Following up on the bizarre Flea 1 collabs based on the Dunk Low design, the mysterious American fashion label Cactus Plant Flea Market reunites with Nike to introduce a new eccentric sneaker. This Cynthia Lu-led brand first forged its alliance with Nike in 2019, featuring the highly coveted Air VaporMax , while the CPFM Air Force 1s followed suit a year later. For 2023, the two brands team up to deliver this Cactus Plant Flea Market x Nike Air Flea 2 “Pro Green”, a chunky laceless shoe headlined by a beefy sole unit consisting of waffle traction patterns looking to surpass the unconventional design and intrigue of the previous silhouette.
Franz Lyonz, bassist of the American hardcore punk band Turnstile, rocked this unique-looking shoe during their Rolling Loud debut in Miami, stirring curiosity among sneakerheads and concertgoers. The shoe has a neoprene-like construction, with two large straps across the midfoot featuring metallic panels. Removable oversized Swooshes complement the chunky aesthetic of the shoe, accompanied by attachable charms displaying various Nike and CPFM logos. Flea 2 branding adorns the tongue, together with a yin-yang logo and an orange Nike Swoosh. Meanwhile, colourful pull tabs on the heel add to the silhouette’s peculiar attitude. The chunky and aggressive sole unit, seemingly inspired by tires and the Nike Overbreak , wraps up the model's superfluity of unique design elements.
