We’re heading to ComplexCon in Longbeach, California this weekend with PUMA.

Have you heard of ComplexCon? If not, let us fill you in real quick. ComplexCon is a convention curated by the good people from the huge US pop culture, music and sneaker website, Complex. The convention will see a bunch of huge brands unveil new sneakers and clothes, performances from some big-name musical guests and loads more.

For more info on ComplexCon head here, but for now, check out why it’s the event that we wouldn’t miss for the world:

1. Getting up close and personal with the PUMA Future Rider OG and the Style Rider OG.

Having been unleashed on the world a few days ago, PUMA’s Future Rider OGand Style Rider OG have melded old-school and new school with complete class. Don’t call it a throwback though, the sneakers feature the newly developed RiderFoam making every step as cushy as possible. They’re available right now from PUMA.com and we can’t wait to get our hands (and feet) on them at ComplexCon.

2. Catching Kid Cudi in the flesh.

In case you ain’t heard, Kid Cudi is headlining the Saturday night at ComplexCon and we couldn’t be more pumped. He hasn’t toured Australia since 2012, so the opportunity to catch him live is certainly one to grab onto, especially considering he was tinkering with the idea of having a break after his 2018 Kanye collab Kids See Ghosts. Who knows, we might even hear a bit of his forthcoming Entergalactic project…

3. First We Feast has us licking our lips.

Holy hell there is some good looking food happening at ComplexCon. Curated by First We Feast, the list of vendors includes Prince St Pizza from New York, Harold’s Chicken from Chicago, Besties Vegan Paradise and more. You’ll have to excuse us while we wipe the drool from our mouth.

Harold’s Chicken looking mighty fine.

4. Anderson .Paak never disappoints.

Don’t know about you, but we start to get a little stir-crazy if we haven’t got an Anderson .Paak fix in a while. Sure we caught him earlier in the year, but that was before Ventura dropped, so we are more than ready to dive deep into a live performance of this instaclassic record with the great man.

5. ‘How the NBA Turned Into a 365-Day Empire’ conversation.

If you’re anywhere near as obsessed with the NBA as we are (and even if you’re not), finding out how the sport has transformed into a global empire via chats with industry insiders is going to be a ComplexCon highlight for sure. Definitely something that you won’t be seeing in Aus anytime soon!
