Summary
- CPFM x Nike Flea 1 “Cave Purple” previewed via CPFM’s Instagram Stories — style code IU5238-500
- Tonal purple suede upper with geometric panels, dirt-like oversized outsole in dark purple, black-and-white yin-yang logo at the heel
- Expected Holiday 2026 for $180, likely via raffle on CPFM’s website; a Travis Scott Flea 1 collaboration is reported for Spring 2027
The weirdest shoe in Nike‘s current lineup just got its loudest-quiet colorway. Cactus Plant Flea Market has previewed the Flea 1 “Cave Purple” — and instead of playing the silhouette’s chaos up with contrast, CPFM drowns the whole thing in purple.
Soft suede covers the upper in layered geometric panels, running Cave Purple into Dark Raisin and Purple Dynasty. Underneath sits the Flea 1’s signature party trick: an exaggerated outsole textured like dirt caked onto the bottom of the shoe, here finished in dark purple so it reads less like mud and more like sculpture. The one break in the palette is CPFM’s black-and-white yin-yang logo at the heel.
The Flea 1 has been a ghost since it first surfaced — sightings for years, concrete release info almost never. That is finally changing: “Cave Purple” is slated to be among the first colorways to actually reach stores, landing alongside the “Barley” makeup, with a Travis Scott collaboration on the silhouette reported behind it for Spring 2027.
No exact date yet. Expect a raffle through CPFM’s own website when Holiday 2026 gets closer — this is not a shoe that sits on shelves.
Cactus Plant Flea Market, the label founded by Cynthia Lu, has built its Nike work on playful, handmade-feeling designs, and the Flea 1 continues that with its oversized dirt-textured outsole and patched-together panels. “Cave Purple” matters because it is set to be one of the first Flea 1 colorways to actually reach stores after years of sightings. More of the brand’s current drops are on the Nike brand page, and NikeSkims’ Waffle Racer lands this week too, November 10.
