References: nike & highsnobiety
Cactus Plant Flea Market continues to grow its partnership alongside Nike as the duo presents the new Air Flea 2 sneaker model. It made its first public debut recently on the foot of Turnstile bassist Franz Lyonz at the Rolling Loud festival recently.
The silhouette is defined by its chunky tread sole unit that resembles the details of a large tire. Additionally, it appears to have a laceless design and is complete with two large straps that keep the foot in place. Other details include the dramatic cream tonal Swoosh branding complete in a smooth material. "Flea 2" can also be seen in terms of its branding detailing the heel tab and the tongue section.
