NiteCap, a company founded by Sarah Marantz Lindenberg, has received backlash with following what many perceive as cultural appropriation. The company produces a $98 silk hair bonnet that’s essentially a gentrified version of a $5 product, and Twitter isn’t happy especially as Lindenberg gave an interview in which she was praised as an innovator.  […]

Marvel‘s latest opus, Avengers: Endgame, is arguably the biggest pop culture event of 2019—and this includes a year in which Game of Thrones comes to an end. The culmination of the first 10 years (and three Phases) of the never-ending story, this three-hour film is said to help close a particular chapter in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. No spoilers, […]

2019 has not been a quiet year for Marvel.

One of the hubs of sneaker culture, Chicago is host to ComplexCon this weekend.

ComplexCon Chicago is here, and the inaugural event featured drops from Converse and Reebok, activations like a KAWS bus stop from Heritage Auctions, and Chicago natives like Rello and Joe Fresh Goods who drew steady traffic to their multiple booths.

The surprise drop was announced Friday during the series’ San Diego Comic-Con panel, after Kristen Bell, who plays the eponymous character, asked Hulu to release the revival “now” in celebration of her 39th birthday. The Veronica Mars revival was initially scheduled to arrive July […]

Another week, another list of music drops. This time, we have a lot of first-time collaborations, including those between Beyoncé and Tierra Whack, and Young Thug and Sheck Wes. That’s not all, though. Hip-hop heads have also finally received Nas’ highly-anticipated album, The Lost Tapes 2, so the debates will be extra hot this weekend. And we can’t go […]

ComplexCon Chicago will take place this weekend at McCormick Place, and, while artists like Schoolboy Q, Juice WRLD, and Ella Mai are set to perform, brands including Reebok, Converse, KNC Beauty and Chinatown Market are pulling out all the stops for the inaugural event.  The convention center will see a lot of releases over the course of […]
