Joe La Puma. The marketplace was packed with heavy hitters too—Offset, Gunna, and more were seen checking out the latest drops. On top of that, viral food sensation Keith Lee, rapper Tobe Nwigwe, Lil Yachty, and a slew of other celebs were spotted mixing and mingling, adding to the energy and excitement that made ComplexCon the event of the year.To close out Day 1, ComplexCon delivered an unforgettable concert experience that had the crowd buzzing long after the final note. Metro Boomin took the stage, spinning hits from the likes of 21 Savage, Future, Kendrick Lamar, and more, setting the tone for an epic night. Ken Carson and Destroy Lonely followed with high-energy sets, performing tracks from their latest albums Great Chaos and Love Last Forever. But the true highlight came when Playboi Carti hit the stage. Kicking things off with the exclusive, unreleased track “H00dbyair,” the crowd went wild as the floor literally shook and fans lost themselves in the chaos. It was the kind of energy that only ComplexCon can bring—an unforgettable night that left everyone ready for more.
