The NBA and NFL pre-game tunnels are some of the sneaker industry’s favorite spots for a sneaker debut. From Wemby’s first look at the Victor Victor x Nike Air Force 1 ‘01 collection during last season’s playoffs, Cooper Flagg’s New Balance 950 debut, or a fresh Shedeur Sanders Nike DT Max ‘96 PE just last weekend, the tunnel is a runway show complete with cameras and social media commentary.

King Cactus

The industry’s most beloved tunnel walker, LeBron James, continued his Philly hot streak over the weekend before the game even started, pulling out the first seeded pair we’ve seen of the Cactus Plant Flea Market x Nike Air Flea 1 in Cave Purple. Now, after getting our first previews of the pair from CPFM last week on Election Day and a follow-up look from King James, we’ve got another, closer look at the royal purple colorway.

Starting with a layer of purple mud covering the textured midsole that climbs up onto the toe, side panels, and heel, the rest of the shoe takes the general shape of a Dunk or Air Force 1, but with thinner support panels on either side of the toe and heel, quilted toebox and side panels, and lace loops instead of eyelets. A yin-yang is embroidered on the lateral heel, with a FLEA logo on the tongue.
