        How we know

        What sits behind every card, and how we label it.

        Evidence labels

        Confirmed

        A primary source we retrieved directly: the brand's own post or site, an official ComplexCon listing, or ComplexCon's own account. 157 drops.

        Indicated

        Press from the last 90 days, with no first-party post yet. Complex coverage counts here as evidence that a drop exists. 6 drops.

        Detected

        A teaser or a secondary source without a named product. Shown in Still teasing, not in Every drop, until a named product appears.

        Where to start, defined

        Sold only here
        The brand or ComplexCon says the piece is sold only at ComplexCon, or it's at the Gift Shop, where ComplexCon says the Fragment collection sells and nowhere else.
        Saturday releases
        The brand names Saturday, October 3 as the release day.
        Win it or free
        You play, race, fish or line up for it rather than buy it, or the brand says it's free.
        Numbered and scarce
        The brand gives a number: a run size, one-of-ones, numbered pieces, or a perk for the first few customers.

        The rest of the rules

        Confidence, 0 to 1

        Computed from the sources, never self-reported. Independent sources combine; rewrites of one press release count once; sources older than July lose a little. Press-only claims cap at 0.90, and anything that fails the re-check caps at 0.35.

        ASON calls

        Our advice, marked as ours, and each one says what it rests on: a sourced release detail, the brand's past ComplexCons, the official hours, the booth, or simply that details aren't out yet. We don't publish line times, prices or limits no one has stated.

        Images

        All 338 images are credited to the account or outlet that published them and link to the original. We lead with the brand's own image where there is one; when a drop has none yet, we show the collab's campaign or the brand's earlier work, and say so. Want one removed? build@ason.solutions.
