In Spring 2024, Nike and Bode released their first collaboration, highlighting the long-dormant Astrograbber as their sneaker of choice. This Summer, the model is finally getting a wide release, with Soft Yellow and Alumina colorways available for their Summer 2025 pack.
Way back in 1974, Nike introduced the Astrograbber to their performance shoe offerings. In response to the growing trend of Astroturf replacing natural grass in professional sports, athletes needed a new shoe that could grip the plastic material and provide better traction on the new surface. The Astrograbber was the Swoosh’s answer, hence the name, and was inspired by Bill Bowerman’s experiments with the iconic waffle sole.
The Astrograbber faded into obscurity as Nike advanced their performance innovations, until last year, when Bode helped revived the model as a part of their debut Nike collaboration, fifty years after its introduction. Bode and Nike followed up this March with a second round of colors for the model, and now, Nike is preparing the Astrograbber for its return to their in-line catalog. Appearing on the AsphaltGold release calendar, the first pairs are scheduled to land later this month in two Summer-ready colorways. First up, a Soft Yellow iteration a black accent, while the Alumina blue pair adds buttery yellow tones to the Swooshes and laces. Both pairs sport vintage black & orange Nike logos on the tongues.
