After appearing on the feet of select celebrities and friends of the brand, Cactus Plant Flea Market’s next Nike sneaker is gearing up for release.
Official images have now surfaced for the CPFM x Nike Air Flea 2, a hulking shoe with two colorways. Both versions feature an aggressive, tire-like tread rising up from the outsole and consuming a majority of the upper. Two beefy straps secure the sneaker, while a big, puffy Swoosh is just one of many attachments that can be mixed and matched.
While friends and family of Cactus Plant Flea Market have been given personalized decorations to snap onto the Air Flea 2, the official images reveal what will be given to the general public. Cartoonish Swooshes, a yin-yang symbol, and spiders can be arranged as you like thanks to a surplus of studs placed on the straps and near the collar.

Both versions of the sneaker also feature insoles marked for “L” and “R” along with a colorful print in the style of heat maps. Custom branding also appears on the tongue tag, while the outsole features a glow-in-the-dark foot imprint.
What separates the two colorways is primarily the base. The “Faded Spruce” sees two different shades of green used across the two shoes’ base layer, beneath the straps. Double-heel pulls and panels affixed to the sole unit also take on multiple colors. “Black Alabaster,” meanwhile, remains black in those same spots.
In addition to the Air Flea 2 colorways, CPFM and Nike will also release a small apparel capsule consisting of a fisherman jacket, polo, climbing “Waffle” pant, and a crewneck sweatshirt with an affixed sock that’s become a signature of the their collaborations.
Through its Instagram post featuring a promotional film with claymation versions of LeBron James, Charles Barkley, and more, Cactus Plant Flea Market has announced its Nike Air Flea 2 will release Wednesday, Oct. 18. Both colorways of the sneaker will go for sale on CPFM’s website at 1 p.m. EST for $220 per pair. A release through Nike SNKRS could eventually follow but has not yet been confirmed. Pricing for the apparel ranges from $135 to $400.
