Matt Varga Cactus Plant Flea Market x Nike is always good to make a splash, from their Uptempo mash-up Air Force 1 that remains a coveted formula, to arguably the Swoosh’s most sought-after apparent piece of the year in the crochet hockey jersey. Cynthia Lu’s imprint is evidently branching out from the Swoosh mainline, as images of a new collaboration have started circulating.
Seemingly formed in the mold of the CPFM rainbow “Cowboy Fleece” from 2020, the piece in question is the “Balaclava Hoodie,” pairing the eccentric touch of the label with equally eye-catching liquid metal text, spread across the “Just Do It” mantra and three minimizing Swooshes just below. That three-headed branding run is repeated on the reverse, additionally adding diagonal pockets and a “Air Flea” style flip of the ACG logo.
While Nike ACG has been a celebrated arm of Beaverton for years, this high-profile collaboration comes to light as “all conditions gear” reaches a new crest. The return of the Air Max Goadome highlights a highly marked run of bring-back efforts, while a more novel side of the catalog emerges via the Nike All Conditions Racing Department, pairing supershoe tech with the sub-brand’s hardy tech.
At this juncture, it doesn’t appear that footwear is in the works; info obtained by @brandon1an and @KicksFinder points to this collection comprising the Balacvla Hoodie pictured, as well as an Anorak ($250), raver pant ($180), long sleeve polo and crew ($140, $160), and a sherpa hat ($60). However, we can’t entirely rule out the CPFM touch hitting an ACG classic — we’ll keep this page updated as this capsule’s launch date is confirmed and more info comes available.
