Mystery no more as Turnstile bassist Franz Lyons uncovered the Cactus Plant Flea Market x Nike Air Flea 2 “Black” at Rolling Loud Miami last weekend. Turnstile’s performance was a major moment as this was the first time that a rock band performed at Rolling Loud, who also hosted other rockstar-inspired acts like Destroy Lonely, alongside headliners Playboi Carti, Travis Scott, and A$AP Rocky.
No one can ever really anticipate what Cactus Plant Flea Market (or Cynthia Lu) will do, but the upcoming Nike Air Flea 2 is undoubtedly one of its wildest silhouettes yet. While the sneaker is covered in sleek “Black,” its intriguing details immediately catch your attention as the extended sole unit features square lugs that create a tire-like finish; A concept that was first experimented with the Balenciaga Bouncer sneaker.
The Cactus Plant Flea Market x Nike Air Flea 2 is completely laceless and features two extra-thick velcro straps that hold the sneaker’s jumbo Nike Swoosh in place. The velcro straps also feature decorative snap buttons and an upside down Swoosh emblem. Finishing details include “Flea 2” branding on the tongue and pull tab.
