FAQs
What does CPFM stand for?
CPFM stands for Cactus Plant Flea Market, the name of the LA-based apparel label collaborating with Nike.
Are the elastic straps adjustable?
The elastic straps are designed for a secure fit and are not adjustable. They are part of the shoe's distinctive design.
How do I clean the rubberized toe and heel sections?
Wipe these sections with a damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as they can damage the rubber material.
Can I wear these for athletic activities?
While they offer some support and grip, these sneakers are primarily designed for lifestyle wear and fashion. They are not recommended for high-impact sports.
What is the significance of the different colored pull tabs?
The asymmetrical pull tabs (orange/yellow on one shoe, Pro Green/Black on the other) are a deliberate design choice by Cactus Plant Flea Market, adding to the shoe's eclectic and playful aesthetic.
What size should I get?
Based on typical Nike sizing, it is recommended to order your usual Nike sneaker size. However, due to the unique fit from the straps, trying them on in person is ideal if possible.
Is the Swoosh permanently attached?
No, the prominent Swoosh on the side panel is designed to be removable, allowing for a customized look.
Troubleshooting
Swoosh is difficult to remove or reattach
Ensure the shoe is dry. Align the Swoosh carefully with the designated area and apply gentle, even pressure. Avoid forcing it, which could damage the shoe.
Discoloration on the 'Faded Spruce' upper
Wipe gently with a slightly damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid excessive rubbing or harsh cleaning agents. If the discoloration is from dye transfer, it may be permanent. Test any cleaning solution on an inconspicuous area first.
Elastic straps feel too tight or too loose
The straps are designed for a snug fit. If too tight, wear the shoes for short periods to allow them to stretch slightly. If excessively loose, they may not provide adequate support, and professional adjustment might be needed, though this is uncommon.
Rubberized tread shows wear
This is normal with use. Clean regularly to maintain grip. For significant wear, consider rotating with other footwear to prolong the lifespan of the tread.

Compatibility: Designed as unisex adult footwear, these sneakers are compatible with casual wear. They pair well with streetwear, jeans, shorts, and athleisure outfits.
Care:
- Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt and dust from the 'Faded Spruce' synthetic upper. For stubborn marks, a mild soap solution can be used sparingly, followed by wiping with a clean, damp cloth.
- Suede/Nubuck Areas: If applicable, use a suede brush to gently remove dry dirt. For tougher stains, use a specialized suede cleaner.
- Rubberized Tread: Clean with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals that could degrade the rubber.
- Straps and Linings: Wipe with a damp cloth. Ensure they are fully dry before storing to prevent mildew.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally in a shoe bag or their original box, away from direct sunlight to preserve color and material integrity.
