Lumpy suede, a secret pocket and a sole that looks like it's been left out in a muddy field. Travis Scott was never going to do anything normal with the Air Flea 1.
Cactus Jack, Cactus Plant Flea Market and Nike have joined forces on CPFM's oddball silhouette, and we've finally got a proper look at it. Meet the Travis Scott x CPFM x Nike Air Flea 1 'Cactus Jack' (IX7250-200), dressed in Khaki/Night Forest-Oatmeal-Baroque Brown.
A Closer Look at the Travis Scott x CPFM x Nike Air Flea 1 'Cactus Jack'…
What's Going On With That Upper?
Khaki suede covers the lot, but don't expect it to be smooth. The panels are deliberately puffy and uneven, broken up by visible stitching, so the whole shoe looks almost hand-stuffed.
Proportions-wise, there's a bit of SB Dunk Low in there. The eyestay has been reshaped, though, and the collar and ankle padding are seriously chunky.
Then there's the Swoosh. It's oversized, it's reversed (very Travis) and it comes in a deep Night Forest green.
Did Someone Say Stash Pocket?
They did. That bulky tongue isn't just for show: there's a hidden stash pocket tucked inside it. Thick laces run over the top, so you'd never know it was there.
Any Other Details Worth Knowing?
Plenty. Here's what else is going on:
A striped heel tab and a pull tab at the back
The Cactus Jack logo and CPFM's smiley face merged into one at the heel
Pink pops on the tongue, the sockliners and the medial lining
A textured brown midsole with a mud-dipped look
Flip it over and the earthy brown carries on underneath.
Hang On, Haven't We Seen the Flea 1 Before?
Sort of. CPFM and Nike first showed the silhouette around 2021/2022 in a 'Barley' colourway, with a quilted khaki upper, an oversized sail Swoosh and a mossy green sole.
That pair was meant to drop, but it was pulled before release. According to several reports, the fit simply didn't match the size on the label.
Instead, the Flea 1 'Overgrown' (DQ5109-300) arrived in November 2022, covered in grass-like fuzz and dropping via CPFM's own site and SNKRS. The Air Flea 2 followed a year later.
Now the silhouette is having a proper moment. Alongside the Travis pair, a revived 'Barley' (IU5238-700) and a second colourway (IU5238-001) are reportedly on the way too.
Who's Behind Cactus Plant Flea Market Again?
Cynthia Lu. She started sketching out ideas for the brand in 2012 while working in PR at Pharrell's Billionaire Girls Club, and CPFM properly surfaced around 2015. Think smiley faces, four-eyed characters and a look that feels hand-made on purpose.
Since then, Lu has made merch for Kids See Ghosts and Kid Cudi's Man on the Moon III, designed an adult Happy Meal box for McDonald's in 2022 and worked with Nike since 2019, from the Blazer Mid and Air Force 1 to the Dunk Low.
Is This His First Time Working With CPFM?
Since launching Cactus Jack in 2017, Travis has become one of Nike and Jordan Brand's biggest collaborators. And no, this isn't his first link-up with CPFM either.
In 2024, Travis showed off a furry white CPFM Air Force 1 on his Instagram Story, captioned "Laflame CPFM. Either rare or don't dare." It looked like a one-off.
Then in February 2026, CPFM shared shots of Travis wearing a sample of this very Air Flea 1, alongside pieces from an unreleased CPFM x Nike ACG collection. Now that sample is heading for a proper release.
How About the Drop Date?
The Travis Scott x CPFM x Nike Air Flea 1 'Cactus Jack' is expected to land in spring 2027 in men's sizing via Nike SNKRS. There's no exact date or UK pricing yet, so we'll update this as soon as we know more.
Keep an eye on our release calendar so it doesn't pass you by.
