That being said, we don’t want you to be overwhelmed before hopping into the virtual marketplace and checking everything out. Before ComplexLand 3.0 officially kicks off, we wanted to give shoppers a sneak preview at some of the biggest drops. The highlight for many will be the exclusive Complex merch designed by NIGO®. The latest crop of up-and-coming designers highlighted in our Brands to Watch space—True to Us, Brigade, ALL CAPS STUDIO, and The Crate—is also going to be offering some great products. Notable names like Atmos, No Vacancy Inn, and Market will also have a presence.
