It’s that time of year when ComplexCon ascends on the Hip-Hop culture. This year, Complex has tapped one of the biggest names in the music industry, Travis Scott, to help curate their eight annual festivities.
Over the weekend, it was revealed that none other than La Flame aka Travis Scott would be taking the helm for this year’s ComplexCon in Las Vegas. It all goes down Saturday, November 16 and Sunday, November 17 at the Las Vegas Convention Center, which will tout over 1,000,000 sq ft, for brands like Nike, adidas, Awake NY, New Era, Cactus Plant Flea Market, Hidden Undefeated, Mitchell & Ness, and many more to outfit pop-ups, special drops and activations.
It will be dubbed CactusCon (of course) as Cactus Jack, who headlined the first ComplexCon back in 2016, will be the event’s Artistic Director and headliner for the Sunday night finale. As cool as the news is, sneakerheads want to know if Travis Scott will be breaking out some new exclusive kicks for the event or if he’ll be rocking some joints we’ve already seen before (just sayin’).
In a press release from ComplexCon, we get an idea of what we can expect now that the “Highest In The Room” rapper is in control of the festivities.
Under Scott’s creative direction, Cactus Jack will infuse its iconic style throughout ComplexCon. Scott will also design exclusive merchandise only available at the festival. The multi-platinum, diamond-certified recording artist, producer, and style icon’s role builds upon ComplexCon’s history of working with the most prominent and innovative artists such as Takashi Murakami, to push artistic and experiential boundaries.
So are we getting some exclusive Travis Scott Nikes or Jordans?! Re-releasing some grails that were hard to cop? Again, inquiring sneaker minds want to know.
VIP and general admission tickets are already available at ComplexCon.com.
