Cactus Plant Flea Market has long been one of the most unpredictable forces in streetwear. Cynthia Lu’s brand has a habit of turning familiar silhouettes into something altogether stranger and more compelling. For Spring 2026, CPFM has teamed up with Nike ACG and the result is one of the most characterful apparel collections to land this year.
The concept is simple enough on paper. ACG provides the outdoor-ready technical specs. CPFM brings the off-kilter energy. Put them together and you get a collection that, as Nike put it, “just kinda makes sense.” In practice, it means trail-ready fabrics, iguana-scale graphics, beaded clips, gecko brooches, and a general commitment to the idea that functional gear should never be boring.
The Iguana Connection
There’s a surprisingly deep history behind the collection’s reptilian motifs. Back in 1999, Nike ACG’s Creative Director of Footwear, Damon Clegg, led a small team that designed and produced tracking vests for endangered Jamaican iguanas, allowing conservationists to monitor the animals without restricting their movement. The project was kept under wraps for years, but the iguana has quietly served as a design muse for ACG ever since.
CPFM has leaned into that legacy hard. Iguana-shaped accessories appear throughout the collection, including a green stuffed animal that doubles as an Anorak bag. It’s the kind of detail that makes this more than just another co-branded apparel drop.
The Pieces
The collection spans five key items, each one carrying CPFM’s unmistakable fingerprints on top of ACG’s technical foundations.
The standout piece. A sherpa fleece balaclava hoodie with an all-over gradient design, nylon elbow and shoulder patches, faux-chrome branding, and a set of FLEA and ACG beads hanging from the hood. The trail-snack pockets – inside and out – keep things practical. This one is bold, plush, and instantly recognisable.
Long-Sleeve Crew-Neck Sweatshirt
French terry on the inside, iguana scale graphics on the outside. A gecko brooch and beaded lizard clip come along for the ride. Loud in the best possible way.
The trails-meet-leisure piece of the collection. Built from plush French terry with custom buttons (and replacement buttons, because details matter), ACG-inspired embroidery, and a FLEA FIT patch. The beaded lizard clip returns here too.
Voluminous, lightweight woven trousers with mesh vents, a soft lining, and a splotchy oil-stain all-over print. The custom keychain – featuring a beaded lizard clip, flea-in-amber pendant, and a mystery key – might be the most CPFM thing to ever come attached to a pair of trousers.
The most accessible entry point into the collection. All-over-print coverage, embroidered branding, and a FLEA FIT patch. Functional warmth, done with personality.
The Campaign
The collection arrived with some serious co-signs. Travis Scott was spotted modelling unreleased garments from the range in front of Milan’s Duomo, giving the drop an extra layer of hype before a single piece had officially gone on sale.
Release Info
The CPFM x Nike ACG collection dropped first via the Cactus Plant Flea Market website on 27th February 2026, with a wider release through Nike SNKRS following on 3rd March 2026.
If you missed both drops, KLEKT is your best bet for picking up pieces from the collection at market price. Given the combination of CPFM’s cult following, the Travis Scott co-sign, and the genuine originality of the designs, these are not going to sit around.
