GEEDUP described the LA Capsule as “a collection cultivated for our @complexcon activation”: some of its best sellers, remixed with Los Angeles details throughout, with a very limited run of each style.

The key piece was the LA Team Logo Reversible Duck Down, limited to 25 pieces. Black on one side and silver on the other, it carried a 90/10 duck down fill, a Team Logo tackle-twill appliqué, a zip-flip removable hood and a SYD–LA emblem on the left arm. Around it sat LA Team Logo hoodies in cream and navy, an LA Winners Circle crewneck, an LA Core Logo spray jacket, LA Keino track pants and LA Core Logo tees.

In the run-up GEEDUP posted a line it would repeat once the weekend was done: “Everything foreign, everything premium.” On 7 November it posted from the convention floor at Booth B16 with another: “From the west to the world.” The next day it shared King Combs at the booth, alongside the Platinum Group crew.

Once ComplexCon wrapped, GEEDUP gave the credit to its “brother and US confidante”, A.J. Corleone. Without his help, the brand wrote, “our touch down on US soil wouldn’t have been possible, especially in a period where we can’t even catch a flight to another state.”

A year later GEEDUP was back in Long Beach, this time with a US webstore behind it.
