Work of Art

We’re part of culture. We’re fans, collectors, and obsessives too. We work with creators whose voices reflect the pop culture they speak to. We create culture through stories, experiences, capsule collections, and collaborations across music, style, sneakers, sports, and food.

style

Style is where sports, fashion and identity overlap. Where kits become fits, and regional designers create counter narratives to global trends. Focusing on streetwear, athleticwear, and urban style, we spotlight the region’s designers, style codes, and the ways people actually wear them.

Sneakers

Sneakers are more than drops. We look at how they’re worn, lived in, styled and the stories they carry along the way. Complex has long been an authority on sneaker culture with shows like Sneaker Shopping, treating kicks as culture, memory and storytelling rather than just a product.

PARTNERSHIP
SOLUTIONS

Complex MENA works with commercial partners as cultural collaborators, not add-ons, shaping ideas together from concept to execution.

Brands are woven into original content, video franchises, print drops, and IRL experiences in ways that feel lived-in, not labeled.

The goal is simple: make brands show up inside culture with credibility, context, and staying power.
