All sneakers will launch at ComplexCon 2024 in Las Vegas

ComplexCon 2024 is just around the corner. Complex’s annual convention, which features numerous product launches and limited-edition music performances, takes place this weekend, landing in Las Vegas for the first time. Travis Scott will headline the weekend with a Sunday night show and a CactusCon activation room. And there will be sneakers – lots of sneakers.

If you’ve made the trek to ComplexCon before, you know that a lot of the excitement comes from searching for the sneakers that big brands are releasing for the show. This year is no different: Nike is going all out, Saucony is in the mix and ASICS comes with a lovely pair of mesh runners. It’s a lot to process. What are all the sneaker happenings to watch out for at ComplexCon in Las Vegas this year?

We have a breakdown here, but there are a few caveats. One is that there will be some surprises. Part of the fun of ComplexCon is enjoying all the things that remain hidden until they appear on the show floor. The other is that some of the launches mentioned here aren’t full retail drops; there are teasers and giveaways mixed in, so make sure you check out what’s happening at the individual booths before investing time waiting in line. Here’s what’s happening in sneakers at ComplexCon 2024.
