Cynthia Lu’s Cactus Plant Flea Market (CPFM) took the internet by storm the other day by unveiling a Travis Scott x CPFM Nike Flea 1, a sneaker that, for all its quirks, is sure to sell well if it does indeed see a public release. But truth be told, Travis Scott shoes were only half the story. CPFM is gearing up to launch a full-scale Nike ACG collection for Spring 2026, spanning five apparel items and maybe the dopest ACG accessory we’ve ever seen.
CPFM’s collaborative sneaker backlog led us to expect something quirky on the apparel side, and that’s exactly the case. But the approach is more dialed-in than you might think.
In 1999, Nike embarked on one of the strongest experiments in its history. Damon Clegg, Creative Director of Footwear for ACG, was tasked with designing and producing tracking vests for endangered Jamaican iguanas, allowing conservationists to monitor their movement and behavior in the wild without restricting mobility or causing injury. The result: for a few years, those Jamaican iguanas were really putting that s*** on. The project was handled by a small team at Nike ACG and kept top secret, but the iguana has remained a muse of sorts for Nike ACG products ever since. You can read more about the project HERE if you’re interested.
A quarter century later, the iguana plays a leading role in CPFM’s Nike ACG collection. Multiple types of iguana-shaped accessories appear throughout, including a green stuffed animal that doubles as an Anorak jacket bag. Additional items include a rainbow-colored Fleece Anorak featuring chrome, almost liquid metal-like overbranding, as well as a multicolor crewneck with iguana scale graphics. There’s also a grey collared, button-up fleece that’s probably the most low-key garment of the bunch, joined by green pants with rainbow mesh underneath.
The CPFM x Nike ACG collection is set to release during the Spring 2026 shopping season, meaning sometime between now and the end of March. See official images below before deciding which pieces to go for.
