# Cactus-Themed Sneakers Nike and 'Cactus Plant Flea Market' Have Collaborated on a New Sneaker By Colin Smith | Published 2022-01-07 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cactus-sneaker References: [highsnobiety](https://www.highsnobiety.com/p/cactus-plant-flea-market-nike-dunk-2022-release-date-price/) & [cactusplantfleamarketshop](https://cactusplantfleamarketshop.com/) The popular lifestyle and sports apparel brand [Nike](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/book-1-sneaker) has teamed up with '[Cactus Plant Flea Market](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cactus-plant-flea-market-1)' to create a shoe that looks like a cactus sneaker. This sneaker uses the damp, green color palette of a cactus and a desert. It incorporates a mixture of dark greens and washed-out yellows and browns which make the sneaker look like it came from a swamp or a forest. The sneaker features a [green fuzzy midsole](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/evergreen-aura) with a sewn-on white Nike check logo that changes material as it passes from the midsole to the upper. In the spirit of Cactus Plant Flea Market there is a Yin & Yang sign in black and white on the rear upper of the sneaker. This pair of sneakers also breaks away from traditional symmetry by placing a Nike logo on the left sneaker's Tongue and a 'CPFM' logo on the right sneaker's tongue. There is currently no information on release date or price, which will likely come in the future.
