The popular lifestyle and sports apparel brand Nike has teamed up with 'Cactus Plant Flea Market' to create a shoe that looks like a cactus sneaker. This sneaker uses the damp, green color palette of a cactus and a desert. It incorporates a mixture of dark greens and washed-out yellows and browns which make the sneaker look like it came from a swamp or a forest.
The sneaker features a green fuzzy midsole with a sewn-on white Nike check logo that changes material as it passes from the midsole to the upper. In the spirit of Cactus Plant Flea Market there is a Yin & Yang sign in black and white on the rear upper of the sneaker. This pair of sneakers also breaks away from traditional symmetry by placing a Nike logo on the left sneaker's Tongue and a 'CPFM' logo on the right sneaker's tongue. There is currently no information on release date or price, which will likely come in the future.
