Cactus Plant Flea Market x Nike Swamp Sponge Dunk Release Date

After being debuted by Travis Scott at Nike’s Toma El Juego event in July, the latest collaboration between the Beaverton, Ore.-based sportswear brand and New York City streetwear label Cactus Plant Flea Market is getting its closest look yet.

The latest images, shared by @ethnicmari and @repeatatlanta on Instagram, show the unreleased Cactus Plant Flea Market x Nike Swamp Sponge Dunk in detail, including the different multicolor styles and unique materials that separate the set from the standard version of the Dunk model. 

Using a mix of textures similar to what was featured on Cactus Plant Flea Market’s customizable Nike Blazer Mid “Sponge By You” sneakers, the upcoming Swamp Sponge Dunks mix shaggy faux furs, two-tone mesh, exposed foam padding and more bold design choices. Amplifying the looks even more is their mismatched colorways, aside from a black-based style, use different shades on nearly every panel.

With three pairs reportedly set to be released later this year in Sequoia/Sequoia/Sequoia (IH5094-300), Photo Blue/Digital Pink/Sequoia (IH5094-400) and Psychic Purple/Photo Blue/Gold Suede (IH5094-500), it’s possible that the pair previously worn by Travis Scott won’t see a public release.

Cactus Plant Flea Market (CPFM) was founded in 2015 by designer Cynthia Lu. Known for its breadth of collaborations with brands ranging from McDonald’s to Stussy. However, the label’s work with Nike is arguably its most popular, with both apparel and footwear regularly seeing high demand. The most coveted, a 2020 Dunk Low covered in Swarovski crystals, frequently resells for over $5,000.

Despite the arrival of early images, an official release date for the Cactus Plant Flea Market x Nike Swamp Sponge Dunk has not been confirmed. However, given the fact that in-hand pairs have begun circulating, a wider launch shouldn’t be too far off. The collaboration is expected to be released this fall with each pair retailing for $150.
