Update September 4, 2023: Cynthia Lu’s elusive imprint Cactus Plant Flea Market continue to shroud the Nike Air Flea 2 in mystery. We now have our first look at the 'Pro Green' colourway thanks to @beechkicks_. The colourway joins the 'Black Alabaster' iteration previously glimpsed at Rolling Loud. No release details as yet, but make sure to keep it locked to Sneaker Freaker for updates.
Cynthia Lu’s Cactus Plant Flea Market has been a regular fixture in the sneakersphere ever since their 2019 Nike VaporMax collaboration, crafting weirdly wonderful footwear for their cult-like fanbase. Last year, the dynamic duo linked up on the viral ‘Overgrown’, causing internet mass hysteria as sneakerheads attempted to comprehend the hairy Dunk Low. For CPFM and Nike’s latest, the Air Flea 2, the pair have opted for a stealth reveal with Turnstile’s Franz Lyons wearing them onstage.
Rumours of the Cactus Plant Flea Market x Nike Air Flea 2 begun to circulate back in June, and this is the first proper look at the silhouette. According to initial word via Sole Retriever, CPFM is set to release two colourways, with Lyons wearing the ‘Black/Alabaster’. A ‘Faded Spruce/Alabaster’ is set to be the second. The Air Flea 2 boasts a gargantuan construction, with massive rugged sole unit supporting the synthetic upper and enlarged Swooshes that cover the lateral side and look to be removable. Special branding details can be seen scattered throughout, including ‘Flea 2’ on the tongue.
Cactus Plant Flea Market and Nike are yet to lock in a release date for the Air Flea 2, although all signs point to pairs landing around the Holiday season.
