Cactus Plant Flea Market has established itself as the most envelope-pushing creative collaborator in footwear, with projects both widely embraced and widely panned. Whether or not you’re a fan of Cynthia Lu’s vision, CPFM has to be appreciated for its eccentric appeal and inability to be bland.
There’s no doubt that CPFM is due to be one of Nike’s prominent collaborators in 2024, and this first peek at their next drop in this new year loops back to one of their original projects with the Swoosh. Their iconic Air Force 1 from 2019 is making a comeback sporting bold new colorways of mossy green and vivid purple that speak to the brand’s kooky identity. Its trademark design detail is the enlarged “SUNSHINE” and “FLEA” appear plastered on the upper, an homage to the Air More Uptempo.
These teaser images by A$AP Bari are all we know thus far, so it’s not entirely clear if Nike has established these two as the offered CPFM Air Force 1 versions or if the design options are returning to Nike By You.
In other upcoming Nike collaboration news, here’s some new about the Patta Air Max 1 due out later this year.
