Tom Yoo is the artist best known for creating both the world’s 1st sneaker NFT and the 1st sneaker made from LEGO bricks. Yet he never imagined when he walked away from a career in investment banking/private equity that he’d become a pioneering NFT artist. Over the span of his career, Tom has collaborated with the likes of Nike, Gucci, Adidas, and LEGO, to name a few. He’s proud to represent as an Asian American artist and his mission is to raise up the next generation of younger BIPOC creatives.

 For Complexcon Tom will also be debuting his most ambitious sculpture to date, the first ever 10 ft tall Lego “Jordan 1”. Tom has also created an immersive experience based off his deeply personal character Chie. The story of Chie, follow an Asian American girl who becomes the first woman to play in the NBA.

As part of the experience Tom will recreate Chie’s childhood apartment, featuring exclusive limited-edition merch and the digital release of ““CHAPTER 4: HELLO WORLD” our first glimpse of Chie as an adult. However, the introduction is bittersweet as we witness the hate she encounters simply because of the color of her skin. Yet, she endures… eventually turning a deeply, wounding experience into a powerful, motivating force.
