Collaborations

Cactus Plant Flea Market has created limited edition merchandise for Kid Cudi for his Man on the Moon III: The Chosen album,^[5] as well as for his collaboration with Kanye West, KIDS SEE GHOSTS.^[9]

In October 2022, the brand designed figural versions of the McDonaldland characters for a McDonald's limited edition adult version of the Happy Meal entitled the Cactus Plant Flea Market box.^[10][6] The characters featured (Birdie, Grimace, the Hamburglar, and CPFM's Cactus Buddy) were given four eyes, as it is a common identifier of the brand, dubbed "double vision".^[11][1]

That same month, CPFM and Nike released the Flea 1 Overgrown Dunks, shoes intentionally designed with materials to feel mossy.^[12] Although initial opinions of the shoes were of shock and surprise, the model was still highly sought-after and sold out quickly.^[13] On October the following year, they released the Flea 2, a shoe with a detachable Nike "swoosh" and tire tread appearance.^[14]

On December 5, 2024, clothing brand Uniqlo announced a collaboration with CPFM to create a line of SpongeBob SquarePants themed shirts, hoodies and accessories for their UT sub-brand. The collab officially released on December 12, 2024.^[15]
