Travis Scott, CPFM and Nike revive Flea 1 for spring 2027

The Flea 1 is back in play, this time as a Travis Scott x Cactus Plant Flea Market x Nike project dressed in Khaki, Night Forest, Oatmeal and Baroque Brown. The rumored pair carries style code IX7250-200, a Spring 2027 release window and a $180 retail tag, a sharper price point than the $190 Overgrown pair that finally brought the silhouette to market in November 2022.

That price and palette matter because the Flea 1 has never been a normal sneaker proposition. It is awkward by design, with a bulbous, almost fungal shape that CPFM turns into something closer to wearable sculpture than a standard Nike runner. Travis Scott’s reverse Swoosh and Cactus Jack branding give it the kind of instant-recognition shorthand that moves product across sneaker Twitter, resale apps and the collector segment that still treats Scott as a release-day event. In other words, this is not just another colorway. It is a three-way signal flare aimed at buyers who already understand the overlap between Houston swagger, Cynthia Lu’s unruly CPFM language and Nike’s appetite for engineered scarcity.

The backstory explains why the possibility of a second life feels bigger than the model itself. The Flea 1 was first expected in 2022, with official images of a Barley colorway surfacing before the launch was scrapped over production issues. Nike and CPFM pivoted to Overgrown instead, releasing that version in late November 2022 through CPFM’s site on November 25 and Nike SNKRS on November 29. SNKRS sold it as a walking garden, with tufts of grass-green synthetic fur giving the shoe its surreal, overgrown finish. That release established the silhouette, but it also showed how fragile the line can be when the design is this unusual and the manufacturing stakes are this high.

The new rumor is being fueled further by a CPFM Instagram teaser that showed Travis Scott holding what appears to be a CPFM x Travis Scott x Nike Air/Flea 1 sample in earthy brown and sail tones. That detail matters because it suggests the project may have started as a private sample before moving toward public release, a path that often signals real development rather than idle concept art. Still, Nike has not formally confirmed the launch, and a Spring 2027 window leaves a long runway for hype to build, cool off or break apart entirely.

If the shoe does surface through CPFM, Travis Scott’s webstore, Nike SNKRS and select retailers, it will arrive with built-in cultural gravity but also real product risk. The Flea 1 is too strange to coast on logo alone, yet that strangeness is exactly why this revival is worth watching: it could mark a true comeback for one of Nike’s oddest modern silhouettes, or it could become another carefully staged tease that never quite outruns its own mythology.
