At Nike’s street-soccer–themed Toma LA event, Travis Scott threw the spotlight on the highly anticipated Cactus Plant Flea Market × Nike Dunk Low “Swamp Sponge.” This debut marks the first full reveal of the silhouette, showcasing the festival’s signature textured design language.
The “Swamp Sponge” iteration embraces CPFM’s experimental edge, blending oversized Swooshes and a raft of bold, psychedelic patterns across the toe and upper. One colorway dubbed “Sequoia” features dense green motifs, layered primary-color accents, and distorted, artistic treatments to echo sponge-like textures.
Details are just dropping: the pack includes three mismatched colorways: Sequoia/Sequoia/Sequoia, Photo Blue/Digital Pink/Sequoia, and Psychic Purple/Photo Blue/Gold Suede, each rumored to launch in Fall 2025 and retail for approximately USD 150–155.
While CPFM’s designs can often feel theatrical, this release feels rawer than ever, a high-concept throwback fused with Travis Scott’s own off-kilter energy. A first peek that’s already redefining what a sneaker drop can be.
