Nike and Cactus Plant Flea Market are preparing to release a new version of the Flea 1 trainers in the Cave Purple colourway. The model stands out for its rich purple suede upper and a particularly unusual sole that looks as though earth has stuck to it and hardened.
LeBron James was one of the first to appear in public wearing the trainers, immediately drawing attention to the upcoming release.
The Flea 1 features a multi-layered construction with textured details, a bulky tongue and a chunky collar. The Cactus Plant Flea Market designers have noticeably altered Nike's familiar proportions, making the silhouette deliberately unusual.
Texture resembling hardened clay also appears on the upper part of the trainers, so the whole model looks more like a small sculpture than ordinary sports footwear.
The Cave Purple pair comes in Cave Purple/Dark Raisin-Purple Dynasty shades.
The trainers are expected to go on sale during the 2026 holiday season for around $180. The exact release date has not yet been announced.
