King Ice Brings Pokémon Heat to ComplexCon Las Vegas 2024
Where Hip Hop Jewelry, Streetwear, and Iconic Nostalgia Collide
ComplexCon Las Vegas 2024 was nothing short of electric—and King Ice came through with an exclusive drop that had Pokémon fans and streetwear lovers lining up all weekend. From the moment the doors opened, our booth became the go-to destination for collectors, creatives, and hypebeasts eager to check out the newest additions to our official Pokémon Jewelry Collection.
We dropped three standout designs at the event—Gengar, Snorlax, and the legendary leader of the Squirtle Squad—each decked out in iced-out detailing, high-quality finishes, and full of character. These pieces didn’t just bring the nostalgia—they brought serious hip hop energy to the Pokémon universe.
The Vibe: Hip Hop Culture Meets Pokémon Fandom
Las Vegas was buzzing, and ComplexCon brought together the world’s best in streetwear, art, sneakers, and music. But one thing stood out: how deep the love runs for iconic franchises like Pokémon when fused with bold hip hop jewelry aesthetics.
Our King Ice Pokémon booth had a steady stream of visitors all weekend—everyone from longtime collectors to newcomers discovering our designs for the first time. With LED-lit displays, custom cases, and a team of stylists ready to help fans find the perfect fit, the entire experience was immersive and next-level.
Spotlight on the New Drops: Gengar, Snorlax & Squirtle Squad
The highlight of the weekend? Our exclusive ComplexCon Pokémon drop—featuring three of the most loved characters from the franchise, now immortalized in icy pendant form.
• Gengar Necklace
The mischievous ghost-type Pokémon was brought to life with a vibrant purple hue and glistening stones that matched his iconic smirk. A must-have for any fan of Generation I Pokémon and those who love a dark, edgy vibe.
• Snorlax Necklace
The chillest, sleepiest icon of all time got the King Ice treatment with a chunky pendant and polished enamel that mirrored his relaxed, oversized energy. It's a bold piece for anyone who knows how to turn downtime into style.
• Squirtle Squad Necklace
Leader of the coolest crew in the Pokémon universe, this design was a tribute to Squirtle’s signature shades and no-nonsense swagger. Perfect for fans who roll deep and bring the attitude.
Each of these pieces was created with our signature craftsmanship—from hand-set stones to durable finishes that bring longevity to every piece. They were designed not just to wear, but to collect, flex, and pass down.
Why This Drop Mattered: Jewelry as a Cultural Connector
At King Ice, we don’t just make jewelry—we tell stories. And our partnership with Pokémon is a prime example of how culture, nostalgia, and street fashion collide to create wearable art that resonates across generations.
Whether you're repping a childhood favorite or matching your fit with an iconic character pendant, these pieces tap into something deeper: shared memories, authentic style, and a love for pop culture that never fades. Pokémon meets hip hop isn’t just a trend—it’s a statement.
Events like ComplexCon are more than just showcases—they’re opportunities to connect. We met longtime supporters, new customers, influencers, and content creators who all brought energy and love to the booth. The conversations, the stories, the content—this drop became more than a launch. It became a moment.
