Nike’s Astrograbber was an interesting choice for Bode’s debut Swoosh collaboration, reviving a 50-year-old sneaker. Now, the model has its first in-line styles on the way, including a smooth green & sail build, coming soon.
Way back in 1974, Nike introduced the Astrograbber to their performance shoe offerings. The silhouette was a response to the growing trend of astroturf replacing real grass in professional arenas. Athletes needed a new kind of footwear that provided better grip and traction on the sleek new plastic material. The Astrograbber was the Swoosh’s answer, hence the very literal name, and built on Bill Bowerman’s experiments with the iconic waffle sole.
This season, the Astrograbber finally returns to Nike’s in-line catalog, following its two releases in collaboration with Bode. Last week, we got our first look at new blue & yellow colors of the simple model, which are hitting shelves overseas this week. Today, a third style has surfaced, likely joining its counterparts for the debut lineup when they hit shelves in the States. The new pair comes in a lush green shade, constructed from smooth nubuck with a white leather Swoosh on either side.
