Each of them appears on their own GAS trading cards, which are included with the magazine, lending to its collectability. There are in-depth features, including a profile of stylist Lysa Cooper, who is responsible for crafting indelible looks for Beyoncé, Rihanna, and more, and an essay exploring if consumers are actually ready for new sneakers. And an extensive photo story takes you inside Oakley’s rarely seen, futuristic headquarters, tucked away in Foothill Ranch, California. The issue also includes an advice column on creativity from JeBlanc jewelry designer Jeniece Blanchet, and an exploration on what’s next from industry insiders, including Complex’s co-founder and chief innovation officer, Marc Eckō.
