Diesel’s Fall/Winter 2025 show revived its iconic inflatable figure as a graffiti canvas, uniting global street artists in a bold statement of creativity.

2025 was a breakout year. From concerts and festivals to premieres and pop-ups, we delivered hundreds of inflatables that transformed events into unforgettable moments. While every project brought something special, a select few stood above the rest—bold, internet-breaking builds that stopped crowds in their tracks and defined our year. These are the five inflatables that captured the most attention, sparked the most buzz, and reminded us why we love pushing the limits of what’s possible.

Custom inflatable activations are redefining how brands execute experiential marketing at large-scale events. When GMR Marketing set out to bring Nissan’s iconic Heisman House campaign to life at major college football games, they needed a touring inflatable structure that combined speed, durability, and unmistakable visual impact. The result was a custom inflatable house designed to perform flawlessly across multiple markets and high-profile events.

This project highlights two custom giant inflatable installations created for Netflix’s Wednesday Season 2, developed in partnership with experiential marketing agency MKG. Designed for high-profile premieres and fan events in the U.S. and Canada, these larger-than-life inflatables delivered striking visual impact, immersive experiences, and buzz-worthy moments that elevated brand activations and captivated fans.

This project showcases a bold 16-foot custom inflatable created for Dude Wipes at Natural Products Expo West 2025, in collaboration with experiential marketing agency Coffee n’ Clothes. Designed as a fully functional and eye-catching trade show activation, the larger-than-life inflatable drove massive foot traffic, created memorable photo moments, and demonstrated how innovative inflatable structures can transform brand experiences on the show floor.

This project highlights a custom giant inflatable Vans Old Skool shoe created in collaboration with Matte Projects for a high-impact brand activation.
