Cactus Plant Flea Market Air Flea 2 | Review & Sizing Guide

The long-anticipated release of the Cactus Plant Flea Market (CPFM) x Nike Air Flea 2 "Faded Spruce" is finally here and it's making a bold statement in the sneaker community. This unique collaboration continues the tradition of innovation and creativity between Nike and CPFM, following the success of past projects like the Air VaporMax 2019, Blazer Mid by You, and of course, the hairy Air Flea 1, among others​.
The "Faded Spruce" colorway brings a playful vibe to the silhouette with its green and blue uppers on the left and right pair respectively. The design further impresses with a black overlaid strap and rubberized sole, while a cheeky bear-inspired footprint, detachable oversized Swooshes, and various charms add to its eclectic aesthetics. These details offer a distinctive character to the Nike Air Flea 2, a testament to the whimsical and offbeat design approach of Cactus Plant Flea Market​. In this video
In terms of release details, sneaker enthusiasts were able to grab a pair starting October 18, 2023, at a retail price of $220. The release was a surprise, announced just two days before the actual drop, living up to CPFM's MO of being surprising in design and timing​.
Reflecting on the journey of Nike x CPFM collaborations, it's fascinating how the partnership has evolved over the years. From their first joint venture with the VaporMax in 2019, showcasing a deconstructed design with iconic smiley face branding, to the customizable options in the Blazer "Sponge By You" and Air Force One Low by You, the duo has continually pushed the boundaries of sneaker design. The Air Flea 1 marked a significant milestone, being dubbed as the collaborators at their boldest, setting a high bar that the Air Flea 2 effortlessly meets, if not surpasses​.
This video delves into an in-depth review of the Nike Air Flea 2 "Faded Spruce", exploring its design intricacies, the materials used, and how it stands in the lineage of CPFM x Nike projects. Join us as we unravel the artistry of this remarkable sneaker, its impact on the streetwear culture, and why it's a must-have for both sneakerheads and fashion enthusiasts alike.

I’m 9.5 aswell and tried both 9 and 9.5. I would say 9 fit me perfect. I could wear the 9.5 if I had no other choice and it would fit with a little room (one finger or some) but definitely half size down. Hope this helps someone. Nice breakdown though 👍🏼

[@TheSneakerCircle]

I appreciate the input 🙏🏼

[@6IX6IX_]

I am wearing 8.5 to 9 and went 8.5 since i like it a bit snug. Thanks for the explanation! Mine is on the way

[@TheSneakerCircle]

Perfect! Let me know how they fit when you get them in

[@SquiinTv]

I got a 9.5 and ima 9.5 in those and they fit TTS that’s crazy

[@blacksheeq8667]

I’m 11.5 12 in most shoes besides AF1 I’m true 11 So i would say they fit close to AF1 I got both pairs in 11

[@palon812]

Ima 9.5 an i went with a size 8 n it fits perfect

[@TheSneakerCircle]

Damn that’s a huge size down but I feel you. I don’t think I could’ve gone down that big

[@viralchopra917]

Hey. What size you wear in af1? Would same size work for these?I usually size down half for af1.

[@TheSneakerCircle]

Tbh I stay tts for most af1, but it’s a width issue for me. You could 100% go down half in these since you’re already doing it for forces.

[@viralchopra917]

@@TheSneakerCircle awesome you clarified my doubt. I’ll go with my af1 size then.

[@viralchopra917]

@@TheSneakerCircle yes I have narrow feet. And small size. It’s us7 for airforces and 7/5 for everything else.

[@jamesbayer6042]

Use the foot on the bottom as a guide the foot is the exact size of the shoe

[@TheSneakerCircle]

i gotta try this

[@sheluvstaee]

Where u get the pants I want some like this to fit around my shoes

[@TheSneakerCircle]

Cargos from kith. Tbh Uniqlo has a pretty decent option as well for 1/3rd the price.

[@iceman31641]

Bruh how you 10.5 Jordans and 9.5 in those 👀 when you showed the SBB and how much room you had I damn near cringed. The only way I can wear a 9.5 retro 1 is if I remove the inner sole. I could tell that a 10-10.5 would be my go to. Thanks for the vid because I like this colorway a lot more

[@TheSneakerCircle]

The struggles of wide feet my guy 🥲.

[@iceman31641]

@@TheSneakerCircle I feel you, I have flat feet no arch 😂 it’s amazing how I can wear from a 9.5 to 11 depending on the model of shoe, but I know for a fact my TTS is 10 so I definitely appreciate you letting us know what sz to cop. Depending on sock thickness I likely will go 10 because I’m a 10 in Echo Crocs

[@edwardwatkins7101]

Fits true to size or possibly go a half size up

[@TheSneakerCircle]

crazy, you're the first person who has said this.

[@edwardwatkins7101]

If I would have went a size down they wouldn’t have fit. And I got the SNKRS release

[@bernard5238]

Go true to size on these shoes I have two pair and I wear a size 12 they fit perfect

They probably look huge don’t they?? I wear a size 12 as well.

[@bernard5238]

@@Jburke1000 it depends or one what you hook them up with you can’t wear these shoes with skinny jeans just not gonna look right

1-10 how comfy are they?& They're not spiders there fleas as in cactus plant flea market get it....

[@TheSneakerCircle]

Fleas make sense. I should’ve counted legs tbh. And comfort wise they’re a solid 7.5/10. They provide some decent support and laces so slip on rules kind of apply with these after you adjust the straps.

[@mobsyndicate1389]

@@TheSneakerCircle I went TTS & I sold them,Not wide enough for me. Im went a full size up,my new BOAT's come today 😂🙏🏽there not to big.
