Day 1: A Fusion of Streetwear and Beats

Day one kicked off with a bang, transforming the venue into a melting pot of streetwear, pop culture, and explosive music, under the artistic direction of Cactus Plant Flea Market.

The vibe was jam-packed with fashionistas and hip-hop lovers mingling to explore the latest trends. The Marathon Clothing, representing the legacy of the late Nipsey Hussle, turned heads with their "All Money In" Brinks truck and the exclusive Marathon x ComplexCon merch drop.

ComplexCon was epic, with over 150 brands and 30 eateries, bringing back the iconic Pastelle by Kanye West and featuring names like Netflix and eBay. Foodies rejoiced at the First We Feast Lagoon, where flavors exploded with vendors like Trill Burgers & Tenders and EL AF Tacos.

Musically, the stage was lit with Field Trip Recordings and Zack Bia & Friends, setting the tone for the festival. From the Grand Ball Room's Sneaker of the Year panel to the 100+ booths, the day was a feast for the senses.
