Cactus Plant Flea Market and Nike‘s Dunk collaboration has been teased and rumored since this spring, and now we’ve been given a first look at the highly-anticipated sneaker. Revealed in the NBA bubble by none other than LeBron James, the Cactus Plant Flea Market x Nike Dunk Low discards the collage-style build of past CPFM x Nike kicks like the Vapormax 2019 and Blazer Mid in favor of a blinged-out look that artfully toes the line between extravagant and tacky.Cactus Plant Flea Market x Nike Dunk Low Covered from heel toe toe in glittering, Swarovski-esque rhinestone crystals, the shoe serves up 360 degrees of textured style. The Cactus Plant Flea Market x Nike Dunk Low base for all this bling is a monochromatic synthetic material with a light gray shade, intentionally unremarkable to ensure all attention remains focused on the embellishment. Of note, however, are the collar flaps: usually stitched directly into the upper, here they hang loose in SB Dunk High style. Gray midsoles and outsoles arrive down below to round off the build.
These three classic Nike silhouettes have been given an apt Christmas makeover, taking influence from ugly sweaters, Saint Nicks’ coat, and other holiday themes such as the use of red, gold, green, and white.Nike Air Force 1 Hi Christmas features a base made from a Christmas sweater-like fabric print that appears on the toe box, tongue, and mid-panel. Joining this is dark red leather that works its way over the rest of the upper.Nike Air Force 1 Hi Christmas Contrasting the red tones is a green Christmas sweater-printed strap that runs around the collar, and a white fluffy lining that peeps out of the shoe. Gold-toned branding rounds out the pair. In complete contrast is the Blazer Mid, a dark green leather sneaker with green sweater overlays appearing on the eyestay, toe bumper, front-quarter, and heel.Red Swooshes, green tongue tabs, and gold eyelets continue to ramp up the festivities, while a fluffy heel complete with Nike branding finishes this pair. Lastly, the Air Max 90 is here, complete with its green sweater upper that takes over the majority of the shoe’s base.
